Originally an action game by [[Creator/DigitalEclipse Backbone Entertainment]] released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable, ''Death Jr.'' was intended to branch out into its own massive, media-branching franchise, with the first adaptation being a graphic novel written by Gary Whitta, and illustrated by Ted Naifeh. While the video game received mixed reviews (the general consensus is that it delivers in the action department, but doesn't really take advantage of its universe to convey an interesting plot), the graphic novel was very well-reviewed, boggling to those people who barely even knew the game exists. Both the game and graphic novels received sequels, many an arguable improvement from their predecessors, although they didn't come close to pushing the series into the mass-franchise the creators had hoped. Perhaps out of realization that the PSP wasn't a big success, the series abandoned its original exclusive deals with Creator/{{Sony}}, and began to appear on Creator/{{Nintendo}} platforms. Unfortunately, when Backbone Entertainment was bought by [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]] soon afterward, it seemed to force the franchise into limbo, but hopefully not forever.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Root of Evil'' is much more forgiving than the first game, replacing the lives with a fairly forgiving checkpoint system among other quality of life improvements. The Wii port makes things even easier by featuring motion-controlled aiming.
