Professor Xavier Makes The Ultimate Sacrifice in Avengers VS. X-Men #11, On-Sale Now!
New York, NY—September 12th, 2012—In the move that shocked and saddened comic book fans worldwide, beloved super hero Professor Charles Xavier meets his demise today in Avengers VS. X-Men #11. In the penultimate chapter of the biggest comic book story in 2012, superstar creators Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel rally the forces of the Marvel Universe against the final two members of the seemingly all-powerful Phoenix Five—Cyclops and Emma Frost. But as this epic battle rages, Cyclops makes a decision that not only takes the life of the man who formed the X-Men and raised him like a son, but that also may damn both the Avengers and the X-Men!
“When we first crafted Avengers VS. X-Men, we didn’t set out to kill any characters but as the story progressed it became obvious that this had to be the last stand of Charles Xavier”, said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “He’s one of my favorite characters and while like all fans I’m sad to see him perish, both Brian and Olivier deliver a powerful, dramatic conclusion to his story. Rest assured his death will reverberate across the Marvel Universe, leading into major launches likeUncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men this fall.”
Then, on October 3rd, the dramatic conclusion to the series arrives in Avengers VS X-Men #12, as the remaining Marvel super heroes launch their final assault on the Phoenix Five and the force that threatens to consume all of reality. Once this battle ends, nothing with be the same for the Avengers, the X-Men or anyone else in the Marvel Universe.

Grotesk: "It's been done."
"I'm dead right now." Awesome. That's the first thing I've seen in weeks that made me laugh out loud.
I read your comment before I read the 'toon. So I knew it was coming. And I stilled laughed. Out loud.

I commented on the subject here and my opinion hasn't changed now! Heck, he even "died" in the movies!
Is Cap 'dead right now, by some quirky wonder of comicbook plotting?
First Oracle and now the Prof. Who needs disabled people anyway?
I laughed out loud as well. It reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine where he recited some of the excuses he'd make as a boy that his parents never believed:
"I was dead at the time!"
"I was on the moon!"
Etc.
