Over 30 years ago, history was made when fans voted to kill the second Robin, Jason Todd. Now, DC continues the alternate story of what would have happened if he had lived… Jason Todd, traumatized after The Joker’s near-fatal attack, struggles to step back into Robin’s shoes–while Batman questions the very need for a young partner by his side. Has Joker killed Robin after all? When tragedy strikes again in the form of the mind-bending Scarecrow, how do our heroes find their way back–especially with Copperhead on the loose and The Joker on the run?

What would have happened of Jason Todd had survived his encounter with the Joker? Find out in July!

Posted on by

In the recent “fauxsimile” edition of Batman #428, DC Comics featured an alternative ending in which Jason Todd survived his classic brutal encounter with The Joker, the shocking moment from “Death in the Family.” In an all-new story, we’ll see what happens after that encounter which he now survived.

On Wednesday, July 10, writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Rick Leonardi add an all-new chapter to this iconic story when From the DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! #1.

In the original “Death in the Family,” fans decided Jason Todd’s fate by calling a n 800 number and casting a vote. Originally, they voted Jason didn’t survive his encounter. In December 2023, DC printed an alternate ending in which Jason lived.

From the DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! #1 features a main cover by Rick Leonardi and a variant cover by Mike Mignola.

J.M Dematteis reveals the Osborn Family’s Darkest Secret in Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin

Posted on by

Writer J.M. DeMatteis, one of the most influential creators in Spider-Man history, returns next year to spin a new web of lies, secrets, and revenge in Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin! The mind behind groundbreaking Spidey tales like Kraven’s Last Hunt continues to add to his iconic legacy and the mythos of classic Spider-Man lore following retro stints like Ben Reilly: Spider-Man and Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt. This time, DeMatteis is paired with rising star artist Michael Sta. Maria for a story set during the beginning of Peter Parker’s adventures as Spider-Man. Still finding his footing as a super hero and dealing with grief over Uncle Ben’s death, Peter will find himself entangled in a dark drama involving his best friend’s family—the Osborns. The saga will revisit the now classic Spider-Man -1 and tie up a plot thread that’s been dangling since 1997 involving the tragic truth behind Norman Osborn’s research assistant Nels van Adder, the first test subject for the “Goblin formula” which transformed him into PROTO-GOBLIN!
