Marvel Entertainment just loves killing off its heroes, and bringing them back, and killing them again. Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar, Leinil Yu, and Mark Bagley are crafting The Death of Spider-Man, a new event spanning Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates series. This new story has been previously announced, but today Marvel added that the entire story will be made available day and date digitally on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the print copies. This is following in the success of their day and date release of the new Ultimate Comics Thor series.
The story will appear in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man 153 & 154 and Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates starting in February. Marvel is keen to remind us that there are no rules in the Ultimate Universe, so these writers can do whatever they want with the characters.
Does anyone care if they kill off Spider-Man and if so, will you read it digitally?

Will this be an entry into the Jim Shooter Award for 2010 or 2011?
