No sooner has Batman's former sidekick, Jason Todd, put his past as the Red Hood behind him than he finds himself cornered by a pair of modern day outlaws: Green Arrow's rejected sidekick Arsenal, the damaged soldier of fortune, and the alien Starfire, a former prisoner of intergalactic war who won't be chained again.
As a loner, Jason has absolutely no interest in this motley crew of outlaws. So what's he going to do when they choose the Red Hood as their leader? Find out in this hot new series from writer Scott Lobdell (WILDC.A.T.S, Uncanny X-Men), featuring art by rising star Kenneth Rocafort (ACTION COMICS)!

"What the hell were they thinking?" is an appropriate reaction. If you don't count the sexist drawings of Starfire (which is a big negative, one among several), the art is commendable. The story, not so much. The tone tries to be light-hearted, but seemingly oblivious to that being impossible with a character like Red Hood. Moreover, the humor is pretty bad. If you're going in that direction, you should make sure your witty banter doesn't sound like canned jokes from a bad sitcom. There is potential in telling a story about what Jason Todd did immediately after being resurrected, but it'll have to be done better than this issue.
When I saw that The Red Hood was going to get his own comic series, I thought it was going to be great, I was excited and eager for the series. When I read Issue one of Red Hood and the Outlaws, I honestly wasnt sure what to say. It was neither good or bad, my review on this series will go on, but with issue one believe me, it wasnt anything great, not worth cover price.
I like the Outlaws Team but I hope there will be more members added.
