OK. Question numero uno. I just picked up Cap. America: Road to Rebirth, cause a friend of mine told me to check out Bucky's resurrection and the whole storyline and so far it's pretty good. Other than Winter Soldier, what are some of the issues I should pick up? I keep hearing how Bucky's resurrection was better than Jason Todd's (following Under the Hood).
And now for the question that's pretty much re-hashing the atrocity that was Battle for the Cowl. So Bruce's asshattery message to Jason. This was actually brought on by a convo w/ another friend. My only question was going to be about Bucky Barnes trades. But well, I guess I figured I'd ruined all of y'all's Thursday, too. :-D
Could Tony Daniel have written this in a way that, oh I don't know, didn't make it seem like there was further trauma in Jason's childhood more than living on the streets, having a father who was killed by Two-Face, an adoptive mother who was a junkie, a real mother who betrayed him, being beaten nearly to death with a crowbar, blown up and later dig his way out of his own grave?
The fact that there's more deep-seated trauma than ALL OF THIS kinda seems a bit much.
You know, written it in a way that didn't seem like Jason was molested as a child or something, because that's practically how it reads to me. I don't know how many of you think about this scene in terms of Rage and Screams, but I kinda do.
But really, what SHOULD Bruce have said to Jason as his last words?
For reference of what Bruce said... see scan.
