Death: The High Cost of Living by Neil Gaiman

You've got to admit that Death, as personified in this series, is pretty hot.

Gaiman toppled the traditional image of death as a hooded man in black carrying a menacing scythe in his creation of Death (see picture on left). For starters, she is always smiling.

Can you beat that?

And she has a genuine empathy for people, going about her work with a cheerful mercy.

Every century, Death gets to be mortal for one day so she can better understand human beings. This issue is the one day.
