I definitely can see that. I’m just over the Croc is a mutated monster, ala DC’s answer to the Lizard. Conway really fleshed Croc out into a character that I’d love to see writers do again.
I’m completely aware of that, I just thought the editor might have been setting up a theme to connect the two former Robins.Coincidental. Undercover missions are a regularly recurring theme in vigilante stories.
I have most of the post Crisis stories, and you’re correct. Wolfman and Starlin really seemed to not like Jason, post Crisis. I did enjoy what Winnick did with him. Made him a very tragic, flawed character, who had every right to be upset with Bruce over the events of what happened.Not really. There are some old and very one-sided stories from post-crisis written by Dick Grayson writers à la "look how perfect Dick Grayson is - and here's Jason Todd, the biggest loser that ever lived".
Dick has a guest appearance in Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #1 (Rebirth run) though. It's one of the very few stories where Dick and Jason are portrayed as "brothers".
I also really love Orlando's Wonder Woman run, but, yeah, Night of the Monster Men sure was.....something. I mean, I get it, I don't think it was meant to be taken too seriously as a story, it does definitely have a lot of 'kaiju' elements after all. But I think I remember not being too much of a fan of it, since it felt like an unnecessary derailing of quite a few Rebirth titles that also was much too early into Rebirth. I think Nightwing was only onto its 5th issue when it got pulled into this crossover.
Considering how self contained the story was, how zany the tone was, and how irrelevant it was to the books thereafter, I think it would have served better as a standalone miniseries similar to Batman Universe, rather than a main continuity based crossover.
Sorry if I sounded rude. I was tired.

I love how many Zag fanarts I'm finding out there. People appreciating sweet Zag. He deserves everything.
Knowing fandom, I'm also expecting them to draw crossovers between both Jason and Zagreus. I'm guessing once Hades becomes GOTY, and it reaches a bigger audience, that they will come. It's just too easy, mixing both the batfam drama, and the House of Hades drama, and a few common traits and themes both characters share as well.

That would be awesome. Like back when Voltron: Legendary Defender was so popular and fan artists created some nice crossover fanarts with Shiro and Jason. Shiro and Young Justice Jason even have the same voice actor: Josh Keaton. That was a funny coincidence.
The Red Hood #51 cover and variant look so good. Only one week left.

"And speak of the devil, my #REDHOOD comps just arrived in the mail from @DCComics. Look at that @KaelNgu cover!"
So all of Jason’s years of being a phychotic mad men will be returning?
(reading the comments) Before Jason do people ever have a fetish for autopsy scar
Immediately I saw the parallel
Zag = Jason
Hades = Bruce
Meg = Artemis
Than = ...Diiiick? (immediate thought because he's dad's best boi)
It helps that the art looks similar to Dexter Soy's
Sorry, context?
