I just did a peice about the Captain America rebirth, and my main question was about how comic book writers can make a death meaningful when it's universally recognized as being temporary, but I was focusing on how to give said death a literary meaning for the audiance. I thought Brubaker's handling of that challenge was interesting, but he did rely almost entirely on the way Cap's death affected his peers and the other denizens of the marvel universe, and really, would death mean anything more to them than it does to us, the readers?
