"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

these books would be better if I understood Jason’s motive for wanting the Joker dead NOW after all this time

Something isn't right with the Batman universe at DC right now and lot of new release fail badly. That one is a good example of it. The first two pages where very good and then it just fall into a parody of itself. Both graphicly and narratively. Very weird! Very bad!

Catwoman’s cat burglar school for former henchman gets a new instructor, Red Hood.

Puede que me falle el no saber por qué Jason vuelve a estar obsesionado con el Joker. Pero sí que la relevancia de Capucha Roja en el movimiento de Catwoman por redirigir a los matones de Gotham a actividades criminales más "seguras" y "sin víctimas" me parece totalmente lógica. En este mismo número se recuerda la historia de origen de Jason Todd cambiando su vida al tratar de robar las llantas del Batmovil. Logrando redirigir su talento e ira a la cruzada contra el crimen de Bruce... Pero... ¿Si Catwoman hubiese empezado su movimiento por aquel entonces?... ¿Seguro que Jason no habría preferido desempeñarse de esa forma y mantenerse en lado criminal de la historia?

Es cierto que de momento, este spin-off está más encajado en hacer confrontar a Jason contra todos por esa búsqueda del Payaso del Crimen. Pero otro cabo suelto de esta situación, que son los jefes super criminales faltos de "mano de obra", también se presenta como algo apremiante para que Capucha Roja no se cuestione tanto este plan de Selina.

A comentario personal, espero que DC le de muchas más oportunidades gráficas a
Nikola Cizmesija que no solo se queden en títulos anexos a las historias principales.

As awful as this was, it did have one of the best characterization for Jason. Batman was completely wrong and messed up, his actions were not that of what Batman stands for and i cant quite understand why we are made to belive Bruce would ever do any of these things.The only points throughout the entire of the gotham war arc i enjoyed was Jason's character being acurrate and seeing the interactions between all batkids, steph being included in that is a pro itself.

I'm assuming this is before Jason gets caught by Batman. It's an interesting story with some cool art. I'm looking forward to the Scarecrow storyline.
