User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/Michael or Death, who's stronger?/@comment-3045936-20120428202152

Outside of the series, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke has stated in Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 5 that Death is more powerful than Michael. From http://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-The-Official-Companion-Season/dp/1845765354, This official companion is packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind the scenes secrets, a complete episode guide, plus a color portrait gallery of the stars. One of the behind scene secrets is with about Death and why Eric made him state he can reap God. I cannot remember the quote word for word as I cannot find it on the net and lost the book but this kind of what he said. "Whether or not the Horsemen of Death can truly reap God or that one day God will die is unknown to even me. I decided that it was something worth stating and I firmly believe that at least Death believes it to be true. Also, this showcases his powers being so superior to... well all all beings shown so far. Stronger than Ghosts, Monsters, Reapers, Demons, Pagan gods, Cherubs, Angels, even the Archangels.
