I think the Joker has "died" more times (going back to his very first appearence in the 30/40s) than John Crichton and Darla combined, even if you aren't counting AUs.
That's truly impressive.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

It?s like fans get really, really upset when a character gets killed, and I?m like, have you ever read a comic before? Your survival rate, if you die in a comic, is like 99.9 percent!
Moreso in Marvel than in DC, or at least that used to be the case.
I remember for a while in the 80's, the only character Marvel killed and kept dead was Guardian. A Canadian.

Didn't they eventually do a story where James Hudson did return, in EXACTLY the same manner as the extremely cheesy ruse Delphine Courtney used to get back at Heather?

I thought they killed the original Captain Marvel before that from cancer, and he hasn't returned.

Ple & Amych, poor Devin sounds beleaguered by stupid fans. You should drop her an email letting her know how #93 rocked your world.
I've spent the last six weeks trying to write one that doesn't sound like "FLAIL! GAH! MARRY ME!"
It's harder than it seems.
Unless you're Larry the Lobster...err...Jason Todd.
But Jason's still aroundish. I mean, when Batfam members are hallucinating, they tend to see him (see: Nightwing), and there was that Young Justice where he got killed again...
