Robin & Batman: Jason Todd - Hardcover
by Jeff Lemire (Author), Dustin Nguyen (Illustrator)
Comics superstars Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen reunite to tell the all-new story of a different Dynamic Duo, with a very different dynamic!
Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's acclaimed, fan-favorite comics collaborations include the Eisner Award-winning Image Comics sci-fi series Descender, and their take on the most famous partnership in superhero comics, Robin & Batman. While Robin & Batman told the tale of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, for their follow-up, Lemire and Nguyen examine a very different sidekick: Jason Todd, a rash, impulsive, reckless kid with a troubled past. Batman was certain he could mold Jason into Gotham's next crime-fighter as the second Robin. But can the Dark Knight save Jason Todd from the darkness within himself? And when a mysterious new villain named Wraith sets his sights on Jason, Batman finds himself doubtful that even he has what it takes to train the anger and torment out of his new young ward. This collection includes Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1-3, Lemire and Nguyen's full story.Award-winning Canadian cartoonist Jeff Lemire is the creator of the acclaimed monthly comic book series Sweet Tooth, published by DC/Vertigo, and the award-winning graphic novel Essex County, published by Top Shelf.
