No one is safe in this; the Joker makes that very clear in his introduction scene.
I didn’t know what to expect going into this, Snyder hit a homerun with the Court of the Owls storyline so I guess I expected him to stumble out of the gates with “Death of the Family” oh, how wrong I was.
The Positives
Right off the bat this story arc feels different; dark, brutal and unforgiving. No one is safe in this; the Joker makes that very clear in his introduction scene. Snyder and Capullo’s Joker remains true to the source material while at the same time modernizes the character to give him a little more edge (like the Joker needs that). We also get a secondary story in this issue as well which takes a look at Joker’s history with other characters in the Bat Universe, it all adds up to a fantastic start to a story arc and a must buy for all Batman fans.

The Negatives
No negatives, all smiles!

The Verdict
GO OUT AND BUY THIS NOW!
