Es una lástima que esta miniserie sea tan solo para presentar mínimamente a Gan, quien parece que va a cobrar gran relevancia en la saga troncal de Beyond the White Knight. Despachan de cualquier forma ese enfrentamiento contra el supervillano de barrio que era el gran desafío de Gan. Es cierto que justo aprovechan para enfrentarla a unas devastadoras consecuencias y dejar que la narrativa vuelva al presente para mostrar el reencuentro con Jason. Pero de no ser porque el personaje de Gan es totalmente empático por sí solo, sería inevitable ver esta mini de Red Hood como un Tie-In algo sacacuartos. Dejando la narrativa de Jason y Gan bajo mínimos y apenas haciendo algo a mayores por la saga troncal hasta ver en qué participará Gan y Jason junto a Bruce y compañía.

Supongo que Sean Murphy retomará esta cabecera y personajes a sabiendas de que, seguramente por motivos editoriales de seguir calendario de fechas, ha dejado esta gélida sensación con Red Hood.

I can happily say I was right and wrong with my assessment of where issue 1 was going. Murphy puts a nice twist on Jason's mentorship and savvyily (maybe not a word, but it works) brings this story into the present events of the main series. Jason is my one of my least favorite Robins and Bat-Family members, but this is a nice, reflective portrayal of him that shows the moment he truly started to grow up - because even though he does what he always (as he says), we also know he comes back as a responsible adult. A redemptive version of Jason here, for sure.

Siento que todo sucede muy rápido y por lo mismo no pude empatizar con casi nada. El villano me pareció muy plano, al igual que los problemas de Gan y Jason, ojalá les den más tiempo para desarrollar bien a los personajes.

Think I said this last time but I like Gan.

I think it was over before any of the characters really got a chance to shine

It was just meh.

I liked this story but the artwork was hard to "read." I often couldn't follow the action because I couldn't tell what was happening.

"I thought I knew better than Batman. I thought I could build a better Robin.

But at that moment I realised I didn't turn you into Robin...

I turned you into me."

the parallels, the realization

Well, reading this through I see I read it a little early. It takes place in the middle of Beyond the White Knight. I haven’t read that yet.

But this is a fun reintroduction to Red Hood. I love Gan. I hope they both show up in Beyond the White Knight.
