He did dieUntil what? His “sacrifice”?
It is among the last batch of new comics I bought so the whole series was forever burned into memory. Money started getting tight at the time -you know, because of the 2009 crisis- and things at the time seemed to turn into less interesting stuff. Then they announced the new 52 and I took it as permission to jump off.
It occurs to me that the title character from Doctor Who has all the traits of a superhero despite the show being very much a non-superhero show. Think about it: The Doctor has a superpower (regeneration from mortal wounds, and limited shape-shifting and energy blasts connected with this regeneration), a secret identity (I'm pretty sure that even the show's writers don't know what the character's real name is), uses various super-science gadgets (The sonic screwdriver, the TARDIS, the chameleon arch, etc), has an arch-nemesis (The Master), and - like Superman - is a space alien who is nominally the last of their kind even though there are actually a whole bunch of them trapped in another dimension.
