The depiction of Death across the two graphic novels/comic book series; He's slightly Pratchett-esque in his characterisation, but otherwise veers between a rather terrifying, completely straight version of the Grim Reaper, and a domestic dim-bulb happily living in the suburbs with his wife and son. For all his dimness, however - including interpreting his wife's need to experiment with her career as wanting to experiment in the bedroom - he's an incredibly loving father and husband. Once aware of his wife's need to get out of the house and tackle a new career, the epilogue of the second series sees him offer her the newly free post of Chief Administrative Officer. Prior to this, he'd given the position to ex-Horseman of the Apocalypse, Bureaucracy, after he'd left the others to pursue a different career - purely out of the goodness of his heart.
The ending of Root of Evil. Upon being freed from Furi's captivity, Death informs DJ that he's going to be grounded for a month for causing the mess in the first place. Pandora immediately and loudly interjects, pointing out that DJ had just saved the world, convincing Death to shorten the grounding to two weeks. DJ's love letter to Pandora then slips out of his cloak, which Pandora promptly reads despite DJ's protests. She then sweetly kisses DJ on the side of his skull. Cue literal Jaw Drop.
