This comic had me in tears. Jason is my favorite, and his story tugs at my heart so much. Their individual personalities were so evident in this comic, and I like the black mask is a villain.

Despite being on the edge of the batman fandom for a long time, I have never actually picked up a DC comic book. I wouldn’t have started with this had I not known the context, obviously, and even though I knew the plot going in, it still managed to hold my attention and surprise me in a lot of ways. The story is iconic and completely heartbreaking.

Didn’t realize how much this story tied into Identity and Infinite Crisis. Also the edition that had the Hush chapter which reintroduced Jason Todd, for those who haven’t read it.

The interesting parts about Batman being in denial of who Red Hood is and his struggle on what causes people to come back from the dead could’ve gone on for longer. Especially his conversations with Green Arrow and Superman (the Superman one in particular could’ve been much longer).
