| Revival (Comic Book) | comment |
In Rothschild, Wisconsin, a small town surrounded by farms, people die sometimes. One day some of them come right back to life, just as if nothing had ever happened.Some people handle it better than others.Dana Cypress, a divorcee with a young son, is an officer in the Rothschild police department, and she's put in charge of policing the "Revivers," right as their existence is becoming national news. Now she gets to deal with the crimes that follow from the phenomenon, the media circus that erupts around it, and a series of increasingly violent murders committed by the revivers themselves.Revival is a "rural noir" comic book published by Image Comics, written by Tim (Hack/Slash) Seeley and drawn by Mike Norton. It ran for 47 issues, from 2012 to 2017, as well as one crossover issue with Chew. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Revival (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: The whole book is about death explored by multiple regular fatalities over the series. Some are only briefly introduced, but most have significant characterization before their deaths to increase the impact. All of the Revivals were dead as the series begins, of various causes. Several die again over the course of the series. They're all finished off in the final issue. | |

Human Resources | |
| Revival (Comic Book) / int_1ba09c9d | comment |
Human Resources: The miracle of the Revival creates an instant black market in reviver body parts for scientific and... other... purposes. Many citizens of the area dug up their dead relatives to sell as counterfeit reviver parts. This was common enough that one shipment filled an entire truck. The Check brothers are selling genuine reviver parts by hacking an unregistered reviver to pieces and allowing his healing factor to regrow him. | |

| Revival (Comic Book) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Dana takes a short field trip to New York City at one point, in an attempt to track down Anders Hine, who'd escaped the quarantine zone. When she finds him, he's decided to make money as an open buffet for experimental rich people, who hope to gain his immortality by eating his flesh. Unfortunately for them, the reviver's also poisoned the hell out of himself. | |

Death of the Hypotenuse: Technically how the love triangle between Aaron, Nethiya, and Em ended. Em got better. In the finale it's implied that Em broke it off with Aaron when she discovered he was going to help Lester with the revival ritual. Moreso, as a reviver Em's emotions would be repressed making a continuation of the affair unlikely. | |

Body Horror: The revivers get a very strong healing factor and greater than normal strength, which restores them to health and awareness without changing anything about their physical appearance. Arlene Dittman is shown ripping out her own teeth because they keep growing back and interfering with her dentures. The junkie used by the Check brothers is kept strung out on drugs while he's slowly vivisected and allowed to regenerate. Jordan Borchardt slices off her own eyelids to better experience the afterlife. Rhodey Rasch has become the star of his own series of extreme sports videos, going viral by virtue of his inability to die from failed stunts. He also has a pay-per-view website devoted to gruesome self-harm. | |

Her daughter Atlee thinks she's a superhero. Louise Cale is a fierce military administrator who also evenly matched a ninja assassin hand-to-hand. No word on what her son Jacob thinks. | |

Joe Myers is still in love with his first girlfriend though he married another woman. Ibrahim may have had a relationship with his sister-in-law Ami while his brother was in prison. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: The revivers are universally emotionally detached. Their families are left with an echo of the person they were, a constant reminder that makes it impossible to grieve and move on. Revivers can feel no joy or accomplishment for themselves which leaves their existence a hollow mockery of life. At one point, Em experiences a dream of a world in which nobody dies. The universe ends up completely packed wall-to-wall with bodies unable to do anything. | |
