Things that make you go hmmm...

I was just perusing some random entertainment blogs throughout the internets and came upon the results for winners for Spike TV's 2008 Scream Awards. It was pretty uninteresting until I came to the last award, for "Most Shocking Comic Book Twist". The winner was "The X-Men Disband After Professor X is Shot in the Head by Bishop".

What what what?*

Sure superheroes die in comics all the time, and I don't really follow them at all anymore, but with all the hoopla over Captain America's death I figured I would've heard more about this?! WTF!
