Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. The variant cover will feature the standard edition cover in a wraparound format.

• A “DEATH OF THE FAMILY” tie-in!

• Our heroes learn a lesson they’ll never forget as Arsenal takes control in Red Robin’s absence!

• Mirroring the events of RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #16, Jason Todd and Tim Drake must rely on each other to survive The Joker’s attack!

• Plus: It’s the return of Raven!

AWESOME!!!!

Her appearance happens in the middle of a tie-in? That's kind of disappointing, cause unless her appearance is just a last page arrival, her presences will be over-shadowed by the bigger story revolving around the Bat family.

@Beast_in_the_Shadows: Think it could be as a sort of last page arrival or backup feature.

She's going to be in #16 of Teen Titans? Well, it looks like I definitely need lots of catching up to do.

OH MY GOD!!!Did you guys read Teen Titans 13? The ancient site where Cassie found the Silent Armor...beared the Mark of Trigon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pfft She already returned in Phantom Stranger. Liar Solicit is a liar. :p

@Dernman: Well to be fair, she was dragged off to another dimension so it could just be her returning to Earth. :)

@RavenArrow: I was really excited about this :)

@RavenArrow: Also noticed this, I also noticed someone else I forget the comic, saying they were digested by Trigon or something akin to that and that they had basically seen much worse. It made me think, oh trigon do you have a daughter in the new 52? And he does YAY!

Really looking forward to her return, I wonder if she'll be possessed or suited up this time. I just hope that she'll get her own spin off series with Donna Troy. Maybe written by Jeff Lemire cause Justice League Dark is really good. It might sell well if its written good and both Raven and Donna have a huge fan base.

This is Raven's new 52 costume

She's dressed as a giant bird. Who else is it gonna be?

I dunno. I was thinking, possibly, a new character?

Given that Raven's supposed to appear in this issue, I think it's most likely her. And there's this concept art to back it up too

I know about that concept art, but I remember them saying that it wasn't her. So I thought, perhaps its not her.

@sethysquare: Booth has said it was her when asked.

I love the fact that she has kneepads, because that's totally necessary, right?

Hmm (just noticed)...who is that golden glowing guy?

That is one of the worst costume designs I've ever seen.

About time she came back

Ok, just read the issue, and....

She gets an intro from Trigon and it only takes up a single page, no lines...still wearing that hideous helmet.

On the subject of Trigon...I have to day I prefer how he was drawn in Phantom Stranger, because Brett prefers characters being lean rather than broad chested, and unfortunately I think it makes characters less imposing (and characters like Batman and Trigon need to be imposing).

Can you post the page? And, what do you mean she gets an intro from Trigon?

@RavenArrow: Nothing more than that.

atrocious costume redesign

That is just nasty to look at the cape or suit wouldn't look so bad if the helm and spiked gloves/shoes weren't part of it.
