@SyIar: Nope. Warren Worthington is dead. The Life Seed merely used his body as an avatar to grow new life from.
Although, it'll probably be retconned in a few years so that it was Warren all along with amnesia or some bullcrap, but for the mean time, we can all bask in a Shakespearean-esque tragedy.
IDK... I feel like Marvel handles death very poorly when it comes to continuity. As soon as we lose Steve we get Bucky... Jean dies 10 times and we get like 3 exact replicas of her... as soon as we lose Nightcrawler, we get dark AOA Nightcrawler... and then theres Warren who's not Warren, but will be pretty soon.
Lori Grimes's death, along with her newborn baby. (THE WALKING DEAD)
I never liked her anyway.....
You have no heart.
Why cause I disliked a character ? (I'm talking about Lori by the way not the baby)
Comic Lori was a good character who kept Rick grounded and tried her hardest to protect him. I'm not sure if you read the comics, but he tends to be sort of suicidal and does a lot of stupid things that get people killed. Lori was his anchor (as corny as that sounds). She was great.

TV Lori however, is a total bitch.
I read the comics and I thought she was a total bitch from the beginning,I always felt Rick deserved better.
My favourite death scene in comics is most definitely that of Aunt May in Amazing Spider-Man #400. Sure, it's been retconned and ruined, but it is a highly emotional comic, perfectly executed by J.M. DeMatteis. I find it impossible to read the comic and not be moved. Aunt May died because of old age, because of her body giving up, instead of a super-villain, and that is what made the death so perfect. It wasn't a death where Peter could blame himself afterwards, so that the dramatic tension could be thick, but instead he just had to face her natural death, losing the woman who was like a mother to him.
Man, I wish it had never been retconned... it was so pitch-perfect.
This actual moment didn't do much for me, but the last page of that issue, where it juxtaposed Colossus' first dialogue from Giant-Sized X-Men #1, that really connected with me. It underscored what had just happened, and made it seem ever so sad. That being said, I liked when he came back, but that last page... incredibly impactful. Although the X-Men issue that followed it with Kitty Pryde bringing his ashes back to Russia... hoo-boy, that was a dusty issue which brought a tear to my eye...
So what if he came back shortly? The man placed himself before the city and it's citizens. That's the way a her, o should die. Superman's death was the most tragic and heroic.
This one will forever stick with me, because it is the moment I truly saw Superman as as ''Hero." Before he seemed so unbeatable. How can you be heroic if you can't be killed/beaten anyway? But he could die and he did just that. As a hero.
@AdamChapman: I'm with ya, but I didn't want to blow the page up with three or four scans. Which issue has Kitty spreading his ashes? I don't think I've ever seen it in the Uncanny comics, but she mentions it to him in astonishing.
Supergirl in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Jean Grey's first "death"...before the retcon.
And Gwen Stacey
Oh, and perhaps not deserving of "greatest death": but Stature's death in Children's Crusade #8/#9 made me very sad. Just seemed utterly heartless that Cassie was reunited with her dad, only for her to die moments later.
Edit: After reading entirety of thread: I'm going to stick with my first choice, but also remembered Janet Van Dyne's/Pym's death Secret Invasion....*sigh*
@Rickbarry: It was in X-Men #110, still one of my favourite Kitty Pryde stories. Scott Lobdell wrote the issue, and it was illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu.
@Blood1991: I agree it was a very epic moment, too bad Marvel had to strip the moment of its power by making that Mockingbird a Skrull. I really feel like they've misused her since she's been back, especially now that they've shoved Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) and Hawkeye together.
