Red Hood: The Lost Days is a cohesive stand alone story that also adds and expands on Jason Todd's transition from death to his identity as the Red Hood.
The writing works really well, both in creating single issues that function themselves and towards a cohesive whole. There is a good balance of exploring emotion as well as action, and where I often feel that having a character continually narrate in a comic can at best explain the obvious, I found the narration worked really well as it sounded...more

Pretty Gritty! I really like this spin on the "Red-Hood" and the cool action sequences and one-liners although at times are cheesy for me, still manages to keep me flipping to the next page. "Red Hood" is "Dexter" in a superhero suit!
Dexter + The Punisher = "THE RED-HOOD"

I just finished reading the Red Hood: the Lost Days compilation of the six issue mini-series. This is the story of the dead Robin - Jason Todd who dug his way out of his grave, was a fighting zombie for a while and then was actually brought back to life by Talia Al Ghul. She helps Jason recover and train all the while stalling and hoping he would not actually try and kill Batman. Jason’s training is often done by very bad men and woman. People he eventually turns on in a non-Batman like way. The...more
Judd Winick returns with another book of his character, the Red Hood, aka Jason Todd (formerly the second Robin), this time addressing the years in between returning from the dead to when he shows up in Gotham – presumably for the events in “Under the Red Hood” (recommended by the by).
The “Lost Days” are what you’d expect. Nurtured from the grave by Talia Al’Ghul (who wouldn’t you know it has an ulterior motive!), Jason goes from combat expert to combat expert learning the finer points of shooti...more

I'm just gonna say it...I love Jason Todd!
Jason Todd is one of the most brilliant modern adaptions of a character in the Bat universe besides Damian Wayne.
While I didn't love Jason Todd as Robin, I became a big fan of him once he came back from the dead:-)
No one writes Jason Todd quite like Judd Winick and thankfully due to the success of "Under the Hood" by Winick (which builds off of the open door of bringing Jason Todd back opened by Jeph Loeb in Hush), "The Lost Days" explores what happened...more

I never fully understood why DC felt the need to bring Jason Todd back from the dead 'for real.'. I liked the idea during 'HUSH' that Batman thought Jason was back, but the reality that it was never made sense. I was hoping this arc would shed some light on the How? and Why?
It doesn't, especially on the former.
We are still left wondering how Jason ended up wandering the streets after clawing his way out of the grave, asking the same questions Ra's al Ghul poses many times during the first chapte...more

This covers the five years between Jason crawling out of his grave and then coming back to Gotham to make Bruce avenge him. It's heartbreaking and wonderful and the art is really lovely. I feel terrible for Jason, who just wants to know that Bruce loved and missed (and avenged) him, and Talia is there orchestrating his journey through learning how to be even more dangerous, aiming him like a weapon to make Bruce pay (the bit where she tells him about Tim and his responses both public and...more

Really I though Judd Winick had lost it as a writer and I mourned for his writing not being up to the standards of Barry Ween, Frumpy, Pedro. Especially, when he got drawn into the resurrection of Jason Todd storyline as a work for hire writer. I had heard this was a good series, so I picked up the trade. Winick glosses over how Todd survived the Joker's beating all of those years ago (when a telephone poll led to DC Comics to kill Todd off). We get the tale that sows Todd's travels from near de...more
It's an understatement to say the return of Jason Todd (the Robin readers voted to have killed off by the Joker in the 80s) was ridiculously convoluted. That said, he's proven pretty interesting in his Red Hood identity - a lethal version of his former mentor, Batman. In this volume, Judd Winick tells the tale of the immediate years following his resurrection - training with bad, bad people (including Talia al Ghul), fomenting his bitterness against Batman, and occasionally finding that spark of...more
Let me just pick my heart up off the floor.
You see, here you are shown the formerly dead second Robin, who had been brutally beaten with a crowbar by The Joker and left to die, as a now resurrected Jason Todd, go from a zombie-like vagrant to taken under wing by a (imo) RUTHLESS Talia al Ghul, encouraged on a path of training that will eventually lead to his becoming of the uber-vigilant, highly skilled terrorist - the Red Hood.
But while this story fills in what happened to Jason after coming ba...more
This book is the perfect way to fall in love with Jason Todd. Basically, if after this you still can't find it in your heart to love him, there is no hope. It gives the perfect insight, the art is beautiful, and the story is beautiful. It could've done without the Talia but she played a significant part so really that's just me disliking a character. This hurts my heart, but I've re-read it at least twice since I originally read it. I can't stay away. Jason Tod is my favorite Robin and now my fa...more
Before watching Under the Red Hood, I knew very little about Jason Todd. I knew there was a Robin that had died, but being as I was never a big DC fan growing up, I never read about his death or even had much insight on the character. I enjoyed the movie Under the Red Hood, and it prompted me to read more about the history of the character and find out about his return.
I'm not a fan of comics bringing back characters whose deaths have such a strong impact on the other characters involved. To me,...more

The funny thing about Jason Todd being a villain/anti-hero, is that outside of Batman comics he'd be a hero. He fights bad guys, but he kills them too. He'd fit right in with The Authority. This book, along with the original Red Hood trade, is a must read for Jason fans, and I think even those who aren't his biggest supporter would get something out of it too.
I usually don't care for dead characters coming back (even though it's inevitable!). I thought this was REALLY WELL DONE, though! I never liked Jason Todd as Robin! I fucking love him as The Red Hood! there's one plot point I thought was ridiculous! since when did Jason have an Oedipus complex? Red Hood is a badass, though! Batman to the extreme!
Jason Todd returned from the dead - and this volume fills in how he got from six feet under to a thorn in his former Bat-mentor's side. Showcasing his finding by Talia, training by various shady trade masters, and a confrontation with the Clown who killed him, this book shows why Judd Winick is a master at characterization.
Really liked this story. Kind of a mix between an origin story and a year one story but still leaves enough vagueness to add infinitely more origin tales. Details some of Talia's involvment in the return of Jason Todd. Pablo Raimondi and Jeremy Haun made great artistic contributions in this work.
Pretty repetitive and kind of rushed. However, the art is gorgeous and it sets up both "Hush" and the "Under the Red Hood" film nicely (though the events in the film don't happen the way they do in this book). If you like either "Hush" or "Under the Red Hood," you'll probably enjoy this.
3.5 stars. I loved the idea of Robin as an anti-hero. Could have been executed a bit better. We never got to see him in the red hood neither, except in the cover gallery. I was lookin' forward to that.
expected less, got more. decent story, good art. jason todd went from bad character, to dead character, to decent character. all in one book.
This is the most sympathetic I've ever seen Jason Todd presented as, and it's the most enjoyment I've had reading about him.
If you like Jason Todd you're going to like the story as it's his origin story of sorts as the new Red Hood.
Wow! I loved this volume that bridges that gap in the Jason Todd story. He's wonderfully conflicted, believing that what he does is right and pushing ever onward.
Nice!
Nice!
Must read if you love Jason and into the new revamp they have done to him.
Slightly entertaining read of Jason Todd's slow descent into a bad guy.
Interesting backstory - liked the way it weaved into a lot of different arcs and timelines.
Not a huge fan, but at least it didn't suck.
I'm probably biased considering Jason Todd is my favourite character, but I love Lost Days and I recommend it to all Jason fans. Judd Winick treats the character with respect while still showing us the gritty life Jason lived while still just a child, really, and it's wonderful and heartbreaking. I'm sorry are my feelings showing?
Library copy. Great pacing; Winick always writes Batbooks well.
If you'd ever wondered what happened to Jason Todd after he "rose from the dead", this book tells it in glorious detail.
