So I'm clearing through some of my comics this month, including rereading issues as I prepare for new issues to come out and to post my reviews on here with a fresh view of them. Rereading them is giving me great pleasure, even when I've read them fairly recently; I'm in a stressful situation and this is easier than reading newer, or longer, stuff right now...
I also want to get through some unread issues, before I can binge some favorite series (looks like Murderbot Diaries/Murderbot, Temeraire and then Halcyone Space, and that one is last right now because if I catch up/start at the same time, I can read the first two series with friends.)
To be brutally honest, I don't really want to write this review: this is a series I've been looking forward to, and the variant covers are super hot. (At least for the first two issues.) I've enjoyed Tim Seeley's work, particularly on Hack/Slash. But I think he got some characterization wrong, especially Jason Todd, and I'm not happy about that. Having read the next issue already - and yes, I will reread it next - I'm not convinced I'm super happy with the plot of the secret that Batman is keeping.
So, yeah, I wish this were just a little better. If it doesn't get better, I'll continue rating it three stars: not terrible, not as good as I'd hoped. That being said, it's got Jason in it, I'll keep subscribing and reading it anyway.
