Over 30 years ago, history was made when fans voted to kill the second Robin, Jason Todd. Now, DC continues the alternate story of what would have happened if he had lived…Jason Todd, traumatized after The Joker’s near-fatal attack, struggles to step back into Robin’s shoes—while Batman questions the very need for a young partner by his side. Has Joker “killed” Robin after all?When tragedy strikes again in the form of the mind-bending Scarecrow, how do our heroes ?nd their way back—especially with Copperhead on the loose and The Joker on the run?
From the DC Vault: Death in the Family Robin Lives #2 & #3 is a must read if you're a fan of the Robins. The art is gorgeous and full of parallels from an earlier time. The story is full of moments that really pull you back, and delve into a what if that many of us fans are curious about. Is this a good timeline? Strongly recommended! Read Full Review
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
With two more issues to go DeMatteis is sure to give readers a satisfying story of what might have been. 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.

DeMatteis delivers once more with a very satisfying second chapter to what may have been. Jason was already a handful and troubled enough before this. At the time comics were still simpler, so I doubt Jason would've been this shaken up. In fact if he survived they'd have probably still gotten the message and made him actually learn and improve from it. But this shows more of what one would expect in the darker tales of today, but it's still being done in an exciting way, which DeMatteis has usually done with Batman stories. It's really too bad talent like his is reduced to the occasional mini-series while no-talent hacks like Tom Taylor are given the regular books to ruin with their demented ideology.
I've had enough of the regular con more
