Great stuff
I'm definitely a casual reader of The Batman series. Only have a few titles under my belt but I do enjoy them when I can. Death in the Family is a great read. It is a book of it's time what with the characters taking trips to Beirute and coming across Ayatollah Sayyid ( I think it's him, my 80's political knowledge is poor at best) and the plot is a little far fetched. With the recent films it's easy to forget it is based on a comic book and Batman doesn't have to be like the movie Heat all the time. Would recommend this title to the casual fan like myself or the hard-core fans (but they've no doubt read this already!). Enjoy.

2nd robin dead!
Well I was interested as I am only new to the world of batman I wanted to know how the 2nd Robin Jason Todd died, I like this novel as it not only shows you how Jason Todd died it shows you the actual add with telephone numbers that were used to vote to kill off Jason Todd. Then it was the start of Tim Drake's 3rd Robin fantastic novel. Only complaint I have is it shows you what would the end be if the public voted to save the 2nd Robin! By far 1 of the best batman graphic novels I own and have read

A must...
The Joker ambassador of Iran... One's gotta love this... The story is complex, tough, complex.. It is completed with the recruitment of the new Robin... The art is old school. I really enjoyed this and i recommend it to any fan out there...

Really engaging story seeing Batman grieve and where it takes him
This is a really engaging story that shows new sides of Barman as he deals with grief and the realisation that he needs a Robin. The imagery in the story was great and it flowed well moving from the Joker to TwoFace.

So the seller was great when came to delivery 🚚 of the paperback. And “Batman Death in the Family “is a great read. And anyone who likes Batman and DC comics, or might want a graphic novel with a good story. Then this could be for you. Plus if you “Batman Under the Red Hood “ which is the sequel to “Death in the Family “ . So a must have for comic book readers, or someone who loves graphic novels.
