I’ve received a few questions about the Brothers in Blood storyline and the canonical nature of Jason’s tentacles. So I’d like to invite you all to come with me on a magical journey back to summer 2006. The greatest cinematic accomplishment of our time, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, has just arrived in theaters. Zinedine Zidane is in Germany, and he’s getting ready to headbutt some chooch. People care about Paris Hilton.

Meanwhile, in the world of comics, Infinite Crisis is over. Devin Grayson has just finished her run on Nightwing, and Bruce Jones is taking the helm. It’s time for Nightwing 118-124, the Brothers in Blood storyline.

Jason Todd is dressing up as Nightwing and killing criminals for shits and giggles because he’s a bastard who likes to piss Dick off. Dick, meanwhile, is so distraught that he grows out his hair in a frankly unacceptable way, and—as always—seeks comfort in the arms of a nearby redhead.

In this case, that’s Cheyenne Freemont, a telekinetic metahuman who’s opted to become a fashion designer rather than use her powers for crime or crimefighting or whatever. For poorly explained reasons, after sleeping with Dick, she designs a line of superhero themed streetwear and spends much of this storyline running around in her very own Nightwing suit, with special modifications so she can more easily reapply deodorant, probably.

If you’re keeping track, there are three people dressed as Nightwing in this storyline. Nothing matters.

The villains of the storyline are the Pierce brothers, evil nightclub-owning twins. They’re brothers! Dick and Jason are sorta brothers! I guess that’s apt. Anyway, they hire a tentacle monster named Jakob. Jakob eats Jason and regurgitates him. It’s pretty hot.

Cheyenne kills Jakob, and Jason ends up with temporary tentacle powers which he obviously proceeds to use for fun and profit.

Jason goes after the Pierce brothers, strangling them a bit, eating one of them at one point, it’s basically an unfettered orgy of tentacle violence.

In the end, Jason’s powers supposedly go away off-panel: they wear off—he explains this in a telegram, because they used to send telegrams in the olden days of 2006, I guess. The Pierce brothers, Jakob, and Cheyenne never show up again. There are no repercussions. Dick buys a brand of cereal called Corn Bang. His hair remains unacceptable.

Now you’re all caught up. You’re welcome.
