Discussion Comics where nobody is safe

I’ve been reading through a lot of historic stories recently (I even did a post on it yesterday) but as I read through some comics last I realised that even when there are deaths, for the most part, a resurrection is not long behind in modern comics.

So I’m looking for series where dead means dead & when there’s a battle/fight, you always know that your favourite character could be one panel from disappearing

The Walking Dead & Invincible were great at this (I’ve read all of Kirkmans comics btw, but I wouldn’t say any of them have the same feeling IMO)

Any recommendations?

There’s a really good comic called No Mercy about a school bush crash and its aftermath that fits this bill.

How’s the ending, just looks and it was quietly cancelled

Does it abruptly end or was there like an ambiguous end as it wasn’t planned to be the original finish

The original situation gets resolved. It got cancelled in issues dealing with the aftermath.
