The only Jason Todd backstory rewrite I'll accept.

If not a Red Hood, then Jason Todd makes a fine Arkham Knight, too.

Found it amusing that Jason holds a grudge over having to move civilians out of harm's way while Batman did the brunt of the fighting during his short-lived career as a Robin. Grrr, I wanna fight shape-shifting monsters and serial killers! You never let me do ANYthing, dad!

Joker's brainwashing methods were particularly cruel, which were a neat update to the "Death in the Family" tale of Jason's fall from grace.

After reading this I can think of no one better to handle Arkham Knights intro into the comics in Detective #1001.

Peter J Thomasi is a steady writer. I can only think of one time where the writing didn’t click with me.

But that aside this is essential for anybody who played through game cause it fills in a few holes to excellent degree I might add.

This is Jason Todd of the Arkham universe. And his story is cleaner and better put together than it is in the main continuity. Essentially Death in the family but in this universe. And it’s really good.

Well drawn even though I thought I wouldn’t like the style and again very well written.

Worth a read if you like the game. And worth a read even if you don’t. And worth a read if you like or dislike Death in the Family.

4 stars.
