Red Hood and the Outlaws #3

xkoenig's Red Hood and the Outlaws #3 - Cherish is the Word I Use--to Destroy You! review

Strange but fun

Scott Lobdell has a very strange way of writing, I have to say. It's almost as if he thinks we know everything that's going on and why people are doing things without having to back it up or justify it or lead us into it. And so it is here as the gang launch into the next step on their journey. Don't get me wrong, this is fun, and the art is sensational, except for a very awkward final page. But the dialog just jumps in with characters talking in half-sentences, talking about things but missing off the first half (or more) of a real explanation of what's going on. Yes it's not realistic to expect too much talking because people don't talk about what they're doing while they're at it, but this comic comes off a bit odd for it.

So I still don't know if I like Jason, and I still don't know if I buy these three being friends for real (again I say: why?). Flesh it out more, Scott and we'll see.

I was really shocked how great the story was. The past two issues weren't my favorite but this issue has proved ...

Red Hood and the Outlaws takes a closer look at its cast while the plot takes a back seat, making this the strongest issue of the series thus far. The strength of this book lies in its characters, so it can only be a good thing the more character-centric the stories get.The hook of this issue is that we get to see each of the characters' most cherished memories via circumstances that the plot provides. What makes this work so well is that, for the most part, Scott Lobdell doesn't go the predicta...
