Deaths with ImpactLet's face it, comic book readers — death in the fantastical world of superhero comic books is somewhat akin to real world jury duty.
It's certainly annoying and inconvenient, and something everybody is eventually called to do (sometimes even more than once). But it's temporary at best — resulting in only minor upheaval of your life — and sooner or later after the service has been performed you're released and things are back to normal before you know it.Quite often, the writing is on the wall for superheroes and their loved ones - after all, they are literally placing themselves in mortal danger on a regular basis. Marvel’s entire next event starts with a death - the death of Uatu the Watcher, a being who knows all of the universe’s secrets. Meanwhile, over on the DC side of things, the future of Nightwing is anything but certain in the pages of Forever Evil. Of course, other members of the Bat-Family have died and come back, so it wouldn't be too big a deal if Grayson took a probably-temporary dirt nap.Still, once every blue area of the moon, whether you perceive a return to the mortal plane is in the offing or not, a comic book death sticks with you. These are instances that can define a character, an era, or even become a pop-cultural touchstone. Here is our countdown of 10 Comic Books Deaths That (Mostly) Still Matter.
