The Joker Set To Return To The ‘New 52′ In ‘Death of the Family’
 |
DC Comics has revealed several new solicits for the upcoming ‘Death of the Family‘ story arc which will feature the prominent return of The Joker in the New 52 universe. We last caught a glimpse of the Clown Prince of Crime in Detective Comics #1 where we were shown the graphic image of his surgically removed face. This removed piece of flesh appeared now and then in several Bat-titles since then, but The Joker himself has remained relatively unseen in the New 52 universe up to this point. All that will change when the ‘Death of the Family’ story arc kicks off in November.
Below are several solicits that will serve as both lead-ins and tie-ins for the ‘Death of the Family’ story arc.
