Yes! It's easily my favorite from the Valiant line. I'm a few issues behind though.
I had no idea Valiant titles were still in production. I remember when they began, I got a ton of early series issues but none seemed to grab me at the time. I do recall enjoying the art though.

They folded for a few years but just relaunched again last year. They only have like 6 titles out I think.

Man, that was such a good issue. Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth would be my runner up this week. That's such a bizarre comic.

Have you read it yet? I'm not sure that I would call it a masterpiece, but it is pretty awesome.
I'm really excited for the Batman & issues coming up. Comic Vine has a preview of the next Red Hood comic and it looks pretty awesome. I can't wait to see how fucked up Jason is.

It was an excellent comic. Can't say if it's masterpiece level but there were surely a few panels that were pretty masterful. The close up of Batman's face before he lost it....pure rage.

Finished reading the Sword of Azrael mini-series last night, will hopefully start Vengeance of Bane tonight. This arc was so long ago I felt I wanted to revisit it plus I know I missed some issues back in the day. May have to crack open my comic boxes to get the pre-Knightfall Batman and Detective issues. Thanks for the heads up on Batman and Robin too.

The Joker physically did something to him. Poor Jason lol. Check out Red Hood and the Outlaws #17 or you can check out the preview below to get an idea.

KurtLeon, that series is a fun read. I've enjoyed the 4 issues I have read so far!

So the story of the joker beating him to death is still a part of the universe? and now he has thrown acid to his face?

Yup! Seriously, the poor kid can't catch a break. Jason is one of my absolute favorite characters in comics. (He's actually what got me into reading them as a kid). I'm not understanding the need to constantly change things up with him up, and add ridiculous new elements to his story. He's been DC's guinea pig for way too long now.

he always seemed like a lost cause, maybe they needed a character like that after having someone like Dick Greyson before him.
I dont really understand the need to get him back after so long...his death was pretty good and what came after too.
Most of the robins have been great characters, right?

They brought him back just for suckers like me. I think the Jason fans are pretty rabid and eat up anything he is in.

I have really enjoyed all of the Robins for different reasons. Stephanie included. Damian was probably my lease favorite, but now that he's dead I kind of miss him.

Damian is my favorite Robin followed closely by Tim. Dick has been Nightwing for as long as I've been reading and he's awesome as Nightwing. My introduction to Jason was his death so I don't have an attachment. The two girls were fine.

I'm hoping for that too. I think we will go without a Robin for a while. I'm pretty happy about RHATO today =)
X-0 Manowar is fantastic this week. Might be my pick of the week, but I still need to read Invincible and Nightwing.
