No worries Xben, after all mine was a late edit

Mark Shaw?

And that's it! You're up, IB. Thanks for playing. (And you, Thoth Lad).

Thanks for the fun question too, Xben! I really enjoyed that, and your helpful hints were very helpful indeed.

Interesting list of characters too.

Okay, let's see...

I can only remember two comic books that have made me cry. Which ones?

1) Crisis on Infinite Earths 7 (death of Supergirl)
2) Legion Lost 11 (death of Monstress)
3) Identity Crisis 1 (death of Sue Dibny)
4) Crisis on Infinite Earths 8 (death of Barry Allen)
5) Legion of Super-Heroes v4 83 (death of Leviathan)
6) Adventure Comics 304 (death of Lightning Lad)
7) Superman v2 75 (death of Superman)
8) LSH v4 5 (death of Karate Kid)
9) Legion Lost 12 (death of Live Wire)
10) Justice League Europe 35 (death of Silver Sorceress)
11) JLTF 14 (death of Ice)
12) Green Lantern v3 50 (death of Kilowog)

1) Crisis on Infinite Earths 7 (death of Supergirl)
10) Justice League Europe 35 (death of Silver Sorceress)

Not the correct combination. Silver Sorceress' death didn't make me cry; it was sad, but she hadn't really been that well-developed in the comics.

1) & 11) - Not Crisis 12 for the death of you know who?

I became a fan of Kole after a few rereads, by then the shock of her death was gone and replaced by a bittersweet feeling of dread

1 and 11 not correct combination. Ice's death was poorly done IMO and the buildup included her inexplicably turning on her friends and becoming a killer...
