Another big one when I was a kid was "Death In The Family" when they killed Jason Todd with a 900-number call-in vote. I was 11 and was shocked to no end that DC would kill a Robin. Were those events (published more than 25 years ago) any different than AVX or MARVEL NOW?

Their longevity seems international. But at the same time these powerful stories get reused, like take for example the recent batman movies. They draw from classic story arcs to make a new story, so...maybe?
