Batman: A Death in the Family by Jim Starlin

dark

3.5

I can see that "A Death in the Family" is an important piece of work in the Batman storylines but reading it now feels dated. I enjoyed "A Lonely Place of Dying" much more.

Review to come. In short, although this was a turning point for the series, I can't recommend this collection.
