Manic Monday Bonus--It's All Her Fault!!
The depressing trend of resurrecting recently deceased heroes, and thus rendering death a ridiculously overused and non-serious plot device, can be traced to this letter in Avengers #19 (1965):
So it's all your fault, Rosalind L. Rogoff, of New Rochelle, New York!!

This is a trend that I am heartily heartily sick of. The death part that is. If the writers don't want to use a character, then don't use that character, but don't just gratuitously kill them off. It's lost whatever impact that it originally had...and then you lose what could be a great character to write about for some other writer.
