-Pav, who wonders what books'll be affected...
Well.., yeah, it counts. Sure nobody in comics ever stays dead but my point was that this franchise in the past seven years (maybe longer I didn't check farther and everyone who died) characters have a habit of getting killed off. In the past seven years it's also been pretty excessive, made even more evident by Spiderverse where even different continuities didn't stop writers from killing off fan-favorite Spiders. And when a character dies even if there is a planned "resurrection" they are still off the table until the writer or another one comes in wanting to use them. Sure death is a stop-gap because nothing is permanent, but that's still an indeterminate amount of time before we see them again if at all. It took almost two decades to see Ben Reilly back in action, so the threat is real and makes some all the more fearful considering how much it's happened.
