Oh, I think you DEFINITELY should post a list of comic book characters that should die. I'd love to see that.
And speaking of your list of characters that died and stayed dead, it's really beginning to bug me that FINAL CRISIS and all of it's crossover books brought back SO MANY dead superheroes - - Barry Allen, Conner Kent, Bart Allen. Sure, they killed the Martian Manhunter and then "killed" Batman, showing Superman holding his corpse in a huge panel and then, three pages later, showing Bruce Wayne writing on a cave at the beginning of time. WTF?!?!?
The thing I liked most about CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS was that Barry Allen and the first Supergirl STAYED DEAD. Well, I guess 1 out of 2 ain't bad. :)

One could argue that some of those characters you named didn't actually stay dead:
ReplyDeleteSupergirl is back.
Thunderbird, in some form, is back.
Artemis in WONDER WOMAN is just an updated version of Orana.
Whatever happened to Wonder Woman's black sister the one made from the Brown clay? Has she been dropped from continuity too?
ReplyDeleteAnd your Asian Psylocke is back too!! LOL! Sigh...I do miss the British one though...ah well.
She's not mentioned in this DC universe. There was a different version called, Nu'bia but nothing really happened with her
ReplyDeleteDidn't banshee die when mystique slit his throat or did I miss a resurrection?
