Death In Superhero Comics
Death is a fact of life, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. No matter the connection, family, friend, co-worker, the loss of someone from your life has an impact. The same can be said for fictional characters. When we invest our time into reading a book series or watching a long running television show, we become attached to the characters we're following. And when one, or more, of those characters die, it can also leave us feeling devastated. Of course, because these are fictional characters, their passing doesn't have the same weight as losing someone you know, but their passing should have SOME impact, right?
Comic books have been known for killing off beloved characters and no other genre is more notorious for this than superhero comics. It doesn't matter if the death is for dramatic effect, almost all superheroes and villains return from the dead. What is the point, then? Why should we care when a character bites it in our favorite comic book? Is it all a part of some cosmic plan crafted by publishers or Is Death Meaningless In Superhero Comics?
