Notes[]
General[]
- Only deaths that are unique will be counted, any deaths mentioned that happened in earlier comics will be ignored.
Issue #2[]
- The death of Gianni Versace is mentioned, but as he was a real person and it was not shown or fictionalized in any way, this will not be counted.
Issue #6[]
- Rhino destroys a restaurant, but there's no way to tell how many, if any, were killed.
