A supriseingly good example of comic character with a life threatening illlness is Deadpool.
Sure he's a silly character but that is one of his serious points. He always loses his attitude whenever it comes up. He knows what its like to suffer so much that all you want is to die and be released from the horror that your body has become. Plus his mother died at an early age from cancer as well though that isn't touched on that much due to Wade's weird backstory issues.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
