Ed’s Winner for the Week:  Dealing with Death - Most of our shows featured characters facing or experiencing death. On Y, Hero and Sam were not able to help poor Kate survive her injuries. Yolanda on Stargirl was overcome by the reality that she killed Brainwave. Plus, members of both the Doom Patrol and Titans literally escaped the afterlife.
