After reading this issue, I believe that Death of the Family isn't about the Joker proving his devotion to Bats, it's about validating his place in Gotham The year prior to Joker's return, Batman was fighting the Court of Owls If any of you listen to Kevin Smith's Fatman on Batman podcast (a great and[...]

Batman And Robin issue 14 revealed that both it, and issue 13 to some degree, were part of the Death Of The Family storyline, even if the book only gets a die cut cover and a cover notice with issue 15. Today, two other books reveal themselves as strong Death Of The Family tie-ins, though you[...]

And yes, it's one of the Joker die cut covers as Batman: Death of The Family And the Joker getting all penile-obsessed over the dead body of Deadshot. It's an odd comic, certainly, and only the second comic out this week with a humanoid shark in it. Okay, it's no Walking Dead #1 But give it[...]
