Batman, Volume 3: Death of the Family
by Scott Snyder
The New 52 Batman continues to be absolutely addictive. After a fair bit of time out of the story, Joker is finally back with a master plan to destroy Batman and his family. Of course, a master plan from Joker means organized chaos to extreme amounts, and that pretty much describes this graphic novel as a whole. After how much I loved Snyder's story arc involving the Court of Owls, I've been pretty interested as to where he'd take the series next--this did not disappoint.
I loved some of the nods to previous entries in the series, and the journey through Arkham Asylum felt particularly fitting. I ended up enjoying this more than The Killing Joke, which was pretty fabulous itself and a real landmark in the Batman series for Joker. A lot more horrific and brutal than many of the other Batman comics, with some interesting cameos from various other villains. Harley's appearance was particularly memorable for me.
