Jason Todd remembers his history with the Bat Family. He then has a confrontation with the group. Afterwards, he is contacted by Peackeeper 03. Later he meets with an old friend with an unusual request. Elsewhere, the Peacekeepers exert control over a group of angry protestors.
Batman is captured by The Penguin’s ex-henchmen. He is then aided by a new member of the Bat Family. The two must then decide how to proceed.
The Story:
Williamson and Culver have created a compelling narrative with a surprising twist. I like the idea of Jason Todd stepping toward the forefront in his own tale. I hope this series explores more of his history with the Bat Family.
I am a fan of the Next Batman series and the Fox Family. I enjoy watching the growth of this character and the Bat Family in general.
The Art: The black and white motif of this issue is visually pleasing. The drawings are intense and detailed. And the mood of each story is matched by the artwork.
