| When collecting comic books of character deaths (death of Superman, death of Wolverine, etc) what issue is the most valuable for you? The first or the last? For me it's the last because that's the issue that they die in. Anyway this is subjective and I started this topic just to get people's opinions for some fun discussion.  |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| I wouldn't mind having the first issue where Uncle Ben dies. Or Martha and Thomas Wayne. | ||

| I don’t understand the question...are you talking about characters with multiple deaths and which death you prefer....? Or are you talking first appearance vs. last appearance. Or are you just talking what is your favorite “character death” issue? I think my favorite was Batman 425-429. It was a real shocker at the time it came out...re-shaped Batman for years later. Far as I know there hasn’t been quite a death where the fans voted either...it was about that time I started really collecting comics so there’s some nostalgia there for me to. |

| The ones where an interesting character actually dies, and never returns in any way. In slab talk; a Death without quotation marks. Otherwise it isn't a Death issue so much as it is an Hiatus issue. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 I'm a big fan of the original Captain Marvel (as I've stated in other threads) and I really hated it when he died and I really hate that Marvel is trying to erase his existence but it was the best most poignant death I've ever read in comics. That makes it my favorite and least favorite at the same time. |

Is there no love for Ferro Lad, or the loss of one of Triplicate Girl’s bodies, which forced her to become Duo Damsel? |

| Even Krypton couldn't stay completely dead forever. But I think the original Alien Green Lantern dude stayed dead. The most haunting of death stories for me was X-men Days of Future Past which I read in like 7th grade. It stuck with me for some time. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Drogio Ok what I mean is -- and since you mentioned Batman a Death in the Family, let's use that as an example -- from issues 426 to 429, which one is the most valuable for you if you had to pick one? Is it 426 where it began, or the exact issue where Robin dies? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Red_Blade In this case, for me, it's the issue where the death occurs. Death of Captain Marvel and the issue of ASM where Aunt May died (she came back but that's an emotional issue nevertheless) are two of my "favorites" for death issues. It's weird saying I have a favorite death lol |
