Despite being on the edge of the batman fandom for a long time, I have never actually picked up a DC comic book. I wouldn’t have started with this had I not known the context, obviously, and even though I knew the plot going in, it still managed to hold my attention and surprise me in a lot of ways. The story is iconic and completely heartbreaking.
