    Red Hood and the Outlaws #15

    THE GOOD: 
    Timothy Green II provides the art in this issue are there are something that I enjoy. The action is very well done and really makes the hits and blows look painful. Some of the expressions are well done as well. The story is a mixed bag. Jason was really cool in this issue because a big part of his history is being killed by the Joker and Scott Lobdell mentions this and it feels very tragic. This issue also kinda puts Jason more on the side of good instead of bad where he should be more often. The Joker is portrayed fairly well in this issue and he makes some of his jokes that really affect Jason and make the issue that much better. 
     
    THE BAD: 
    Timothy Green II is a great artist, but not for this series. His work looks nothing like what it does in other series and that is a disappointment. The art looks very uneven throughout and makes the issue seem a little lack-luster just from appearance. The story doesn't do much to bring up the issue as well. Joker brings out everything and makes sure Jason knows that he helped create him. This change isn't a good one and they just use it the fullest extent. Roy and Starfire also take a backseat and they turn into these character that readers couldn't care less about. The end was predictable and the crossover within a crossover seems really stupid. 
     
    THE VERDICT: 3.5/5 (Good) 
    This series once again shows that it is not consistent. The past few issues have been very good and this one dropped down in quality very fast. If you like Jason, this is something that you are going to want to get. If you want to get all of the Death of the Family crossovers, this is something you have to get, but if you only want to get the  best of the tie ins, this is one to avoid and the worst one that I have read so far. Sorry, just didn't please me.

      What's Joker Got in Store for Jason, and Tim? 0

      I have really been enjoying this series, and have loved seeing Red Hood (Jason Todd) having to work as part of a team, something he's not been very good at following his death, in A Death in the Family. This is a very fun series, and I love seeing not just Red Hood, but Arsenal (Roy Harper), and Starfire also, and think that Scott Lobdell has done an amazing job of writing them.PlotThis issue sees a continuation from the last with Jason going after Joker for potentially killing Isabel Ardila.

      It Only Hurts when You LaughTo see this review with images, Click Here.There have been many crossovers in the Death of the Family story arc, but I’m not sure any of them have filled me with as much hope as this issue. I would really love to see Jason spill Joker’s brains across the ground, and though I know that will not happen, Lobdell has said that Jason will deliver quite a beating, and I guess that will have to suffice. As best as I can tell, Red Hood and Joker have not met since Under the R...
