That Joker is maybe the sinisterest Joker I’ve seen in a long time. Combine that with a killer joke, and you have gold. Well done, sirs.

I dialed that number back in 1988 and I don’t regret my vote against Jason Todd to this day. Based upon what we’ve seen since his resurrection can you blame me?

u know this was the first trade I ever owned and the first comic to give me nightmares…shit u not….i just read the intro to it the other day…the writer says something about how no one liked Jason and that a something had to be done about him…can we not do the same thing with Mockingbird who besides Bendis likes her alive?????

This is my new all-time favorite-est webcomic ever. THIS VERY COMIC.

Also, I find it unfair that Judd Winick’s vote counts for more than anyone else’s.
He has confessed that he called the “Save Jason” line in ‘88, and when he got to write Batman he finally got his way.
Whenever someone gets the only vote that matters, I call it the Winick Vote.

Good comic, guys. I never called tha line, but it brings back memories. And I hate to disappoint you, Mr. Martini, but I also like Mockingbird.

I had no idea what this comic was about until I googled the phone number. Then I laughed my ass off. Also, did you know it was only a 5,343 to 5,271 vote to kill Jason Todd? 50.339%! I think Al Gore “lost” by more than that (That’s a joke. He actually won the popular vote, 50,999,897 to 50,456,002, or 48.4% to 47.9%. Yep, that’s right. People hated W more than they wanted to kill Jason Todd.).

The only thing I regret about this comic is we didn’t do a joke about the Joker actually being the ambassador for a Middle Eastern country.
But, seriously, that’s already so ridiculous how do you do a joke about it.

Well, yeah, Simon. We wouldn’t have seen the resurrection at all if you hadn’t voted to kill him in the first place.

You should have had Two Face using two phones to vote twice.

So I’m curious… why does everyone in the rogues’s gallery get the Bruce Timm design nod except Catwoman and Riddler?
Your comic is 110% awesome, btw.

Daniel O’Daniel – I will forever hate myself and Curt for not thinking of that, because it is brilliantly obvious.
