* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' dragged Creator/ChristopherPriestComics' corpse into Limbo in [[SelfDeprecation Priest's final issue]], having apparently [[KilledOffscreen murdered him off-panel]] for "disfiguring him" (making him look like Creator/TomCruise). All the characters present complain about it at first, but eventually are fine with it.


Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'': In the tie-in for ''ComicBook/WarOfTheGods'', the Creator/GrantMorrison self-insert from ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' came back, explaining that writing themselves into continuity made it so other writers could write them, too (in this case, Creator/JohnOstrander). The Writer (as the character is referred to InUniverse) was sent into battle with a new Suicide Squad strike team to help take down Circe, but was killed due to ending up with writer's block right before being attacked by a monster. [[FridgeLogic Did Morrison and Ostrander have some bad blood, or something?]]

* ''Film/KungFuJungle'' stars Creator/DonnieYen in a lead role, and Creator/LouisFan, Donnie's long-time collaborator (who appeared in major roles in the ''Film/IpManFilmSeries'') as a fellow kung-fu practitioner brutally killed by the BigBad.
