Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen return to spotlight the early days of a very different dynamic duo, with a very different dynamic. Batman has a new Robin: a rash, impulsive, reckless kid with a troubled past, who Batman was certain he could mold into Gotham's next crime-fighter. But can the Dark Knight save Jason Todd from the darkness within himself? And when a mysterious new villain 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.
