A review by sans
Red Hood and the Outlaws, Volume 1: Redemption by Scott Lobdell
2.0
I've been pondering this book for the past couple days, trying to figure out what I think of it. What struck me the most is what a big deal was made over Kori sleeping with both Jason and Roy. And how ridiculous her costume is. Her boots are literally 80% of it. But back to the issue that's bugging me the most.
The repetition of this fact felt forced. Like Lobdell (via Roy) was saying "wow, look what a slut Kori is, but it's ok because she's proud of it so that makes me pro feminism!". I'm the first to admit that I get touchy about things like this. I try to not get on my soap box too much, but when this fact is really the only thing I remember two days after reading it...
I've already got the rest of the books, so I'll read them. I really hope this was a one off and there isn't a "Kori is the team bicycle" theme running through the series. I'm perfectly happy for Kori to take her pleasure where and when she wants to. I'm just not ok with Lobdell harping on it through other characters.
