2.5**Um anyways
This volume was pretty good. Other than the whole League of Assassins debacle, there are some pretty solid moments in this one. I loved the insight we got into Roy's and especially Jason's past. One thing I really hated were all the sexist subtleties that were present. Other than that there are some golden moments.

The series is definitely better now that James Tynion has taken over. I'd still love to see it steer more toward the direction the Outsiders book took when Nightwing was leading the team in the old DC Universe.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this graphic novel. The first half really dove into Roy Harper's character, and the more I read about him, the more he's quickly moving his way up my favorite characters list. He's so completely broken--but somehow, despite all odds, he's still also fiercely loyal. I enjoy the humor that can come with him as well--which stands in stark comparison to how damaged he truly his. In short: he's a well-developed, interesting character that has been written...
Jason Toddthis is a great story, I like the turn red hood has received. if you as are looking for a good read, pick up ASAP
I always say it but i do love jason and roy and i do enjoy reading these volumes even though the story is not always the strongest, or the most exciting i just love the whole dynamic of harper and todd! But wait a minute what about starfire? She was barely in this where as the past volumes had them equally sharing the pages, this does focus on jason and roy more so, and starfire just ends up being forgotten about. No wonder she branched out on her own. As is the usual case jason and roy are bein...
There is a great deal of action.All of these New 52 are must reads if your a fan of Red Hood. I really like how they go back in time to fill out details and create the story line in how those details are affecting the present. There is great action and the art is amazing. A major theme in Red Hood is Redemption and moving on from the past. So far the story has highlighted that well. There is something missing in comparison to Batman comics which is why I couldn't give a 4. I want to because of m...
Upon starting this book, my initial reaction to what I was seeing and reading was to recall the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". The story that Scott Lobdell had in the first 3 volumes of this series was amazing. The storytelling was far from broken. The art was great in the first 2 volumes, but they stuck random folks on art in volume 3. I guess you could say that the art in 3 was a little broken, but all-in-all, this has been one of the best series in the New 52. Having James Tyni...
i absolutely adore this series this is a entertaining series and i have enjoyed reading and collecting this series and highly recommend this series for any of those who may be interested in it.
Nice to see the League of Assassins in a comic. Their city looks very nice. Hope they will be able to stop Ra's. Zero year was very interesting as well. Glad that Jason got his memories back.
I have been pretty mercilous with my comic book reviews today, but I will give this one a 2 based on one aspect of the story that took up two issues......First off, this was very tough to get through. As one of the newer comic book writers, James Tynion IV's work feels very dated. It reminds me of the stuff I was reading when I was 12 (I am 32 at this point).I usually only critique the story when I write reviews of comic trades, but this had some of the worst artwork and coloring I have seen in
Not better than third volume but its good. So finally League Of Assassins made an appearence but beginning of the book isabput friendship and i recommend you to buy it with fifth volume
This volume was one of my least favorite so far. The art style was wildly inconsistent, even within the same issue/chapter. It was so jarring and it made concentrating on the story hard. I did like that we got to focus a bit more on Roy in this volume. I don’t really have much else to say about this one. 🤷♀️I think that overall this volume was just okay. So it’s getting a three out of five stars.
it was still fun as red hood has proven to be so far throught the series but it was a little scattered and all over the place also at points was boring and strange because of a slightly different back story to Jason Todd that changed what we thought we knew
I'm not really a fan of amnesia as a plot device.Too much Roy in this and I'm deducting points because Green Arrow showed up in many of his parts. What little I've seen of Green Arrow in the various series he's popped up in has made me dislike him. I just find him annoying and whiny. A couple of points get added for the Strange cameo though.This needed waaaaay more Starfire. I want more of her backstory and really any story where she's the focus.I am curious to see if there will be any lasting e...
A lot of mysticism, so not my cup of tea. A lot of sudden "we've been manipulating events the whole time" retroactive continuity revelations that stand on wobbly support, and a lot of willingness to accept characters changing sides. Maybe I've been reading too many thoughtful thrillers lately, where the pieces fit snuggly, that I don't like the comic-book logic today.
How. How? How did Tynion IV write something this bad? Was he still new here? Was this his first job? Did he miss the "How To Write Witty Banter" day at comic book school? Did he use a dartboard to decide on magical amnesia as a catalyst for some of the worst issues of any series I have ever slogged through? Did no one proofread any of this? Does he just really love Roy while still thinks he's an idiot and just hates every other character?Don't get me started on the pencils. Or Cheshire. Or Ra's....
This trade paperback picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next eight issues (19–26) of the 2011 on-going series and the first of two Annuals.With Scott Lobdell stepping down from lead writer and James Tynion IV replacing him, I was hoping that this series would get a mini-reboot of sorts – a breath of fresh air with all the new blood from a new creative team and all. If it happened, I must have missed it along the way, which could be considered a good thing, because it mea...
Really enjoyed this one, a character-focused arc with some good conflict. Points off for making it another "someone's been manipulating Jason his whole life!" twist again, but for the most part I really like it Jason chooses to get his memories wiped as an attempt to be at peace - which actually works, except for the major betrayal that it is to his friends, and the consequent attack from the Untitled now that the last student of the All Caste doesn't remember what he's supposed to do. Enter the...
