They say the fans always wanted a voice, but did anyone expect it to go this far? In this compelling episode, join host Jesse Starcher as he revisits one of the most controversial and pivotal moments in comic book history - the shocking death of Jason Todd.
We take a look at the rise and fall of the second Robin. From Jason's troubled origins to his polarizing character arc, you'll glimpse what made this replacement hero so divisive. The episode culminates in a detailed breakdown of the legendary "A Death in the Family" storyline, including the real-world 1-900 number voting stunt that allowed fans to decide Jason's fate.
Was it a bold move to hand that power to readers or a cynical marketing ploy? Jesse examines both sides through a modern lens as he reflects on the human impact of this iconic moment. A fun listen for any Batman fan or those interested in the evolution of comics.
