"Women in refigerators" plot device down to the bone. She came back, angst (primarily so DD could angst, more then her), reformed in two or so pages and then was randomly killed off by Bullseye. Maybe its just cause I was a new reader, but if she was somehow meant to be important then Kevin screwed up real bad in actual characterisation... Death of Gwen Stacy or Jean Grey or Mufasa the Lion King it is NOT.
