Can't Choose Your Relatives

We got snow where I live this week.  This comic was entirely justified. 

So for the fourth and final Deities of Death comic of the year, we have the Norse goddess Hel (no sophomoric jokes about her name, please), joined by her dad (Loki), her brothers Jormungand and Fenris, and Odin, Thor, and Tyr.  I always thought it was kind of convenient that Loki just happened to have a half-skeleton daughter, and the underworld just happened to need a ruler. 

Wait.  I left this on far too depressing a note.  This needs to be remedied. 

Much better. 


Happy Halloween!

Here we have Thanatos, Greek god of death, and his brother Hypnos, Greek god of sleep.  In cases like this, this probably works to Thanatos' advantage. 

...Wait a minute.  It all makes sense now!  This is what caused the zombie apocalypse!


Oops.

Perchance to Dream

...And if you keep the Grim Reaper distracted for long enough, he might forget to take who he came for when he leaves. 

Hmm...  The Grim Reaper:  patron of the arts.  Who knew?
Anyhow, all's well that ends well. 

Single File

As you might have gathered, it's now October, which means that the Deities of Death have returned!  Today we have Hades (along with Persephone) and Charon, the long-suffering ferryman of the underworld. 
At least he gets paid.  It's more than most of the other deities can say.
