Batman Annual #11 (1987)
As I mentioned, I've started reading DC comics again, more specifically Jason Todd comics. Some new ones (or at least new for me), as well as rereading old ones like this one.
And oh, if this doesn't bring on a spiral of Jason-related thoughts and FEELS... and frustration at how little effort DC makes sometimes when it comes to develop his values & morals. My issue isn't with the fact that they change from time to time -he's young, he's developing, and that's natural. But at how little though there seems to be behind the process, beyond "yeah that'll do for this one run", and especially with the lack of intent to fully develop it. Jason can think there are situations that require killing (The Joker!!) AND that some other people can be reformed, especially as a kid who grew in Crime Alley and as such, saw first hand how a lot of crime is born out of inequality and social disparity.
Just sayin'.
