DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #14
A dark twist on a pivotal moment in Batman lore, "Ein Tod in der Familie - Kapitel 1 & 2" reimagines what might have been if Jason Todd had survived his fate in the original story. Written by Jim Starlin and Christian Heiß, with art by Jim Aparo and inks by Mike DeCarlo, this alternate take delivers a haunting, emotionally charged narrative anchored in the legacy of the Bat-family. The cover, also by Jim Aparo, captures the story’s brooding intensity.
In "Ein Tod in der Familie - Kapitel 1 & 2," Jason’s world unravels when he learns his stepmother was never his real mother—and his birth mother may still be alive. With the Joker loose and Batman tracking him across the Middle East, Jason’s personal quest for the truth collides with a dangerous mission that forces him to confront the past he never knew.
In "Ein Tod in der Familie - Kapitel 3 & 4," Jason’s desperate search for his mother leads him to Sheila Haywood—only to find her entangled with the Joker’s twisted plans. Trapped in a crumbling warehouse with time running out, Jason must confront both his mother’s betrayal and the Joker’s cruel game as dynamite countdowns and violence close in.
In a haunting alternate moment from a pivotal story, Jason survives a deadly confrontation, forcing a reckoning with the choices that shaped him. This brief, powerful scene—set in the shadow of a past tragedy—explores what might have been, with no resolution in sight.
