I imagine it’s a lot like stubbing your toe or stepping on a Lego.
Very unlikely to cause any significant damage, and a minor inconvenience at most… but still a bad enough experience that you never want to go through it again.
I’m guessing that it’s possible that they could carry over damage from whatever caused their death? If they were weak when they died (not in this case) or the damage was really massive (possible here) or just plain bad luck?
I also guess there is a slight possibility they stay dead, or take a long time to revive? To keep them from making it a party game, eh?
Even the vampire Suicide Master (Bakemonogatari) paid a price for death & reanimation & she’s insanely powerful.
Great page, I really like the last panel. Tend to think most forms of death, especially violent, are unpleasant. Have you read Farmer’s Riverworld series?
Fascinating series by one of the SF greats where everyone who ever lived on earth is reborn along a huge river which spirals around from the north to the south poles of the world. If you die again you come back along another section of the river. Two of the main protagonists are Sir Richard Burton and Samuel Clemens.
Back in color again.
An unusual amount of concern from someone who probably knows that death is ‘just a suggestion’ for them.
What I was trying to get across is that its still really unpleasant.

It’s probably more like stubbing your entire body on a Lego.

Yes ; just because they can’t technically die doesn’t mean they will be completely ok after death.
Well… good morning, otyher vampires.
Just a pity dying won’t stick for him. So, are you gonna go back and color in those last five strips, or not? Cause I thought that was in the plan.
No.
And that’s totally good. That small ark really deserved to be in B/W.
Well I don’t know … if it won’t stick, we only need to repeat it until he will regret it doesn’t stick, don’t we?
Back on the subject of Marah’s horns, guessing it now: they changed shape when she found a way to turn off her armor.

Huh. That sounds neat. I’ll add it to me read list. Thanks.
Some folks think it goes a bit wobbly in the later books, but To Your Scattered Bodies Go and The Fabulous Riverboat are absolute bangers
Dang it, I know they’re the enemy here, but their genuine bond is really cute
I love the visual effect of the first two panels! 😺
Tells the story with just a sigh.
Death usually is.
