Psychopomp: Difference between revisions

** It is extremely important to note that none of her siblings call her "Death", only mortals do. Her actual function is to escort everyone into life and then escort them out. Her siblings simply call her "our elder Sister" (presumably since there is no mortal word for her true function/concept)

** In his afterword to the [[Vertigo Comics]] artists' showcase ''Death Gallery'', [[Neil Gaiman]] mentions the inspiration for this portrayal. A Kabbalistic teaching has it that when a person is about to die, the Angel of Death comes to him in the form of a woman so beautiful that his [[Even the Girls Want Her|or her]] soul leaves their body in ecstasy.

* Veitch and Edwards [[The Question]] miniseries featured a hitman named "Psychopomp", who specialized in not only killing his victims, but sending their souls to a specially-constructed personal hell.
