JASON TODD LIVES! WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE FALLEN ROBIN? In 1988, DC fans made a seminal choice in the history of DC publishing — voting to kill off Jason Todd’s Robin in the Death in the Family storyline. Now, for the first time, we want to find out what would have happened if fans had voted to let him live. And it begins — with the murder of The Joker!

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

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.
