Dying Dream: Difference between revisions

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* ''[[The Invisibles]]'' has an issue called "Best Man Fall," which tells a man's life story in a fragmented, stream-of-consciousness structure. Only at the end of the story does the reader discover that the protagonist is an [[Mooks|enemy soldier who is shot in the face by the hero]] in the first issue, and that everything we have seen is him having a flashback in the seconds before he dies.

* The second-to-last arc of Adam Warren's run on ''[[Gen 13]]'' appears to be a [[Breather Episode]] after the [[Cliff Hanger]] ending of their last storyline (which was resolved off-screen). However, as more and more examples of "[[All Just a Dream|dream logic]]" appear, heroine Caitlin Fairchild eventually realizes that she's retreated to a fantasy version of her life in the last few microseconds before the [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] from the aforementioned cliffhanger vaporizes her and her friends, [[Dying to Be Replaced|making way for]] [[Chris Claremont]]'s [[Dork Age|short-lived]] [[revamp]] of the series.

* This was the original ending for DC Comic's short-lived ''Kinetic'' series, where a hemophiliac gains superpowers after being hit by a truck. The original ending was, described by the writer in a Wizard Magazine article later as, a [[Downer Ending]] because the original idea was the boy was killed by being hit by the truck and the whole series was his Dying Dream.
