    This isn't a story of a father and son at war, but a father trying to save his son no matter what it costs him and so far, it's brilliant. Read Full Review

    I'm so very glad that this series is continuing to be well-made. Jason Todd is the subject of many a fan discourse and it's often hard to think of him as Robin rather than his Red-Hood alias. Peeling back the layers of time and examining the boy that he was is a really interesting way of looking at him, and honestly one of his best-written stories in quite some time. I'm quite the sucker for father-son conflict in stories so this is right up my alley. All in all, keep up the good work creative team and I'll see you next month. Read Full Review

    I really like this comic book, but the non-linear storytelling in issue #2 is a little hard to wrap the mind around and the multiple story threadsthe different little plots that are arguably trying to explain what's going on with Bruce, Jason, and even a seemingly unrelated therapist that ties to our narratorcan themselves be a bit of a challenge to follow.
