    So I just saw 3 issues at my local hastings, batman, catwoman, and batgirl, forgot the issue numbers, think it was like 11,13,14. Anyways I was going to buy them but then I remembered that theres versions out there with the joker face stretched all across the cover. The ones I found had the original cover. (Example of catwoman has been inserted) Im confused on which ones are the ones that complete the story arc, or does each series have 2 comics related to the story arc?

    Also which series are part of the death of familry story? Batman, catwoman, batgirl, and nightwing? Or is there more?
