Red Hood and the Outlaws, Volume 1: Redemption by Scott Lobdell
3.0
3.5
I was a little bored at times but overall, the story was entertaining. I'm still fairly new to Jason Todd's character and the writing for him was a little bland but mostly interesting. I liked seeing his loyalty and dedication to Ducra, the All Caste and Roy, even.
The action scenes were well drawn and entertaining. Roy was definitely a bright spot. Starfire was... okay. I like character and I love seeing her kick ass here. Her outfit will never stop bothering the hell out of me. The writing and how the other men treated her bugged me. It felt like every fanboy's wet dream.
Anyway, I liked that there wasn't any slutshaming. I hated that there was a small plot with a boy taking photos of her and posting them because he thought she was hot but other than that, the writing was fine. It was the outfit that offended me.
The best part were the flashbacks to everyone's happiest memories. Especially Jason's with Bruce. My heart melted.
If I check out the second volume, I'll borrow it from the library because I'm not that i vested.
