Red Hood and the Outlaws (comic)
·
5 on "Red Hood and the Outlaws" gets a new writerTalon isn't the only book that James Tynion IV is leaving in 2014. Will Pfeifer will be taking over for Tynion on the New 52 series Red Hood and the Outlaws starting with issue #29 this March. However, Tynion will not be leaving Gotham altogether, he's instead devoting his attention to the new weekly series Batman…
Nearly all of the volume 3 New 52 Bat-titles were labeled "Death of the Family" but Red Hood and the Outlaws is one of the only books to really deserve it. This is Death of the Family material through-and-through. Not only are you getting the actual Death of the Family tie-in issues, but this TPB…
Real talk, Bat-fans, do you guys really like the New 52 direction for Jason Todd? I really want to hear your thoughts in the comments below. I'll get to the review in a minute but I want to address this first. Let's face it, this review is late anyway so who cares, am I right?…
In these stories from RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #0 and 14-17 and TEEN TITANS #15-16, it’s Red Hood and Red Robin vs. The Joker! And how will the death of Damian Wayne drive Batman into battle against Jason Todd? Find out when Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 3: Death of the Family goes…
I'm done. I'm out. If I want to read a fringe bat-title with a mysticism angle then I'll pick up the better-drawn Batwoman title. Writer James Tynion IV has taken Red Hood and the Outlaws too far in a direction that I don't find interesting in the slightest. At least when Lobdell sent the trio…
It seems to me like Lobdell exited the wrong book. While I found both volumes of the New 52 Teen Titans to be abysmal, author Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws was one of the most fun Bat titles that I could find. With Volume 2 I was a little put off by the…
There was no downtime after the Matt Kindt interview. In fact, I was actually supposed to interview James Tynion IV first but things were running late on DC's end and the schedule got switched around a bit. Now I was set to be Tynion's final interview of the day. I had to talk to him…
Oh what a difference an inker makes! In my reviews of the previous issues illustrated by Julius Gopez I've time and time again commented on how ugly some panels looked, but in issue #22 there are several pages in which Gopez leaves inking duties to Ray McCarthy and having an actual professional inker make the…
I was very excited to see Hugo Strange on the cover. I love that villain. I was particularly thrilled with how he was utilized in the Arkham City video game until the ending [spoiler] Having him turn out to be a pawn of Ra's Al Ghul was an unnecessary twist. The game was a brilliant…
Some readers like an annual that's a stand-alone, done-in-one tale while others want it to be an extra long special that goes deeper into the ongoing story. If you're looking for an easily accessible, stand-alone story then I suggest you pick up Batman: The Dark Knight Annual #1. If you're wanting something that moves the…
I was so certain that when Tynion took over this book we would have something really amazing on our hands. Talon is loads of fun and, besides the Batman/Superman team-up in the last two issues of Batman, I have enjoy enjoyed his backup story contributions immensely. But his first arc in Jason Todd's comic seems…
Issue #19 may be the beginning of a new creative team's run but it's not the fresh start that many new readers were hoping for. First thing's first, what happened to the awesome cover? Not only did artist Mico Suayan's interiors get thrown out but his original cover featuring a heavily scarred Jason Todd was…
The final issue of Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws is without a doubt his best. First let me get to the bad news. This comic has diddly squat to do with Damian. It may say "REQUIEM" on the cover, but this is 100% Death of the Family aftermath. Even Arsenal and Starfire aren't…
This was one of the shortest reads I've experienced in a while. I actually found myself flipping back to make sure I hadn't skipped over any pages. I don't even think it took 10 minutes to get through but I think a big part of that is the artwork, which is definitely not good. There…
Red Hood and The Outlaws #17 is the best issue of Teen Titans that I've ever read. Yes, this is a filler issue, but it was a fairly enjoyable filler issue. If you're coming into this hoping for Jason Todd's emotional confrontation with the Joker then you're probably going to hate this comic completely. Seriously,…
I'm pretty disappointed with this one. Let's face it, the death of Jason Todd was one of the Joker's greatest feats of villainy. So was the crippling of Barbara Gordon and the murder of Sarah Essen. With the New 52 all of that has been wiped away. Sarah Essen may not have existed and No…
Yeah, there are a lot of aliens and magic and yeah, I still think the Batman mythology would be a lot stronger if Jason was still dead, but once I accepted those things I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The villains are never that threatening and there's never a feeling of there being that much at…
Leon, Josh, and Robej, consistent readers of the site, asked about this book last week and suggested I pick it up and write a review. So I did. You may notice that I usually don't review Red Hood & the Outlaws unless it's a Jason-heavy episode and it turns out that this was an un-official…
I have a lot of problems with Jason Todd. It's never made much sense to me why Batman would ever enlist this kid in his war on crime. The story has always been that Batman found some little boy trying to steal the tires off the Batmobile so he decided "I'll take him in and…
What we have here is a fun and exceptionally well-drawn series that stays pretty consistent. I don't usually review it because it's not very "Batman" (except for a moment in issue #3 which is one of the best Bat-moments in any book yet in the New 52), but I have read the entire series so…
