A different personification of Death appears in The Sandman, a series of comic books written by Neil Gaiman, in which Death, one of the Endless, appears in the guise of a Goth girl wearing an Ankh around her neck, to symbolize the idea that life and death are two sides of the same reality. Gaiman's Death is cheerful and supportive, perhaps not only as a way of playing with audience expectations, but also to demistify death itself, which is seen as a moment of passage rather than a real ending.

Irregular Webcomic! has Death as a unifying "theme", or set of characters. Each very specific manner of death has an assigned Death, some of whom are not very busy. Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs, Death of Choking On A Giant Frog, Head Death, and Death of Being Ground By A Mars Rover Rock Abrasion Tool are some mentioned.

Jack has the main character, Jack, become a Grim Reaper in the form of the sin Wrath as punishment for his own sin. 

Smax also features multiple Deaths handling different circumstances. "Lionel" handles chess games with peasants (and looks like the death in The Seventh Seal) and "Dennis", a large imposing character, handles "awesome, terrible death". 

Liberty Meadows includes a Death that looks like the one from Seventh Seal. Frank (the main character) has drowned but is resuscitated by a frog. While in the underworld, Frank escapes by making Death "look". Death hounds him later, expecting a razor cut to kill him. 

Marvel Universe In the Marvel Universe, Death is a robed skeleton, and referred to as female. She is often courted by Thanos of Titan who hopes to win her love by destroying the universe. 

There is also a human supervillain, the Grim Reaper, that has fought Vision and Scarlet Witch on different occasions. 

Death Jr. In this comic based on the Sony PSP game Death Jr., you get to see many images of Death as well as his son, Death Jr., who the comic is centered around. 

Dragon Ball This series of manga and anime features Death in the form of Enma Daiou. As the human race is nearly exterminated on at least three occasions and humans subsequently regain their lives, Enma Daiou is swamped with billions of restless souls whose (temporary) fate he must decide. Enma is also mentioned in the manga/anime YuYu Hakusho, usually by his son, Koenma. One of Koenma's agents, Botan, claims the title of the Grim Reaper for herself quite whimsically. 

Saint Seiya : This series includes Thanathos as one of the twin guardians of the body of Hades. 

Deathnote : This series is about Light Yagami, who finds a death note which fell from the Shinigami (God of Death) world. This Deathnote allows him to control who dies, how, and when. When the note is bound to him, the note's original Shinigami owner appears to him. 

Bleach : This series follows Shinigami, who are samurai-like grim reapers. Their function is to guide the souls trapped in the human world to the Soul Society, or in some cases, hell.
