Wait... People Still Care About Charles Xavier?
So, wait, Charles Xavier isn't dead until some writer manages to get bored and decides to have him pop up in a cloned body, or as his reborn twin sister, or something equally contrived? I'm sorry, but it's really hard to care about whether or not Xavier will die, since he's already been there and brought back the T-shirt at least a couple of times over the years.
Feel free to read Marvel's press release regarding their latest plot twists for the soap opera that is the X-Men after the jump.
A single shot to head of Charles Xavier brought an end to the X-Men and killed his dream. But in the wake of Messiah CompleX’s shocking conclusion, what is the fate of Professor X? In X-Men: Legacy #208, from red-hot writer Mike Carey and rising star artist Scot Eaton (X-Factor, X-Men: Endangered Species), along with the guest art team of John Romita Jr and Klaus Janson illustrating crucial moments from X-Men history and a cover by superstar artist David Finch, a bold new era for mutantkind begins!As Xavier’s life hangs in the balance, assistance comes from the last place he’d expect! While Xavier’s saviors seek to restore him, providing fans with a powerful look inside the mind of the X-Men’s founder, a question must be asked: will Xavier’s restoration save mutantkind…or doom mankind?
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on X-Men: Legacy and all X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-ins, as the future of mutants in the Marvel universe is revealed and as critics continue to hail the current direction of the X-titles! Just what will happen to Xavier? And how will Magneto, Gambit and Rogue figure into the equation? The answers arrive in X-Men: Legacy #208!

The twin sister shot was cheap, Morrison's run was one of the best there's been imo. :p
But I see your point, Xavier's "died" so many times now it's hard to care.
