Comic Book Death has been renamed Death Is Cheap to make it more clear that the trope refers to how superhero comics have a tendency to resurrect characters after killing them off.


* Marvel Comics' ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'', a book about a group of six characters from alternate universes who are pulled into MORE alternate universes to save them from being "broken" and thus eventually return home, is known for being quite lacking in Comic Book Death, especially for a series with all these alternate universes running around. This is established in the very second issue, where Magnus (son of Magneto and Rogue) dies in a HeroicSacrifice.

* This is also a major selling point of the Franchise/SpiderMan storyline ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''. Dan Slott has said that he cannot vouch for anyone's safety in the storyline. How does he prove it? [[spoiler:He has Morlun kill ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends''!]]

* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' has a high death rate for major and minor characters. Not only do The Comedian and Rorschach die, but many secondary characters die as a result of Ozymandias' fake alien attack on New York, showing that no characters are safe.

* True to its [[TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}} source material,]] in ''ComicBook/{{Paranoia}}'' anyone can -- and will -- die, often repeatedly. This is demonstrated with the main character, who dies at the end of each issue.
