Still, doesn't seem to me like a smart strategy to earn money.
And truth be told, I didn't even know about the death of Battle Force 2000 so it seems even more far fetched.
If you follow the entire DD series you will see that they tried to cut the team down from the first issue. And not just by killing characters off. Something just feels wrong about that statement.
Oh well. Until I get a confirmation from the writer of the issue where Lady Jaye was killed (via an interview in a magazine or similar) then I probably won't believe them trying to make money off killing off characters which could potentially rack in more money in merchandise. It just seems to counter productive especially for a franchise such as Gijoe which relies on toy sales as well as the comics.
