Studios, written by Ram V and drawn by Filipe Andrade, that provides a trope-busting look at reincarnation, thanks to the goddess of death. With a vibe that calls back to one of my favorite novels, Good Omens by [&#8230;]]]></description>

Alan Moore’s disturbing tale of Gotham Police Commissioner Jim Gordon’s very bad day, as engineered by the Joker, continues to be the watermark by which the relationship of the Batman and the Joker is measured.

A massive battle that defines the word EPIC? Absolutely. But it’s more than that. The book has a sense of its bigness. It feels important.
