Is \'\'X-Men\'\' #100 really an example? #101 doesn\'t retcon anything, she was definitely about to die, and how she managed to survive becomes the driving force of the story for a while, until it eventually turns out \'\'it isn\'t even really her\'\'. (Although admittedly, that \'\'was\'\' a retcon.) \'\'Most\'\' cliffhangers that feature someone facing certain death are resolved by them not actually dying, because otherwise you run out of characters.
