Red Hood and the Outlaws, Volume 1: Redemption by Scott Lobdell

4.0

This is the first thing I picked up in the New 52 from DC and of course I don't pick it up until after the decide to launch a New New 52 because being a fan of comics is a frustrating thing. I don't know why I picked this title up over anything else, Red Hood, or Jason Todd is only my third favorite Robin and so a Nightwing or Teen Titles title with Dick or Tim would have made more sense but I picked this one up last night. (I know third favorite Robin sounds low but really there have been at least Robins counting Carrie Kelley from Dark Knight who is my least favorite so he is in the top half. That was more information than needed. Anyway I was intrigued by idea of these three characters together. I really like the direction of Jason Todd and Starfire but I really don't like the Arsenal/Roy Harper character but it isn't enough to ruin the book for me. In fact he is probably a better foil to Todd with this version of the character than the traditional Harper version. All in all I liked Lodbell's book, it was quick, stylish, and fun, exactly what I wanted.
