The former was its own continuity of superheroes and was a bloody and violent tale the Comics Code Authority did not approve - but was also really good and is I think the best selling graphic novel of all time, and in the second as the climax to DC's mega-crossover they killed Supergirl. Yes that Supergirl. And she stayed dead until 2004.Twenty years ago it used to be said that "No one in comics stays dead except Bucky, Uncle Ben, and Jason Todd". Bucky of course being the Winter Soldier who came back in the comics in 2005. Batman readers voted for the then Robin Jason Todd's death in 1988 - and he came back in 2006. And Jean Grey's died often enough that they make jokes about it in canon.</blockquote>
