Red Hood: Outlaw #45 looks to be bringing us another step closer to tying up all the lose ends that have been running through this book since the end of the Year of the Villain. That is a good thing. I trust Scott Lobdell and I have been giving him a lot of room to tell this story. I find that he is writing arcs that are better read in six issue bursts, but I am reading them month by month and that can be frustrating. Read Full Review

Overall though, it is a decent comic with good action and emotions throughout. Read Full Review

Overall this was a truly blow you away issue and I feel as if we're only getting started. Read Full Review

One thing that makes the character so compelling is the constant internal conflict he battles, and how he sometimes lets his darker side take the wheel. We haven't really had much of that in a while, and that limits the ceiling for Red Hood: Outlaw. Read Full Review

Things I like: Morally ambiguous reflections of well establish characters; An experienced character training fledglings; Glowing swords. Things I don't care for: Jason Todd's mystical kung fu past. I can handle the last one if I get a little of the first three. For the last few years, Red Hood and his merry amazon and Superclone have waxed and waned around my pull list. There was a point where Bizarro got super-intelligence, and I was like, "nah." Then, Red Hood was training supervillain kids, and I was like, "yea." Now, we have the kids and the team fitted with a Bizarro with appropriate cognition, and I'm like, "Sweet." Read Full Review

While this issue is action-packed, there just wasn't enough to get me really excited for what's to come next because there still seems to be a lot left on the table as far as explanations about why everyone and everything is acting the way that they are in this story, beyond the action element.  The art is okay, but not something I'm a huge fan of, but don't see it being a problem for most fans of this book or even most readers who might just pick it up, but overall I was just looking for more from every aspect of this issue.   Read Full Review

Those who have been dying to see what's next for the Outlaws will probably find something to enjoy in this issue, but it's certainly not an immediate must-read. Read Full Review

The plot picked up, and the story is reaching its climax; Im interested to see what happens next and how it will affect the Outlaws! Read Full Review

The entire book rests on three different twist reveals and the Ma Gunn cut away. Aside from that, it's a quick read that could have been more interesting if the characters had more to do and say. Not a lot of what happens feels like it matters or is earned, though there are some visually interesting moments to cling to. Read Full Review

This book has gone on so long that I'm sort of excited to see how Lobdell pulls it all together, but he'll need more focus than Red Hood: Outlaw #45 shows. Read Full Review

This month Red Hood: Outlaw was a miss for me. I don't mind an issue that's all action when it's done well, but here it only seemed to frustrate me and point out other flaws in the story. The book has too much going on and also doesn't seem to move forward very far at all even with plenty of opportunities to do so. Usually I can find joy in the characters, but I didn't even find that here. There's a point where being loud and bombastic actually gets boring, and this issue of Red Hood felt that way.

Prelude:
Red Hood and the Outlaws had a rather mixed issue last time, let's see how this one goes.

The Good:
Nothing.

The Bad:
Didn't enjoy the art.

The story is boring and confusing.

Who wanted to read about the All-Caste?

Conclusion:
It's boring, confusing and made me procrastinate on reading it fully through for two hours. It's not good.

Untitled makes me uninterested.
