This commentary on a sci-fi website compares the grim and gritty regime in comics to pornography:

Ack! I wasn't expecting to see that! I read on this board that Wasp had died, but never imagined... I also read the Manga article linked at the top of the page, and I'm now wondering if current comic book creators are following Hideaki Anno's NEON GENESIS EVANGELION example of working out all their personal issues and inner demons through the medium... Beats paying a therapist, I guess.

It was the Ultimate Blob eating the Ultimate Wasp, so let's not go thinking Marvel is messing with the classics.
Uhhh... The "real" Wasp was killed by Thor when he sent her to another dimension to explode during Secret Invasion.
What the Hell, Marvel??!!

I really agree this sentence:
"But whereas with regular porn is a solitary, onanistic pursuit, superhero tragedy porn fucks us all."

Unfortunately, some of "us" appear to like it.

Sir John Simon, a pioneer in the field of public health, wisely opined "When the remedy has been found, the next generation has difficulty in understanding how the old conditions could have been allowed."
It appears that when the remedy fails and the infection spreads far and wide, we of the previous generation have difficulty in understanding how the new conditions can be so casually accepted...
