UPDATE to article below: In case you thought it was just a co-incidence, from the published issue…

Original article below:

A few decades ago, DC Comics ran the Batman story "Death in The Family" which invited readers to vote on whether or not robin, Jason Todd, should die or not in the current storyline.

Overwhelmingly the public voted for his death.

It took another couple of decades for that to "unstick" and now Jason Todd is Red Hood. Though DC didn't choose to refund the phonecall costs to those who had made that fateful decision.

In this week's Red Hood & The Outlaws #12, someone else is under the same threat. Though this time it's a) on-line and b) part of the storyline. But again, everyone wants to see him dead…
From a Multiversity preview, Arsenal only gets 52 votes to live. Hilarious. Sadly this is the best resolution of this image we could get.

Also… is that Marge Simpson, Bart Simpson and Milhouse? Or could that Bart be a certain Impulse… he has voted five times in quick succession.Of course he's not the only character under threat – and while we know Arsenal ends up very much alive in Titans: Rebirth – what about the Joker's Daughter?
