Red Hood and the Outlaws #2

[superboyprime]

Oh, and it looks like Red Robin's not the only member of the family to get wings.

Comments

[jar]

... And to think, I'd heard people say this was significantly better than the first issue.

[wtfomfg2]

"I thought the term was 'buns.'" Oh Jason, still living in your older brother's shadow even in the DCnU, huh?

[biod]

Looking awefully young and white there, Talia.

[runespoor]

Jason Todd in a business suit. My world has been turned upside down.

I don't think refusing to talk about the fact that they had sex is the right way to go; one thing I found likeable about issue 1 was that sex was established as a non-issue. (Why suddenly switch to "you're a dead man"? Notice, I'm assuming that what they're talking about. Maybe Jason and Kori think Roy is going to comment on that. Maybe Roy was going to talk about something else and the others guessed right.)

I quite like the three-thoudand year old master ninja lady with a kitty barrette. The lettering is an interesting touch, too.

[thatnickguy]

Impressive buns?

So I guess she hasn't met Nightwing yet in this universe.

[janegray]

Ok, I like this.

I don't love it. But I like it enough to keep reading.

[an_idol_mind]

Are any of these characters supposed to interest me?

[theredhood]

I DO wish that they stopped drawing the flat nose and moth into the mask though. They're not there from side profile, so they're drawn on - why draw those one to make yourself look less menacing? The red helmet with black rimmed eyes looks great; leave it be.

[nezchan]

If nothing else, that "buns" line is probably the most forced thing I've seen in a long time. Adding the "totally human way" bit just pushes it into hopelessly stilted. The author needs to hang his head in shame at that one.

[rdfox]

As I said before...

I'm still not touching this crap with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole. Even if they did hastily redo the dialogue after the backlash last month, all the fundamental flaws of completely and utterly *failing* to get the characters remain.

To borrow a phrase, it's not schway, it's schwarbage.

[moetushie]

Now I wonder what would constitute an impressive ass in a totally alien way.


I'm probably better off not knowing.

[cypherfdp]

That last page is so fucking 90's, it's ridiculous.

[sallymustard]

If Kory is super sexually liberated and doesn't even give a fuck, why would she care if Roy wants to talk about that?

[jaybee3]

An slight improvement over the slightly misogynst OOC target-to-fraboys and fans of 90s Xtreme comics first issue isn't saying much. The art is pretty wonky in places (and compared to some of the stuff DC is putting out like the Superman books, Birds of Prey is not that pretty period) and I still have no interest in any of these 3 characters (especially Roy as written here) and why they are together.

[tsunamiwombat]

Huh, why is Starfire dressed like it's the 80's.

[big_daddy_d]

Roy Harper. He doens't need any stinkin wings or a parachute!

[shadur]

... Am the only one who thinks Kory looks hotter in that miniskirt, suit and shades combo than in her battlekini?

[eyz]

So.. they didn't cancel this one yet? Make it stop and go away...give us Giffen's Doom Patrol back!
Or a new Shadowpact!
Or at least one humor title! (Angel and the Ape anyone?)

[wizardru]

The artwork...it's....ummm.

Well, I guess moving from 'Total Drek' to 'Drek' counts as an improvement, then mission accomplished.

[kenn_el]

So was Roy addicted to heroin for a week or two in the NewU?
