I hated it as well. The first comic I ever read was CHAMPIONS #9, with Darkstar, so she's always held a special place in my heart. Morrison basically had Darkstar killed off so he could make his pet character Fantomex look bad. Fantomex basically blasted people being controlled by that Weapon X whatever thing and Darkstar was one of the random people killed. Morrison even wrote a pathetic funeral sequence where, through Emma Frost, he basically said Darkstar was worthless. He didn't even bother to have her brother, Vanguard, or her father the Presence, or even her Soviet Super Soldier teammates at the funeral, which was ridiculous.

Sorry for the mini rant. Darkstar's death is still a sore subject with me. I am hoping that it will turn out that the Darkstar who was killed was a Skrull and the real one is still alive somewhere.
