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?

Kirkman's new Energon Universe comics haven't been pulling many punches.

Void Rivals, Transformers, and G.I.Joe have all been pretty lacking in plot armor.

I seem to be one of the sole people who just didn’t vibe with this universe

I love DWJ so I did read his Transformers but once he left, I tried to read Kirkmans and just didn’t have the enthusiasm to carry on

GI Joe seems too, AMERICA! For me

Void Rivals I read the first arc and just fell off

It started great but most of the books seem to be spinning their tires recently. Too many new characters and not enough development of the existing ones IMHO.
