Death of the family is the third book in the Batman new 52 series. If you're a die-hard joker fan this one is for you. There is a lot of homage to the Joker in this comic, with a lot of lead-up to the finale. I had a lot of fun reading this one. I do think the joker can get a little corny, especially with dialog but I know that is also part of the charm. These books are beautifully illustrated and this one is very fun to look at. This comic is creepy and fairly brutal, so be prepared for that. There are some pretty epic body horror and psychological twists at work. There are a lot of good characters and cameos in this book, you will see the whole bat family, fan favorites such as commissioner Gordan, and many more. If you know anything about me, I love horror and this definitely itched a scratch in my brain that I had for some creepy batman content. I think I can also credit this to the co-writer, James Tynion IV, who wrote my favorite comic book series "Something is Killing the Children," and the spin-off series "House of Slaughter." Be ready for reviews on those also.
One of my biggest qualms with this series and a lot of comics in general is I have no idea what to read after. I read somewhere that the next in the series is "Year Zero," but I am unsure. After scrolling a few Reddit forums I found that people had different opinions on which books to read next and controversy about what order to read them. some of these books are from completely different series and whatnot, I find this to be very confusing. If someone knows what to read next or could even explain to me how the order of reading comic books works, I'd super appreciate it. I am always looking for good resources. Again if you read this comic or want to read it, let me know! I'd love to know what you think.
