Batman readers were allowed to vote on the outcome of the story and
they decided that Robin should die! As the second person to assume
the role of Batman's sidekick, Jason Todd had a completely
different personality than the original Robin. Rash and prone to
ignore Batman's instructions, Jason was always quick to act without
regard to consequences. In this fatal instance, Robin ignores his
mentor's warnings when he attempts to take on the Joker by himself
and pays the ultimate price. Driven by anger with Superman by his
side, Batman seeks his vengeance as he looks to end the Joker's
threat forever.
Death comes to us all. In 1988 the pop culture world was rocked
when comics readers were given the opportunity to decide the
outcome of one of the medium s most controversial quandaries:
Should the Boy Wonder die? When Jason Todd s impulsive nature
clashes with the Dark Knight s methodical approach to
crime-fighting yet again, Jason takes off on his own in search of
his birth mother. Meanwhile, Batman s latest case leads him to the
Middle East, hot on the trail of the Joker, whois brokering the
sale of a nuclear device to terrorists! Realizing that they must
work together to prevent a global disaster and find Jason s
long-lost mother, Batman and Robin reunite in time to thwart the
Clown Prince of Crime. However, this setback sets in motion a far
more sinister plot that ultimately leads to betrayal and a deadly
date with a crowbar... The decision to kill off the second Robin
drew polarized opinions from fans and critics and remains one of
the most controversial story arcs in the history of the Caped
Crusader. Would the Dark Knight slip into the darkness of the abyss
without a Boy Wonder to hold him back? And would fans ever accept
another wayward youth stepping into the role of Robin? The answers
lie in Batman: A Death in the Family The Deluxe Edition, which
collects the original Death in the Family tale from Batman #426-429
plus A Lonely Place of Dying from Batman #440-442 and The New
Titans #60-61, which introduced the third Robin, Tim Drake. This
edition also features a brand-new introduction from former DC
Comics editor Scott Peterson that delves into the history of this
epic story line, as well as the never-before-printed alternate
pages from Batman #428 that show what would happen if the Boy
Wonder had lived!

After Adam Warlock's return in "Infinity Gauntlet", his worse half
the Magus wasn't far behind! The struggle for ultimate power over

Fantastic Four, Avengers, X-Men, New Warriors, Alpha Flight and
more! Will the universe be saved, destroyed...or both? This title
collects "Infinity War", numbered 1-6, "Warlock and the Infinity
Watch", numbered 7-10 and "Marvel Comics Presents", numbered
108-111.
It's the Avengers, the New Warriors, the X-Men and more against the omnipotent eternal, Thanos!
The Mad Titan has become the most powerful being in the universe, and enslavement or destruction may be the only choices he gives it.
The successive Jim Starlin sagas that shook space and time start here, as this volume collects Infinity Gauntlet #1-6!
At '70s Marvel, no one mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of cosmic adventure like Jim Starlin And his work on Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle that is considered a high-water mark to this day. Starlin evolved Warlock to the next level, imbuing the character with the inner demons of a man-god on the brink of insanity. Forced to confront an evil version of himself and the nihilisti c menace Thanos, Warlock's conflicts weren't just knuckle-grinding throw-downs; they were epic, existenti al struggles for his very soul. Featuring the fi rst-ever assembling of the Infinity Gems.COLLECTING Strange Tales 178-181, Warlock 9-15, Avengers Annual 7, Marvel Two-In-One Annual 2
