Deathstroke and Robin face down Firefly, but can the two stand the heat after the firebug gets the upperhand? And who's hired Deathstroke to take down the Dark Knight?
Kicking off with an exciting confrontation between the Joker and Jason Todd, this issue goes on to provide a solid new version of the Red Hood's origin. The writing is great and respectful to the original Jason Todd character. The art is lovely. It always looks like the TV show but the little subtle things like the brighter colouring during key moments really brings this comic to life. Lettering is decent throughout and the characters are well-developed. An extremely enjoyable introduction to Jason Todd as a character. Read Full Review
Nostalgia is a strong emotion, and every issue of this book just transports me back to those 90's days watching the animated show on TV. It makes me smile, and we all need some of that right now. Read Full Review

Now that Todd knows Deathstroke is being bankrolled by Lex Luthor to knock off Batman, what happens to his long-term plans for his former mentor? And, if indeed he decides to make himself more visiable, will we be seeing Hush? The Red Hood? Or something else entirely? Read Full Review
Batman: The Adventures Continue #5 progresses the "Mentor" story but unfortunately faces several problems that hold back the quality. The biggest problems facing this storyline are with how poorly Deathstroke and the Batman Family stalker have been developed. Thus far the name value of these characters are what this story are playing off of rather than true character development. Hopefully that changes in future issues of this series. Read Full Review
