Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight Appreciation 2019

[Zaresh]

I was thinking for a while to get into Jason, but never really made the jump. What would people here consider a good entry point? Or a story that sets him up and explains what he is about? Doesn't have to be new, anything goes, really.

We have posted a very brief read list for jumping-point Jason Todd in the first post of this thread. If I recall correctly, it's Batman: Under the Hood plus the RHATO vol. 2 (Rebirth) up to now. For something more thorough, you can read RHATO vol. 1 (new 52), Red Hood / Arsenal (DCYu, if I'm not wrong. Poeple like it even less than his N52), Countdown to Final Crisis (people often hate that book, but his multiversal trip was actually fun) or his run as Robin pre and post crisis that we are reading currently in a thread, also linked in the first post of this thread. A Death in the Family is an important story for him, obviously, even if it's retold in other places and it hasn't aged well. Also, Batman: The Cult is a pretty cool old book that has Jason being very badass, and has some awesome art. There is more stuff (if I recall correctly, he shows up in Winick's Outsiders, and his Green Arrow. Also in Batman and Robin Eternal, etc.), books in which he appears for a brief role or he is supporting cast.

But Under the Hood + Rebirth is what I would go for a starting point too, honestly, even if it skips a lot.
And yeah, I'm totally skipping Jason under Morrison tenure over the batfam, because either he was barely him (many fans often joke about Redhead Jason being an imposter) or his role was really small.

If you want to get quick into the current series, without reading it from the beginning issue #26 is probably the best jumping on point.

Oh, you haven't? I remember reading some short text in the first post a while back. I guess I mixed things (not the first time I would have).

The reading recommendations were "in progress" for months. I didn't know how to sort suggestions in a way that doesn't look too overwhelming for new fans or interested people.

So I recently changed the recommendations to a quick 2-step introduction.
