Looks like a full 'official' reveal of the covers plus some extra info from SGM.

Concerned parent, Jason.

Jason looking a bit Grayson-y in that last cover but not bad. I'm definitely down for this series.

That is until he meets Gan, a local girl from East Backport who needs his help to save her neighborhood from a super-criminal terrorizing its citizens.

Ah, and there's a one shot focused on Artemis being on the run from all the Amazons and needing all the help she can get. Perfect time for Jason to show so I doubt it will happen.

I'm happy with what we get this summer. Not a bad month for me. I mean, At the start of this year, I was counting with just TFZ to be still ongoing by that point. And then, I expect October to bring a few new series which, with luck, will include a new book for Jason.

[AJpyro]

I am super conflicted. I don't go over AU titles.

And yet...my outlaws back in webtoons and Jason getting another side kick...

Dangit I'm being reeled in.

Surprisingly, Jason has been doing pretty well lately.

[RedBird]

I really hope this White Knight Red Hood book really delivers. Ever since Stephs tragically short time as Robin, I've had sort of a soft spot for that kind of bright and plucky female sidekick, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this new character and her relationship with Jason.

I'm just wondering what will happen after Martinbrough's run is finished.

Ah, she truly is an outlaw.

Yup. Classic DC.

Though to add the that, I'm sure the existence of the RHATO Webtoon is proof enough that we won't be seeing a reunion anytime soon. The Webtoons seem to be covering characters and ideas that aren't currently explored in the mainline. Like giving Zatanna and Vixen their own titles, or letting the batfamily be happy.

So should i read TFZ?

Or whatever adventure Jason is in?

TFZ is different, for sure. One of those "everyone backstabs everyone else" kind of things. Entertaining in its own right, but maybe not for everyone.

Future State Gotham, if you like Manga style art, is great as Jason fans.

Jason in Kill Joker is, different. Not bad, but hard to say where its going.

White Knight, well, grump Jason gets his own Robin. The rest of the story, not sure how that's gonna go.

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Personally, I don't like TFZ because is "Jason is an idiot that can't achieve anything" The book. Kill Joker is a far better take on Jason as leader of a Suicide Squad but waiting more than six months for the conclusion is just not worth it. Future State is decent but it has gone for far too long. WK looks really promising as long you don't get hung up on all the changes Murphy is making to the canon.

It's a fun story with plenty of action and nice looking art. I like it very much. It's not great, but it's fun.
I like Future State Gotham even more, but I'm looking forward to every new issue of both the same.

Don't know what I have seen sofar gives me also major "Jason is an idiot that can't achieve anything" vibes.

Future State Gotham is at the moment the closest to a competent, bad ass Jason.

WK Jason was able to actually move forward and turn his trauma into a positive by becoming a warden, hell, he is only back in Gotham because Bruce asked him to return. He had already made his life outside Bruce's shadow and came back because he was willing to put his past behind. That is more than most takes on Jason ever achieved.

In his first major appearance in the Harley Quinn Mini Bruce tricks him to escape from the prison in his Red Hood Uniform and in the second he needs to bet rescued by Bruce from a prison riot.

He may have overcome his trauma better than other versions, but sofar he has not looked particularly competent.
