scans_dailySince we never really got much post-Crisis Robin!Jason in the first place, and he's more often than not retroactively written as being more of a bad seed than he actually was (stealing the Robin costume in Nightwing Year One vs. being given the Robin costume in Batman 410).
Mike W. Barr wrote post-Crisis Jason as closer to his pre-Crisis incarnation, so I was also hoping to see more of an amalgamation of the two, or at the very least something a bit closer to post-Crisis Jason.
It was also nice to see a young Jason!Robin not being written as constantly angry, "thuggish", punk-like, etc. It seems like too often many fans, creators and editors forget that Jason as Robin was heroic and did heroic acts. Thankfully, Barr didn't forget.
A little over 4 pages from 32.
Batman and Robin are on the case!!! of the Reaper. Batman gets info from Gordon about a new Reaper in Gotham. Jason starts on the detective work.
Batman goes undercover in a bar in order to find out more information. Jason busts in through the wall with the Batmobile when he hears the Reaper has shown up.
The Dynamic Duo think the original Reaper's daughter, Rachel, will be targeted by the new Reaper. Jason goes to protect her while Batman waits outside to capture the Reaper.
There's a bit of pre-Crisis Jason or just a younger version of post-Crisis Jason from Max Allan Collins' and Barr's Detective run in here, mixed with the spunk of post-Crisis Jason (busting through a wall in the Batmobile). It's nice to see Jason as heroic here (putting himself in front of Rachel to protect her from the Reaper), as well as doing detective work since more often than not it's assumed by the fandom that he was only ever the angry Robin and never did detective work or wasn't skilled enough.
Suffice to say, I quite enjoyed this! =D

Date: 2011-08-10 01:07 pm (UTC)Seems I avoided the raise of the prices as well!
I never buy issues over 5$ max... (specially since I always have to pay for such expensive shipping over here - Switzerland, that is)
