Redhood: Lost Days 6 of 6

I LOVE this series.  All of it.  Yes, there are things that could have been done better, but there always is.  Overall I'm just ecstatic to have MY Jason back!  Woohoo!  Now, what follows is my response to a lot of criticism I've been seeing on various boards.

To the last point... Wouldn't he be dead? He 'dies' in the Death and the Maidens storyline, right?

But shows up in Hush? I'm not clear on it myself, so I'm not sweating it either way.

Beh. Ra's is never quite clear on the life and death issue. it's like part of his character.

I am a little confused about people treating Talia like a "Virgin Mary" or "mother figure" though. I mean, I don't know her very well, but it most of the comics I've seen her in she's been about as black widowish as they come. How very odd.

The mother figure I can see, given the stat of the Redhood: Lost Days. But even so, Jason has MASSIVE daddy AND mommy issues AND is healthy teenage male. So....meh. Yes, it's fucked up, but I think that's entirely the point. For both of them.

As for Talia=The Virgin Mary.....I got nothing on that one. Seriously, where do people come up with this stuff? One person on one of the forums commented that he thought it was evidence of shipper bias, and I think he might have been onto something.

I'm betting Judd fucked up the timeline, personally.

Wait, I'm confused. It's possible to read Morrison's Bat stuff without getting lost?

"Wait, I'm confused. It's possible to read Morrison's Bat stuff without getting lost?"

So people keep telling me. Usually with some snide remark about my lack of intelligence thrown in for good measure -_-

I guess you just have to have read comic ever and take some LSD for good measure.

LOL! I have some T3's I can take, would that count?
