Now, we've seen tons and tons of deaths in comics.

Which ones did you think were coolest/most creative/most disturbing?

I like:

Stick's death in the Miller DD run. Explody. And shocking too.

Kevin in Hard Goodbye. I had nightmares for some time. "HE NEVER SCREAMS!"

In a Captain Britain issue where Slaymaster blinds Becky. Brian has a massive fight with Slaymaster, which ended in Captain holding a boulder above his head to crush Slaymaster. The Master sneers, saying "Fool! You have not the strength to kill m--"
And then Brian brings the rock down on his face.

Watchmen, when Rorschach deals with the kidnapper. Handcuffs + kerosene + match = Rorschach being a complete bad ass.

What about you guys? what are your faves?

I really didn't expect Rorschach to die. It was so sudden.

This one is probably not very known, but I'll give it a shot = a very sad death was that of Girl 1 in Alan Moores Top Ten

One of the all time classics...........the death of Gwen Stacey......one of the unforgettable moments in the spider-history books....................

oh and I also felt sad when Ben Reilly died............

Vision's death in Disassembled. She-Hulk tore him like a pair of week old panties. And Cable's ( sorta ) from X-Cutioner's Song.

Another one everyone knows is Jason. Personally, I didn't find it too great. The whiny idiot had it coming.

Spider-Man's death was sad, even though everyone knew it wasn't permanent. It was an amazing comic, and they did a great job of getting the characters of the Avengers correct. Loved it. Here's an image that still sticks in my head.

Because the man she loves is dead.
The man she loves is dead........

I liked Blue Beetes Death because it makes sens that he would make through all these supervillans without dying, and he is killed by a gunshot. Personnaly I didn't think they should have killed him but they did it great. Personally I hated Superman dying becuse yyou just knew he had to coime bcack because there was no way they would kill off their main charcter in their sereis. But since now that Marvel has taken away their readerhip, they should kill him off and not bring him back, because for two reasosn. One. It would show that no characters are invincebale, and Two. DC would finnally give their readers something that they can believe in and never have to see that whiny pretty boy, who doesn;t deserve to be getting another movie,and who is the lamest superheor ever.

Daredevil 181: The death of Elektra and the incapacitation of Bullseye. Great comic even though death couldn't hold Elektra for too long..........

Etrigan
Everyone guessed that would be what happened...

It shocked me in Death Of Superman when Blue Beetle was smashed by Doomsday. I thought he was deaded for sure.

This scene has lost a bit of luster thanks to the big giant retcon machine that was Green Lantern Rebirth but it's still likely my favorite moment in comics much less favorite death.

1) Kevin in The Hard Goodbye that guy is freaky HE NEVER SCREAMS
2) Ben Reiley in Spiderman at the hands of the sinister Green Goblin it was very action packed
3) Cyclops/Scott Sommers in X men Essential that was also action packed and just when the X men thought they had won as well

There are so many, its hard to mention them all, but Supergirls death in the original crisis is rather memorable.

botcherby
When the hell did Cyclops die?

hes never died to my knowledge dammit!

Etrigan
Me neither...

Mr. Valentine
well...when he jumped into the way and was turned into apocylops or suming...bt they all thought he was dead bt he wasnt he was jst trapped inside apoc bt they found in in egypt and banished apoc

In the Ultimates I loved it when the Hulk was having trouble killing that one alien/german dude (I can't believe I don't remember his name). No matter what the Hulk did the guy just kept regenerating himself so the Hulk eats the guy. The on image that stands out is the hulk eating the guys head.That just figgin genius. Then they had to run test on the gamma active stool samples from the Hulk.

FOOM
I think Captain Marvel's Death was one of the most dramatic and well done departures in comics.

Arguably, the most important/significant death in comics was that of Ben Parker.

Deathstroke
The Joker snapping his own neck in Dark Knight Returns.

Swanky-Tuna
Solomon Grundy's death in Starman was pretty touching. Just as he hooks you as a lovable oaf he saves Jack Knight and co. from being crushed under a mall, says he's sorry for all his past incarnations' wrongdoings with a tear in his eye, then collapses under the wreckage. It's probably pretty cliche but it tugged at my heartstrings.
