Still, I HATE it when writers have to show how much of a badass(Tm)their new bad guys are by either showing them kill off characters written by the book's previous writers, characters that aren't being used at the moment (Like in Starman with the Mist's daughter) or show them bumping off alternate reality versions of the main characters.
And I LOVE how the dead heroes are all lined up so..Were they doing the Conga when the new evil attacked!
