It always has been, he doesn’t know how to live another life. Because Jason did what he was there for, he slew the monster, fought the Untitled, and now everyone expects him to just stop fighting–and he’s just like, “Uh yeah, no.” Jason’s life is an endless war. I don’t remember if that was something we knew already or something we learn here, but I think it’s interesting that he basically completed the prophecy and moved on. Internally Jason says “When you’ve died once already–stared at the actual gates of hell–and clawed your way back through six feet of dirt? When you stare at a monster? Nine times out of ten… they’ll blink first.” Damn.Īnd then the monster, who calls himself “The Devourer of Young Souls”, asks Jason why the heck Ducra chose to send some kid after him, to which Jason says, “She didn’t choose me, she didn’t send me, but she knew better than to try to stop me!” Damn.Īpparently Jason is literally a child of prophesy among the All-Caste. Honestly unless he does something a lot worse than what he’s been doing, I don’t personally actually fault Jason or think he’s a monster? Like let’s be real here, the guy gets results. There is just so much foreshadowing that Jason is setting himself up for a fall, I’m just not sure how it’s going to shake out yet. 2) It’s actually pretty damn relevant to what is happening in the plot right now, with Jason fighting monsters (Gotham’s rogues) and Jason dipping into that pool of being a monster himself. Now this is actually a pretty awesome thing because 1) It’s Jason being a literature nerd, which is what sustains my life. And when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” This is juxtaposed by Jason literally fighting a bigass monster as a teen in the All-Caste. He quotes Neitzsche, “ Whoever battles monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster himself. Right off the bat (hur hur) we flashback to Jason’s time with the All-Caste. This issue was kind of filler and recap to be honest, but I’m always down for finding out more ways that Jason is awesome and we did get a little bit of that here, so let’s jump in to the review!
