Jason Todd Lives! ‘DEATH IN THE FAMILY: ROBIN LIVES!’ Announced
"In 1988, DC raised the revolutionary idea to let fans decide the fate of then-Robin Jason Todd by calling a 1-800 number and casting a vote," reads DC's official announcement. "Originally, fans decided that Jason would pay the ultimate price at the hands of The Joker, but a new facsimile of the original Batman #428 was released in December of 2023, featuring an alternate ending in which Jason lives. Now, for the first time, readers will witness his plans for revenge against the Clown Prince of Crime."
In a groundbreaking move, DC Comics announced the launch of a 4-issue comic miniseries titled 'Death in the Family: Robin Lives!'
Hellboy's Mike Mignola returns to do a variant cover for issue 1. Mignola originally did the covers for Batman: Death in the Family.
The miniseries, set to debut in July, promises to explore an alternate reality where Robin, the beloved sidekick of the Dark Knight, escapes the clutches of death at the hands of the infamous Joker.
Written by the acclaimed J.M. DeMatteis and brought to life through the stunning artwork of Rick Leonardi, 'Death in the Family: Robin Lives!' offers a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic moments in comic book history.

Freed from the constraints of his tragic demise, Robin grapples with a newfound sense of purpose and identity as he navigates the perilous streets of Gotham City.
Prepare to witness the ultimate resurrection as Robin defies fate and embarks on a quest for redemption in 'Death in the Family: Robin Lives!' This is not just a comic miniseries; it's a bold reimagining of one of the most iconic stories in comic book history—a testament to the enduring power of hope, heroism, and the undying spirit of the Boy Wonder.
