"Roy Harper. Stage three clinger."
"Come on, Jaybird."
Wonderful, those two. Roy calling Jason 'Jaybird' and even though Jason threatened him, he just continues :3
I like Red Hood and The Outlaws. It's amazing to see how those three individuals start to get close to each other. Soon, they will call each other 'friends'... ^.^
Even Kory, who is always so high and mighty starts to warm up not only to Jason but also to Roy, which I think is wonderful because I never really could stand her. I know that a lot of people adore her character but I only knew the somehow-annoying Teen Titans Cartoon version. That's not necessarily a bad character but I like the tough one in Red Hood now :)
Many people complain that Kory is portrayed as slut - and really, even in the last comics she was - but the latest issue showed her strong side, even though she had to be rescued by Roy, I thought she was cool and I'm very picky about female characters.
Kory is cool.
And Roy... Oh, Roy... He's funny and makes bad jokes, whispers with Kory behind Jason's back, calls him Jaybird... Wonderful.
I don't know too much about his character, since I never read Green Arrow or anything, but I have a small grasp of his character from Young Justice and videos and stuff. And he was always somehow so serious. Sure, he lost his daughter and his arm, no wonder he's serious. Everyone would be serious.
But even in Young Justice he's always ANGRY.
But in Red Hood, he's kind of a goof and the group needs that. He's kind of the 'reason' why I continue reading, even though I started because of Jason. Because, like in Batman & Robin, it was cool because Damian was serious and Dick was funny, now it isn't anymore because no one makes jokes anymore and they are all so serious! Geez... That's why I'm thankful for Roy's character.
Roy is cool.
And finally Jason. Haaah... where should I start?
Jason... was the reason I started reading Red Hood and the Outlaws. He is one of my favorite characters since I watched Under the Red Hood and I started to research him. I cried at his death and his rebirth, it's one of the saddest stories ever. And now, he starts his own life without wanting to impress Batman anymore. He's finally free.
And in Red Hood, he is this slightly cynical character who has a soft side. Oh, and it's wonderful how he flirts with women and doesn't realize his charm. All the banters with Roy, and his smiles, I relish the new Jason Todd.
Again, I heard people complaining about Scott Lobdell and how he writes Jason, but I have to say, I like it. He's not angry anymore but at peace. He doesn't life in the past anymore and that is alright. There would be no room for him to grow if he still brooded about his past. The way Scott writes him gives him room to grow, to discover new sides of him.
Jason is cool.
And don't get me started about this beautiful art. Kenneth Rocafort has a way of drawing sharp eyes and the compliment especially Jason.
His lightly messy way of outlining is a wonderful addition to the beautiful colors and the way he draws expressions is simply astouning.
I'm so glad he is the artist of Red Hood and the Outlaws.
In conclusion: Red Hood and the Outlaws is fucking amazing and I will never listen to people who tell me otherwise. I respect you opinion but don't shove it in my face, I don't want to hear about it.
Miya out.
