Batman: Death of the Family Compendium

The complete Death of the Family epic from comics superstars Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is collected in one volume!

The Joker is back—and this time, it’s personal.

Believing Batman has grown weak through his connections to others, the Joker unleashes a coordinated attack designed to tear apart every relationship the Dark Knight depends on. What follows is a relentless campaign that spreads across Gotham, putting the entire Bat-Family in danger.

As the crisis escalates, allies including Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, and Catwoman are drawn into the conflict, each facing their own encounter with the Joker’s disturbing vision. Every piece of the story builds toward a confrontation that will test not just Batman’s strength, but his belief in the people closest to him.

This compendium collects the full Death of the Family saga from Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) and Greg Capullo (Dark Nights: Metal), bringing together the core storyline and key tie-in issues into one complete reading experience that captures the scale and impact of one of Batman’s most intense modern stories.

Collects Batman #13-20, Batman Annual #2, Detective Comics #1-4 and #15-17, Batman and Robin #13-17, Batgirl #13-17, Catwoman #13-14, Nightwing #14-16, Red Hood and the Outlaws #0 and #15-18, Suicide Squad #14-15, and Teen Titans #15-16.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
