This is sometimes known as comic book continuity, but Corporate Necromancy is a more expressive word that deals with the bringing of characters back from the dead as a way of rebooting a comic book series to return things back to the status quo.
Manga, or Japanese comics, can also sometimes be accused of Corporate Necromancy when characters die and are brought back, such as with Dragonball and Dragonball Z.
A comics editor who is notorious for bringing commerically successful characters back from the dead in order to exploit their lives financially is called a Corporate Necromancer.

When someone revives old meme from death. It has to be at least memorable or back in the day famous meme, because without acknowledging that it was "alive" it can't be revived.
Oh I remember this old meme! It was 12 years ago really famous and somehow it's funny again. Do you do internet necromancy often?
