Superman 651; the bodycount:
2 bystanders fall to their death;
Where?
2 guards have their brains sucked out and eaten;
Their blood sucked out, actually. Fleas drink blood, they don't eat brains. And I plotted that bit.
one man has his heart ripped out by a completely uncaring monster who regards human life as disposable and gloats in cruelty.
That particular man has survived such treatment before, so I hardly think it adds to the bodycount. And the man who did it has been uncaring and a killer for decades, and has often gloated in cruelty.
You'd think the CCA would catch this stuff.
There is no CCA rule against there being deaths in comic books. Otherwise, those bastards Siegel and Shuster, who blew up a whole planet, would be booted out of the industry right alongside that parent-killer Bob Kane.
I will have to drop the Superman books until Geoff Johns is off them, and I will be returning this issue to the store for a refund.
The previous two issues were fun while they lasted, though.
First issue's bodycount is at least as high -- two scientists killed on the Avenue of Tomorrow.
Second issue didn't have any on-panel deaths, but it did establish that one of the villains liked burning through people with fake heat-vision.
Next two issues have no on-panel deaths that I can recall offhand.
