Comic Sans almost killed Helvetica in the 90's, that was the closest that Helvetica came to an end.

And even if it did kill Helvetica, who, outside the design community (and even within it), would know the difference or give a shit?
PR is the common sense killer.

all kidding aside, when are we getting a new "the" font, when will Helvetica become obsolete? There's gotta be a development into something new.
What do we have to wait for Steve Jobs to tell everyone that Helvetica is dead and kiss his feet in concordance?- trands come and go and uncle helvetica comes back every time. might always do so.airey
