This was a really nice surprise. A retelling of Jason Todd's origin but in the Batman: Arkham Knight Universe.

So this is basically Jason Todd just going over how he became Robin, how he nearly died, and how he came back as the Arkham Knight. This is a more modern update, and this Jason is even more of a asshole than the norm. Still, what's actually pretty cool about this volume is watching him plan his attack on Batman. Step by step you see him attack Batman and crew but from behind, using people like Deathstroke, to weaken them. While doing that you get the backstory, and a more brutal version of what happened to the 2nd boy wonder.

Good: The art is really good and the fights are very dark and fucked up at times. The rage of Jason Todd can be felt from the very start, and while over the top, you can even understand his reasoning at times. The plotting of Arkham Knight is pretty vicious and it sets up a good villain for the Batman.

Bad: It's nothing very knew. If you know least the basics of Death in the family you would know this story and the end result. Also, it is set up volume, so no grand closure.

Overall, a exciting and fun retelling of Jason Todd's sad origin and death, and the birth of Arkham Knight (Red Hood in the normal universe). I really enjoyed the games so this was a nice set up to give more insight on the villain of the third game. A 3.5 out of 5, but I'll bump it to a 4.
