After watching Young Justice episode Failsafe and Fear Itself 7.1 got me thinking of character deaths in comics so i decided to create this list . writer
“Death in superhero comics is cyclical in its nature, and that's for a lot of reasons, whether they are story reasons, copyright reasons, or fan reasons. But death doesn't exist the same way it does in our world, and thank God for that. I wish death existed in our world as it does in comics.”
Comic books are well known for having revolving door on character deaths to boost sales,to tell story or developed drama or character.People say they don’t take character death seriously in comics but sometimes character deaths are done so well that people really get affected by them or get great story and this is my top 13 best deaths in comics and i’m not counting one’s like batman parents and uncle Ben.
13) The Question
Vic Sage dies so Renee Montoya can became the new question but this death doesn’t bother me like other dies that do this because this one is done well.We see Vic trying to get Renee live back in order after crap that has happen to her.They have friendship that when Vic dies going crazy from the cancer that he has and Renee to doing everything in her power to save him creates one of sad moments in comic history.
12) Jean Grey
Jean Grey turn into a monster when she turned into the dark phoenix.She destroyed over billions of lives but in the end in one of best Marvel stories ever written she kills herself making the right choice.The scene is touching and sad which makes you feel sad for cyclops and the x-men.The reason why this scene so low on list is that Jean Grey has came back for dead tons of times and has became running joke but original death is still masterpiece.
11) Jason Todd
By the vote of 5,343 votes to 5,271 the young Jason Todd‘s fate was sealed to killed off which turned out to be The joker with a crowbar killing him.You kinda feel sad for Jason since all we wanted to do was help his mother but fans wanted dead he died and later came back at Red Hood.This was one of Batman’s greatest failure which was pointed out by The Riddler in Batman:Hush.This death haunted Batman almost as much as his parents death haunting him and Jason died in very graphic matter showing how evil the Joker really is.
10) Ted Kord
People treated Blue Beetle and his good buddy Booster Gold as comic relief and nothing more but that all changed when he died.Kord managed to use his athletic ability and smarts to figure out that Maxwell Lord was behind a global conspiracyto rule the world. He snuck into Max's castle lair to find out the truth, was captured and beaten, and finally given the opportunity to join Max or die he tells maxwell word to rot in hell and that was how he died.Ted Kord finally all serious business and showed himself he was every bit the detective Batman was. It was an unfair treatment of a great hero.
