Jason Todd is one character in the Batman world that has always sort of fascinated me. He wasn't the first Robin, and he wasn't the last. Somehow he was beaten to a pulp and died - buried and everything - and then he came back to life reborn as the Red Hood. This tells the story of how he got to the Red Hood, but it doesn't tell what happened between the time the Joker bashed his head in to how he got to Talia. That's in Under the Red Hood, I believe.

Anyway, I really did like this book. I was really into getting into Jason's head. I've read some Red Hood & the Outlaws issues from the New 52 and while there is still that rebellious side it is nowhere near the type of rage we see here. I've got to get my hands on the in between stuff.

That being said, there was some stuff I was kind of bored with or seemed out of place, but other than that it kept me intrigued and I found myself wanting to start reading more of Red Hood. Having not read too much of Jason as Red Hood or Robin this was a good introduction.
