Red Hood The Lost Days!

I just finished reading the Red Hood: the Lost Days compilation of the six issue mini-series. This is the story of the dead Robin - Jason Todd who dug his way out of his grave, was a fighting zombie for a while and then was actually brought back to life by Talia Al Ghul.  She helps Jason recover and train all the while stalling and hoping he would not actually try and kill Batman.  Jason’s training is often done by very bad men and woman.  People he eventually turns on in a non-Batman like way.  There are a number of very well written adventures and all the while Jason is slowly becoming less angry with being dead.  The final confrontation with the Joker was very interesting.  In the end the Jason settles for punishing Batman for not avenging his death.  The last scene shows his discovery of the Red Hood. This was a really good read.

It is a shame that with the new 52 reboot the Red Hood character was not allowed to keep the good parts of this story.  Red Hood and the Outlaws was just such a disappointment.
