Deathstroke enacts his final plan to kill the Dark Knight, luring him away from the rest of the Bat-Family. Can Batgirl and Robin deduce Deathstroke plans, or will Gotham have a new, more brutal, protector?!
This continues to be a well-written re-telling of Jason Todd's origin. It's respectful to the original stories where he reappeared as the Red Hood but manages to stand on it's own at the same time.

Not as accessible as previous issues have been but still worth a read. Read Full Review

The lack of intriguing development for Deathstroke as an antagonist ended up affecting the impact this "Mentors" arc had as a whole. Read Full Review
