It was easier to kill him off, I guess. I bet he isn’t popular enough to ever be resurrected, either. Black Goliath wasn’t the best superhero. He struggled with his crimefighting career. He made some blunders and he had some victories. Still, he tried. There’s where his character lies: a good man at heart, a scientist trying to do the right thing. He was a noble man, that Black Goliath, and now he’s gone, and will quickly be forgotten. It’s a damn shame. I totally would’ve put him on the Avengers if I wrote it. For more on Black Goliath, check out Scott Tipton’s Comics 101 piece on him, or Bahlactus’ look at the first issue of Black Goliath. They offer up better views, background, and cool scans than I can.

He's dead and won't be back (<i>AND</i> they used him like cannon fodder -- ripped out of <b>hollywood 101</b> storytelling tactics!) There has been some talk about the point of his death, but, nothing i've read so far really justifies the move. Keep on comin' through! There's more to come. More necessary thank you know, bruh.

It's really a shame that he ended up dying in <i>Civil War</i>. I thought they were going to bring him back in a bigger way in the post <i>Civil War</i> universe, but I thought wrong. At least his death is making other heroes think about their role in the War. But, boy, do I miss the uncomplicated times of issues like <i>Black Goliath</i> #1. Again, thanks for sharing.
