Comic Book Deaths of 2012

At the end of every year, the media plays a montage of famous people who have died that year.  I decided to put together a little list of characters in comics that died this year.  Of course, with comic books, characters often never stay dead, but they still deserve mention.  Unless of course it is sCrypt Comics, because whoever we kill STAYS Dead… 🙂  Here is the list.  If you have any others that you can think of, please list them below.  (information aqcuired through wikipedia)
