* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' has done away with ''many'' characters, most of them C-Listers who were created outside of Creator/{{Sega}}. Most of them were echidnas or connected in some way to Knuckles. Admittedly, these characters were those created by Creator/KenPenders and were vastly hated by others, including former co-writer Creator/KarlBollers and current head writer Creator/IanFlynn. While most were simply exterminated cold-bloodedly (in fact, most of the echidnas disappeared suddenly without a trace, again making Knuckles the LastOfHisKind), at least Tommy Turtle [[AlasPoorScrappy was given an honorable death]]. Infected by the [[AIIsACrapshoot evil AI]] A.D.A.M. in a last-ditch effort to restore the latter's powers, he flew in front of Dr. Eggman's Egg Fleet, and [[HeroicSacrifice got blasted to dust by a new laser weapon, killing himself and A.D.A.M. in the process]]. He ended up with several posthumous honors.

* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', this happens to any number of characters killed in their first appearance, mainly the first chapter.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'', the original Guardians of the Globe were killed off in their introductory issue. All of them, except the Immortal (two guesses as to what his powers are), have remained dead since. Kirkman hasn't been afraid to permanently kill off well-known characters, though, and dead means dead with him. After a new Guardians team was formed, the first member to die was Shrinking Ray, by far the one with the least screentime and characterization. ''Capes'', another Kirkman book, featured several deaths during its run -- most of them minor background employees who are lucky to be given names afterwards.
* The whole reason ''ComicBook/StarWarsPurge'' series exists is to have Darth Vader finish off minor Jedi who aren't supposed to survive until the time of the Original Trilogy.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers'': The Wreckers consists of a team made up primarily of C-listers (did you know who Ironfist was before this comic? How about Rotorstorm?) with a few A-list names like Springer and Perceptor, facing off a Decepticon team, also consisting of C-listers (The names Stalker or Snare ring any bells?). However, in spite of their C-list rating, the characters presented are actually given an amazing amount of characterization and personality, and the deaths among the Wreckers are always heartbreaking.
** This is actually a recurring trend of the Wreckers as a whole across the various publishers, and their Decepticon counterparts, the Mayhem Attack Squad. The Wreckers were originally created in the UK Marvel comics, from whatever characters hadn't been introduced in the US comics and therefore wouldn't be off-limits for storytelling--namely, the Deluxe Vehicles, the Autobot Triple Changers, the Jumpstarters, and a handful of {{Toyless Toyline Character}}s. As a result, when they appear, they often consist mostly of little-known C-listers with one or two A-listers in their ranks (most notably Springer for the Wreckers and Bludgeon for the Mayhems), and many, many of their stories involve numerous members of both teams dying in gruesome ways.
** ''ComicBook/TheTransformersPunishment'' story arc also uses this, mostly debuting a bunch of G1 characters into the comics to have them be victims of a serial killer, including a few minicons and headmasters (including autobot headmasters) reimagined into villains. Among them are a few recurring players in the IDW comics like Skram and Gutcruncher.
** In general, any G1-family character to not appear much in the cartoon will probably be this, bar a small handful of {{Breakout Character}}s like Bludgeon. The ''Stormbringer'' miniseries alone saw the deaths of most of the Decepticon Pretenders and Triggercons, of which a surprising number managed to [[UnexplainedRecovery show up later anyway.]]
