I'll try to be discreet, but this is quasi-spoilerish...so wait and read Skrullapalooza #8 (a.k.a. Really? That Was It?), before reading this.
Apparently, a hero dies early on in the issue. But I beg to differ.
Carefully read what happens in those pages (as much as you can decipher from the frankly indecipherable storytelling by Lenil Yu), and compare it to these panels from waaaay back in Avengers #16 (1965):
Seems really similar, doesn't it? In Skrullapalooza, you don't actually see this character die; they just kinda vanish in a similar way to what Thor did to the Masters of Evil 43 years ago. And given Bendis' propensity to wuss out on any deaths on his big events (e.g., only Ant-Man and Jack of Hearts actually stayed dead after Avengers Disassembled, and I imagine they'll be back any day now), you can bet he did it this way to bring this person back in the not too distant future.
Much more on the inevitable creative flop of Skrullapalooza to come soon...
