Notes: - "A Death in the Family" Part 3 - Batman #427 ended on a cliffhanger that placed Jason Todd in the blast zone of an exploding warehouse. - DC set up a poll for readers to cast their vote of whether Jason Todd should survive the blast by calling one phone number, or die by calling another. - 10,614 phone calls were made with Todd's death having been decided by only 72 votes more than the opposite outcome where he would've survived - DC had prepared both scenarios to go to print (see unpublished pages) Comics come newly bagged and boarded and are shipped in industry standard protective mailers.
