Jason and Tim.... a different kind of brotherly first meeting....
Jason and Tim first meet.

Not exactly brotherly love at first sight....

From Teen Titans 29, written by Geoff Johns. Posting after talking with both lipsofpoison and runespoor7. (Seven & a half scans I believe)

Jason's snuck into the Teen Titans tower. He doesn't want to be bothered, obviously, so has to knock out the rest of the team.
This is the first time we really hear Jason's inner voice. He knocks out Cyborg and Beast Boy, saying since he never really worked with them, he doesn't *entirely* feel bad for knocking them out the way he does.

I really like the way Johns wrote Jason's inner monologue. This conflicted sense of self and also not completely without some compassion (the way he puts Raven out)

THE YELLOW TIGHTS.... JASON WHY CAN'T YOU DRESS YOURSELF?!

Jason goes into the hall of fallen Titans and asks where his memorial statue is. "I was a Titan, too!"

And Jay leaves Tim there on the floor.

I really, really don't think Jason went there to kill Tim whatsoever. It was more of a test. Test of mettle, merit, w/e. But I guess, in Jason's off-kilter mind, Tim passed.

	THIS was the Jason Todd I loved! his evolution was the best part of Countdown, until they backpedaled! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, I'd've been happy if Jay had stuck to his "capes are for suckers" philosophy for a while, got his head on straight. Maybe gone the Nightwing route and become a non-Bat hero. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I totally loved that. Countdown was crap, but Jason was good. I really liked the way they used him. And then... well, we know what happened... Good bye, well written Jason. We'll miss you... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	IIRC, he had some funding on the downlow from Talia during the Red Hood period, and didn't Red Hood pull some burglary jobs at first? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	HAHAHAHA YES. Awww. Jay. You little show-off. I don't think there is. But his latest one with the vibrator helmet thingy is weird. (And yeah, there's no way that's not him in B&R #3 and #4. I mean c'mon.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you don't want to be Robin again, Jay, than how do you explain the scaly green panties? Because he doesn't want to have ever stopped being Robin. (Reply to this) (Parent)
