One Year of the CKT: Characters we lost

During our epic two year run as co-hosts of the annual Wizard Fan Awards, Rickey and I had a tradition of compiling a list of comic book characters who had died over the previous year and having whatever intern got roped into helping us run the show create a Power Point tongue-in-cheek tribute. Like everything we did at those shows, these were universally hailed as groundbreaking and awesome.

To wrap up our one year blogiversary (is there a universal spelling for that?) , I thought it would be nice and nostalgic to pay tribute to the fictional characters who fell in the line of duty this year. Fun easy way to slide into our second year, right?

I totally forgot that Ultimatum happened this year.

So here is a partial list of comic book character who died this year, celebrated via artwork I pulled off the Internet. Imagine "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" or "Hey There Delilah" playing in the background (or actually play them as you scroll!) for extra added effect.
