Batman: Second Chances by Dave Cockrum, Chris Warner, Norm Breyfogle, Jim Starlin, Jim Aparo, Jo Duffy, Ross Andru, Max Allan Collins, Denys Cowan
4.0
*4.5
Unpopular opinion, but I absolutely love Jason Todd’s Robin. He’s so interesting to me, because of how polar opposite he is from both Bruce and Dick. Second Chances is a simple rundown of Jason heavy stories, including his first appearance, his origin, his basic morals, and some of his first missions. The stories collected in here were really good, and really gave me a nice overview of young Jason Todd.
Dick Grayson (Nightwing) also shows up in one of the last comics, and it’s probably the best comic in this entire trade. Dick’s conversation with Bruce about being replaced was very real, and one of the most interesting things in here. It was very powerful, and I’m so glad DC acknowledged that what Bruce did was such an asshole fucking thing to do. I will never not be mad at this.
Jason’s introduction was also a great comic, and everything in between was also really enjoyable. Obviously with trades that collect non-order comics, not everything is going to make sense or be amazing. But I still really enjoyed this regardless.
