More like Red BOOB and the Outlaws.

After last weeks stunner Superboy I was really looking forward to see what Scott Lobdell would breast… uh mean…bring to the table with Jason Todd, Arsenal, and Starfire. Superboy was a such a great kazonga…uh mean… comic, done in a classic style of story telling that it made me fan of Lobdell.

Red Hood and the Outlaws may change all that.

I know I’m in danger of sounding like my parents here but, “IS THIS WHAT OUR KIDS ARE READING THESE DAYS?!”

I’m no prude by a long shot, but really, do you need to have Starfire prance around in the smallest bikini on earth and fuck anything that moves? There is a word for girls like her, it rhymes with “butt”.

Speaking of butts, “BUT what about the story” you ask? Well for a new reader there is nothing to let you know where these characters came from. Is Jason Todd a bad guy? A good guy? Is he really crazy? Nothing about Roy Harper and his past as a drug addict, and Starfire, well who needs to know anything about her and her history, her hopes and fears, when you have titties like those in your face? I have no idea why these people are together. We are told jack shit about fuck-all.

Hey Ken Rocafort! Get the hell off of this comic as quick as you can! You awesome art is wasted here!

This is stupidest team book I have ever read. Red Hood is a Deadpool rip-off and Marvel should fucking sue. Fuck, I should sue DC to get my 2.99 back.

Fuck fuck fuck.

Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 4 - Very Good

  1. While you have a very… interesting review style, it was full of the information I was looking for – mainly if I loved Superboy last week, should I read Red Hood this week. You’ve answered that question for me, although I still may pick it up next month when it drops a buck, just to be sure. You sir, however, have saved me a dollar.

    • haha, thanks dude. I’ll be the first to admit my reviews are sometimes “not the norm”, but I do however try and make them fun to read.

      Take that 2.99 I saved you and go get a grande frapachino at Starbucks bro. 😉

  2. Yes this book is crap.

  3. Red Hood isn’t a rip off of Deadpool, that’s preposterous. And even if he was, Marvel would have no grounds to sue because Deadpool is an admitted rip-off of Deathstroke.

    • Bro, DC even gave the Red Hood “EYES” now so he can make oh so funny faces while fighting – ala Deadpool.

    • He’s had eyes on some of his various masks before.

    • I think this is clearly DC’s new52 bid for Deadpool’s turf. The mask thing is obviously overt but mainly the tone is a dead ringer .

      Red Hood traditionally is a blank half a tylenol gel cap is he not? The recent jason todd one adds deadpooly eyes post deadpool explosion no?

    • @ResurrectionFlan: He’s worn many different helmets over the years. He’s had eyes in his mask for a while. It’s got nothing to do with Deadpool.

    • Coner, it may not have anything to do with Deadpool but you have to admit you see the resemblance?

      and for the record, the last Deadpool comic I read was back in like 93 or something, so my comparison was based solely on appearances. But I think that is enough for fans of Deadpool’s type of action to pause at the comic rack, pick up Red Hood and the Outlaws, and flip through until they see Starfires breastesess. BOING! Sold!

      😉

    • It’s not the mask, tonally it’s all Deadpool.

  4. good art, but i hate these characters, seriously, why did they have to make starfire a slut?? this was not needed. the art was good, but the story lacks, assholes and sex shouldnt be the only thing you have to offer in a book.

  5. In my review I mentioned that the dialogue at times resembles two air-headed frat boys jabbering. Not interested at all.
