It took me a lot longer than expected to read this. Probably shouldn't have started it during finals week. It was a perfect look at Robin Hood I loved it so much.

When I was about twelve, I got bitten hard by a literary crush on Robin Hood. I spent my summer vacation reading every single Robin Hood book my library had and renting every single Robin Hood film the local video store had. So when Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood by Tony Lee was short listed for the Cybils this year I was thrilled.
Outlaw re-imagines the Robin Hood legend and tries to take the swashbuckling camp out for a grittier and more realistic version. Unfortunately the monotone illustrations don't couldn't carry the story. Every page was so dark that the line work was hard to see.
Thinking back to when I was the age this book is intended for, I would have been disappointed. Sure, I would have read it, but I would have been wanting more swashbuckling and more romance and less grit.

Tonally off and strangely edited this Robin Hood retelling never landed for me. The language in the collection is off, like Lee occassionally forgot this story was set in 1192 and seems to jump the story forward at odd times.

This actually was a really cool comic book. I loved how it had the true story of Robin Hood not the *cough disney *cough* version. As much as I love that version this was just a really cool comic book. I usaully don't read comic books but when I do, I generally enjoy them. I would recomened this book for teens, there was a few d-words and I think one or two a-words and maybe a b-word (but I'm not sure). Other then that it was a little violent but hey it's Robin Hood, what do you expect??
Overall this was a really cool comic book about Robin Hood!

Dark update of Robin Hood, with the usual superhero type backstory. Not sure if it was the art or me but I had trouble following the characters. I think it's me and my inability to read graphic novels. That or the shadowing of the faces.
