No One Stays Dead in Comic Books
|
What is dead may never die, but rises again when the writers need to add a plot twist. They used to say "no one stays dead in comics except Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben," but between Soviet super-assassination programs, reality-rewriting Crises in the DC Universe, and alternate-reality-Spidermen, even that's not true. Join our heroes as they lead their lives and afterlives, fighting evil and finding themselves.
