Great. Personally, I didn't like Jason's portrayal; he's very emo and unpleasantly sexist, etc. However, I bought the standard cover, and after the scandal, I managed to buy other covers at a great price. Now I wait and resell.

Red Hood #1 does everything a first issue should do and does it well. It introduces our title character, the setting, and a good central conflict. The action is appropriately intense, and it does not use its mature readers label as an excuse for overt brutality. This is easily the best detective comic to come out of DC Comics in years.

Red Hood Issue 1 gives Jason Todd true independence. Taking him away from Gotham and into a brand new city provides the second Robin with his own identity. Read Full Review
Its remarkable just how quick DC was to cancel this series after her comments on the murder of radical right-wing political pundit Charlie Kirk. Not much time had passed since the man's death before the author made comment. The series cancellation wasnt that much later than that. Everything changed on this series in something like 24-48 hours. Its pretty staggering how quickly it all happened. Read Full Review
Gretchen Felker-Martin delivers a great story about the new life of Jason Todd. Red Hood #1 has the grittiness you love from the Batman comics, the action you're excited to see in DC Comics, and a killer storyline that leaves you wanting to read so much more. With a great amount of mystery surrounding the story, it's hard not to sit anxiously while waiting for the next issue to drop. Read Full Review
Red Hood #1 is a strong start to what has the potential to be a standout series. The intrigue is there, the new setting is a perfect fit, and the mystery of the cop killings is enough to hook you from the first page. With an established cast and a compelling mystery to solve, consider me excited for what comes next. Read Full Review
Videos by ComicBook.comWriter Gretchen Felker-Martin brilliantly sets the tone and overall vibe of the series in the first 5 pages, conveying the state of the city and how much of a shift the locale is from Hood's normal stomping grounds of Gotham. Read Full Review
It's a promising start, and Spokes' art is excellent, but this first issue sets up more than it delivers right out of the gate. Read Full Review
Red Hood #1 is not just another anti-hero storyits a recalibration. Grit, desperation, and violence arent window dressing; theyre the core. The creative teamFelker-Martins muscular prose, Spokess concrete-chiseled art, Careys confident ballooningcreate an atmosphere that feels lived in and unflinching. This issue isnt for those who just want to watch Jason skate by. Its for readers who want to feel what its like to carry a rifle in hand while your bones still ache from old wounds. Its a combustible cocktail of noir and superhero myth, and it leaves you standing in the asheshungry for more. Read Full Review
Jason Todd is a cool, complex character ripe for this kind of genre story, and it's sad that we'll never see the end of this. Read Full Review
Jason Todd feels right at home in the city of New Angelique and his new mature targeted solo series. Felker-Martin gives the series and its main character a voice distinct among the extended Bat-family group of titles and perhaps all of DCs anti-heroes. Red Hood #1 is a must have for fans of hardboiled and noir detective fiction. Read Full Review
DC's mature Red Hood series has hit the shelves, but the concepts it explores would work better in a DC Black Label series. Read Full Review
I think Red Hood #1 is a good start for this new series. While the story isn't anything groundbreaking, the mystery left me intrigued for the next issue. The artwork by Jeff Spokes complements the story really well. And I'm curious to see how Red Hood and Huntress' relationship develops, and I enjoy found seeing Jason in a new setting refreshing.

Gretchen is an outstanding human being who should be applauded for her principled stand against Nazi scum. The world needs more people like her.
Haven't read it yet but I came here knowing it was going to be review bombed by bigots. A happy accident for me, I accidentally ordered two of the 1:50 Jim Lee covers and those seem to be sky rocketing in value lol. I'll come back to this after I read it and adjust accordingly. Just wanted to counterbalance some of the bad faith review bombing for now.
This book was promising and beautiful. DC editorial can go eat worms for cancelling it. Transphobes stay angry, bitter and isolated. You are creatures of hate and cannot win.
Honestly not bad. Shame that the book got cancelled because the writer said something inappropriate.
Too many hoods in this book lol. I liked it and that's about all I'll say as it's now cancelled. Normally I'd rather something get cancelled based on poor sales or shitty writing but this dummy just doesn't know how to keep it's mouth shut. Yeah, if you wanna just throw awful insults around you deserve to be called an it.
literally did not know this book was cancelled until reading the comments. Removing any political biases aside, it's fine. But I expected better. The art was good though
This is competentent, but to me it feels somewhat creatively bankrupt. From what the city is, to the whole thing Jason is going through. It feels like Nightwing in the 90s and even some more recent red hood comics and maybe it is an effect that the writer wants to achieve, that wants to honor, but for me this comics has a hard time justifying its existance.
There is things to like. For example Jeff Spokes art is spectacular and the visial direction that he decied to follow also. The colors create this heavy hot ambience, that weights on every page. It has this roughness, brutish and again weight, that fits jason really well and the action scenes feel more intese and unpredicable because of it. It feels like not only it has a goo more
Well, that's it. With the news of this book being now cancelled, I can't say I am terribly sad. Not because this was a bad comic, but mostly because it was a continuation to H2SH and the less we talk about that, the better.
I expected something better from this book. Red Hood definitely doesn't feel like the Hood we know. He lacks wit and wit, and he seems like a guy going through his third divorce. I haven't read much about the Huntress. except for the Hood, The art is decent. I didn't like the panels much; sometimes they seem confusing given in the little action they gave us. I felt it was too weak for a starter. Personally, I don't like the pairing with Helena; that that of beating the atole of his almost brotheris a bit disgusting for my taste.
In conclusion, the main character doesn't feel like himself. It wasn't as brutal as they promised, and the start was boring considering what they promised, but it was much better than what they did with Hill. I more
THe only redeeming quality of this issue is its art. The writer does not know anything about Red Hood, or Huntress. It boggles my mind me why he was hired by DC.
Let’s be real, this book is getting recognition for really only one reason.
Truthfully in it of itself, it wasn’t good.
No me gusto, Jason parece ser un emo depresivo y machista de 40 años, la historia fue aburrida. Cero conexión con el sarcástico Jason, no hay ingenio, ni estrategia en este personaje que logró poner en jaque a Batman. Es como si no supiera nada del personaje que va a escribir.
De no ser por el escandalo esto no se estaría vendiendo como pan caliente yo ya compre 2 números de diferentes portadas. Lo genial es que la ganancia se lo quedara la tienda, ni DC (eso espero), ni el escritor vera frutos de esto. Ya algunas portadas han lledo a subir de un día a otro.
Me pregunto si esto no fue planeado, o auto boicot del escritor. Porque se debe ser muy imbécil para escribir comentarios de odio en una nueva administración que no more
A horrible writer.A demonic human being.She was fired and deserved it.
Art is ok, story is ok, nothing special but you can't support this series. The end.
I almost bought this book - the art looks absolutely amazing after all - but after the latest developments concerning its author, I'm glad I didn't. I'm sorry that other people at DC have to suffer now because of him.
DC is obligated to cancel this comic.
