The series was written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Pablo Raimundi, Cliff Richards, and Jeremy Haun.

Publication history

Winick had previously brought back the character Jason Todd from the dead in the series Batman: Under the Hood . The new limited series was meant to explain the missing years from Todd's life that had been left. ^[1]

Plot

Jason Todd is reawakened from death; as he is taken care of by Talia al Ghul, he plans to take revenge on those who hurt him in life.

Talia finds Jason on the streets of Gotham after Jason was resurrection. She cares for Jason while he is catatonic, and eventually throws him into a Lazarus Pit. Jason's mind is healed, but he is deeply hurt by the circumstances of his death. Batman had replaced him as Robin and failed to kill the Joker after the Joker killed Jason. Jason tries to kill Batman at first, but can't find it within himself to go through with it. Instead, he spends the next few years training under the various teachers Talia sends him to, usually killing them afterwards. Jason intends to return to Gotham and have Batman kill the Joker as recompense for Jason's death.

Reception

The series holds an average rating of 7.8 by 13 professional critics on review aggregation website Comic Book Roundup. ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}
