    The story is literally breathtaking. It's building to something truly incredible and I'm watching this title and reading with glee. And Pete Woods always draws a good comic book. This is really fantastic and I can't wait for the next issue! Read Full Review

    What happens next? Boy, I really want to know, as I'm having the greatest time keeping up with Jason's adventures. Where will he go next? I hear you ask. Well, I have no idea but I sure as hell will be here to find out. Read Full Review

    Lobdell throws a curveball at the end of this issue, which could ruin a lot of Jason's plans, but has always been the case with Red Hood, the more trouble he's in the more exciting the story. This was another winning issue from one of the top tier Batman spin-off titles. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Daniela Mendoza May 10, 2019

    So I feel like we got a bunch of different pieces that will come together soon enough. It was a bit of a slow start but picked up and went together pretty well. Woods' art and Lokus' color came together well and I feel like their style is perfect for Red Hood comics. Read Full Review

    This issue ends with Jason heading home to one situation that I doubt he'll find surprising " pay attention to what he says on his trip " and another that might completely blind side him. Let's see what lessons he learns. Read Full Review

    GWW - Nick Friar May 8, 2019

    One tiny complaint with the art " and this might be a bit knit-picky, even for a review. Pete Woods has drawn Jason Todd, the crime boss, as a very slender character. Obviously he's still muscular, but by no means is he bulky. Then he puts on the Red Hood outfit and becomes bulkier. He's not Ben Affleck's Batman-big, but he has a little extra size. It's a small consistency issue, but one that should probably be addressed. This might not be the only time that's happened Read Full Review

    A really good time for longtime fans, possibly a bit confusing for new readers. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea May 8, 2019

    Callbacks O'Plenty going on in this issue of Red Hood: Outlaw and while I really enjoy what Lobdell is putting out there, I wish we'd focus more at the story at hand because I still have so many questions about Wingman and his obsession with getting Jason Todd back to Gotham.  This is still really fun, but I'm a little worried that with all the callbacks in this issue and how they're presented that this won't be new reader friendly.  Overall, I love the art and can't wait to see where all this goes in the long run.

    Batman-News - Brian Warshaw May 8, 2019

    I still miss Bizarro and Artemis, butRed Hood has managed to remain decent in their absence.#34 emerges from the slower, aimless stuff we've been getting recently and puts us at the outer edge of the conflict Lobdell has been simmering for some time. Solid storytelling from Woods and Lokus, and simple, functional lettering from Peteri make this one an entertaining read. Pick it up for its own merits, but especially for what's coming next.

    This is better than most recent issues, but it feels like a tease for a better series at points. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Bin - Philip Schweier May 8, 2019

    I could be wrong, but this seems to be one of those issues where pieces are being movedaround the board prior to the next great conflict. Honestly, I fail to see howthis particular chapter fits the greater narrative, so I will revisit the earlier chapters to refresh my memory. You may want to do the same beforereading this issue.
