The Jason Todd Reread (pre- and post-crisis)
This thread is part of the [URL="https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?119829-Jason-Todd-Robin-Red-Hood-Arkham-Knight-Prince-of-Gotham-Appreciation-2019"]Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight, Prince of Gotham Appreciation 2019[/URL] thread. Its purpose is to give us Jason Todd fans a place where we can (re-)read and discuss old Jason Todd stories. (Please keep in mind that – since this is part of an appreciation thread – the appreciation thread rules still apply. You can find them at the end of the post.)
I decided to separate this discussion from the appreciation thread because it's tremendously easier to follow the reread discussion and to find particular parts of it later on.
The reread starts with Jason's pre-crisis appearances. We'll follow his journey in [i]Batman[/i] and [i]Detective Comics[/i]. Further, there are some guest appearances in other titles that we'll probably discuss. The reading order is chronologically starting with Jason's introduction in [i]Batman[/i] #357, followed by [i]Detective Comics[/i] #524, then back to [i]Batman[/i] #358, … (I think you get the point.) Below you find a table that provides a good overview of the pre-crisis issues and their releases.
[B]Schedule[/B]: we discuss [U]two[/U]* issues [U]every other[/U] week on [U]Saturday[/U]
(If wished we can change the schedule later on.)
*issues without Jason aren’t discussed separately but in combination with the next follow-up issue that contains an appearance of Jason.
currently discussed (8 June): Detective Comics #533 & Batman 367
next time discussed (to be announced): Detective Comics #534 & Batman 368
