Not necessarily but as long as the problems of immortality are dealt with. Think of say Dorian Grey or the Melmoth the Wanderer or the immortal people in Gulliver's Travels or even the elves of Tolkien. Immortality can be written well but it needs to be addressed as such. Most comic books just gloss over it and the fact that their characters live forever.
