The Sword and Laser discussion

I love Discworlds version of Death, he is my 2nd favorite version of the character after the Sandman version, then after that the Supernatural tv show version.

I do love the Supernatural version. Talk about a badass entrance: https://youtu.be/u1EzU9sLQ6I

Death on Family Guy is always fun: https://youtu.be/sasAcokbnVw

But probably my favorite is from Dead Like Me: https://youtu.be/cNHDFf1YLlc

In books:

The black rabbit from Watership Down was an interesting/disturbing version of Death.

I quite like Death from the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. Death: The High Cost of Living

I did read the sample from Scythe and put it on my TBR. That version looks cool.

Two of my favorites are A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore and On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. Both involve regular guys who accidentally become the personification of death.

I'll third her. She's my favourite. She is fun, friendly version of death.

I also liked Death from "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey"

I liked the reapers from the tv show Dead Like Me. I know they’re not quite the same but that show was pretty great. Mandy Patinkin, how can you go wrong?

I too am a fan of the Supernatural Death... and more recently (view spoiler)[ Billie the Reaper (hide spoiler)]

I also admit to some fondness for Death as shown in the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

I like all versions of Death that have a sense of humor.

So many good ones, just off the top of my head, Death from Sandman, Death from Discworld, and Death from Incarnations of Immortality (On A Pale Horse.) But topping them all is Death from Monty Python's Meaning of Life for me.

"The Salmon mousse..."

Ooh, I forgot the Python one. Good call!

I love death in "Death with Inturruptions" by Jose Saramago.

Thanos's girlfriend was death, at least in the comics:

Back then, Thonos assembled the Infinity Gauntlet to to kill half the universe as a gift for Death.

Hasn't the poor girl got enough work to do? :-?


;-)

There was a short-lived non-Starlin take on the Marvel Death where she chided Thanos for reducing the life available to take. That Death wanted life to thrive so she could harvest more. I immediately related to that idea, Death as the celebration of life at its inevitable end. Think I saw something along those lines before, or at least I'd reflected on that concept and don't think I would have come up with it on my own. Anyway, very different from the Starlin take, but I liked it a lot.

Deadpool dated her too...

YES! How could I forget Grim?

I like the East of West, Vol. 1: The Promise Death. A Western Gunslinger Death? Yeas, please!

Also, does Manny Calavera from the fantastic LucasArts adventure game "Grim Fandango" count?

Jan, if Manny doesn’t count, then what’s the point in life!

I love that scene so much.
