The only part of Future State I've liked is Jason's. Everything else I either have no interest in, or simply don't like the direction for the characters.
The Titans book, I am a little leery of Jason's portrayal, as it is bordering on that, "every team has an *******" kind of cliche. The rest was overall fine. Nothing great, but it was still entertaining in its own right.

Have to agree to the T with your part about Titans United. Can this Jason be more try-harder edge and tough guy? God lord. But at least, I guess he has some kind of personality, which is something I can't say for Dick, Kori, Rachel or Gar. It was an ok read, and art was just ok as well. Also, huh, it's kind of obvious that the poor victim-treat guy had some amazo thing going for him. Wouldn't have been better for them to send the team members with powers afar and try to calm him down (without touching him, mind you, lowering his anxiety) with those who don't have any kind of power (Dick and Jason)? Gosh.
I loved Future State Gotham's issue, though. Loved the manga-like art, [B]loved Jason in that.[/B] And it has nice action, and the story was nice too. [spoil]Gees, the bat team feel lame here, though. Child-like, even. I hope they get to actually feel smart in the last portion of the story that still remains. Also, GIANT ROBOTS! Aww yeah! [/spoil] I'll probably get the trade of this one too.

I love when memes are used the right way. It was hilarious.

That series is a true gem, and something we've needed. The comments for it range from joyous and supportive, to confused about certain traits, to incels (nuff said about that).
But yeah, this is something that needs to continue for a long time.

It's fun seeing these characters in this kind of style.
Also, I'll always say it, but I wouldn't mind the white streak in the main continuity. I think it's a cool design, justification be damned. It's interesting seeing how many artists working on alternative continuities or games think of using it.

It feels as if Jason were one of the faves of the creative team working in the webcomic. He's just, so, lovable, in a mischievous way. So silly-fun to read.

Same. Much like the "Mortal Kombat costume" that everyone seemed to hate, I think the white streak looks really good on him.

There’s no rest for the wicked! Especially if you’re Floyd Lawton, a.k.a. Deadshot. He thought the mission that killed him would be his last, but now he’s been recruited into Task Force Z. But Deadshot’s never liked playing by anyone’s rules...and Red Hood and his would-be team are going to learn that the hard way!

Nice! The Robins book could be a nice, fun read with some mystery in. It makes me happy that it seems Jason's going to be a MC in FS: Gotham for longer than I thought; and I don't mind him pairing with Huntress Panic or whatever this version of Mother Panic or Huntress is (she looks cool and interesting). And I'm absolutely looking forward to TFZ; I like Deadshot entering Jason's circle of regular characters too, it seems a good fit to me.
Overall, looking forward to it all.

I really like it, but the shiny, very dark red material for the helmet makes it look cheap (unironically, since it's there to give it this metallic look).
Otherwise, very nice. Have always been a fan of that design.
