Who would have known Frank Miller getting older would actually make me like his writing.

So this very short graphic novel is basically the story of Jason Todd. Batman transitioning from Hardass psycho in All Star Batman and Robin to more tame, calm, Bruce we all know. He's seeing Jason Todd, his Robin at the time, slowly going down the rabbit hole. Becoming more violent and angry. We also see the Joker at his most lethal. What he can do with his mind games and how he can use it to escape any situation.

Good: Loved the slow dwindling effect on Jason. This actually made me understand his decent into darkness and worked well. I also enjoyed seeing the Joker here, as he came across very very creepy and he hardly laid a finger on anyone. Pretty freaky.

Bad: I thought it was too short sadly. The art wasn't that great either, and everyone looked squashed down and mushed. Some of the dialog was a bit meh.

Overall this was pretty fun. Yes, it had Miller issues but overall it was a breeze to read and didn't make me question what the fuck Miller was writing. A easy 3 out of 5.
