In essence, he's dead in one reality and not dead in another. In my headcanon, Chrysalis is dead in one and out destroying kingdoms to her heart's content in another (even if she'd prefer Equestria she's not so much as imprisoned now) which is uncharacteristically dark for MLP, every main villain of the show and of G1 is either killed, imprisoned, or reformed. This was definitely Chrysalis's final comic appearance so they can't even use the "want to see more Chrysalis" excuse

Ironic in that the same comic that had Chrysalis get off scot free is also the first Sombra comic to have a light ending, given his backstory and that that Sombra isn't so bad (in the show he licked his lips when he was about to impale a baby dragon who was just in the way, but in the comics he couldn't bring himself to murder one who had knowingly caused him pain) I wanted him to reform there, and was actually surprised when Hope saved him from dying a second time

Referring back to the Reflections comic where the good Sombra is forced to turn evil to save the day. Imprisoning the evil Celestia and Luna in crystal would have been the perfect ending, they'd be defeated without harming Celestia and Luna, and that Sombra would stay good
