    Everyone should know this by now but:

     
    He faced the Annihilation Wave and fell... or did he? 
     
    Johnny's Supernova ability should have let him put up much more of a fight than they showed. I remember in Secret Invasion Johnny's ex Lyja was also in the Negative Zone. Unless these facts were completely overlooked Johnny could still be running around the Negative Zone.

    I've had the feeling that he's not really dead since it went down...He's not dead unless there's a body and even then it's suspect

    Co-Signed. Even on the off chance that he is dead, he wouldn't stay that way. Nobody does.

    I would highley doubt that he is dead. I can't think of a single person who is as popular as him dying and not coming back, but maybe Marvel is going to try...

    i doubt many characters will really die until Marvel or the comic industry as a whole decides to allow characters to reach old age and die of disease and what not. Til then: no one stays dead.

    I'm almost certain that every member of the FF has "died" at some point already. Don't know why there's so much hype about this one.

    Oh please, Comics today have thrown out the significance of death. 
    Instead we just have extended hiatus' in character re-appearences (Example: Steve Rogers).

    He is as dead as any other character who died and came back, because let's face it, we all know that he will come back eventually. The question is when.

    Don't sweat it bro,be 100% sure he will somehow come back.
    What you said about negative zone was one assuption i had in my mind to but I don't think it'll be that easy.

    His death made most sense. If Reed had died(i wish he had) thenit would have too big of an impact on the MU, if Sue died Reed would go crazy and try to attack Namor and cause WW3, if Ben had died then the FF would have fell apart seeing as Ben was the FF's heart. Also, Johhny's death gave him more character as it shows he matured more, and took more responsibility.
