Jayson
is finished
Notes:
(1) After a really solid previous issue, this ended up being a fairly big disappointment.
- The villain's a one-and-done and, much like Black Spider, I don't really care.
- My only question is whether he buys his canes the same place Penguin gets umbrellas?
(2) SPOILER: The whole "Mrs. Batman" angle was just a way to lure Batman to Maine to be blackmailed... I think.

Notes:
(1) I feel the same way about this as I did the last Black Spider issue: one big whatever.
- Former drug addict, fueled by rage, wages war on drug dealers. Boring!
(2) DC did this sort of character right when they made Jason Todd a killer crimefighter.
- The difference? Jason returned like aged wine: darker and more complex, with a deeper raison d'etre.
