Red Hood and the Outlaws

Red Hood and the Outlaws Death of the Family

"Red Hood-- former Robin, resurrected and looking for a reason to live again. Starfire-- alien princess confounding her teammates with the mystery of her own memories. Arsenal-- former sidekick who hit rock-bottom and is still trying to bounce back. These three deeply damaged heroes have found refuge in their unlikely partnership-- but can they pull together enough to save the world? A war has begun between the mystic All Caste that trained Red Hood and the ancient evil of the Untitled-- with Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire caught squarely in the middle. Now the Outlaws will have to battle reanimated warriors, genetically enhanced xenophobes and unkillable assassins in order to make sense of the battle they've found themselves in"--P. [4] of cover v. 1.

Oh wow. Death of the Family was an amazing arc in DC's Bat Family, but I think this is my favorite storyline in it. While for Batman and Nightwing, it was heart-wrenching, and for Batgirl and Robin it was was just a little piece of the bigger storyline going on, for Red Robin and Red Hood it was huge. Their respective teams were thrown upside down as their leaders were both abducted, forcing them to work together for the bigger picture. Red Robin's team began to understand the boy behind the mask, and why he does as he does. But for Red Hood it was deeper. It was truly personal. Each of them faced their demons, had to come to terms with something in their past now facing them in their present, but Red Hood's past has been his present. And now he has to face it. I loved the character development here, as Jason has to swallow some pains he's been dealing with since he woke up alive again years before. And I love that Jason starts to take steps forward. My favorite part has to be the final page. I also adored that Jason reached out to Damien, the one who honestly has the most in common with him. I enjoyed the foreshadowing to his sad storyline that comes to a head in Batman Inc. Volume 2. It showed just a little more into a side of Damien he doesn't like to admit he has, even in his own comic Batman and Robin. All in all, I think this flowed as well as Batman, Nightwing, and Batgirl, but had a little more heart. It wasn't so heartbreaking and added some hope in a dark plot. Amazing read!
