Although I enjoyed the final two issues of the arc I'm happy to see it come to and end and return Starfire, Arsenal and Red Hood back to Earth where they belong. Next week should begin “The Death of the Family” crossovers and we should, hopeful, see a confrotation between Jason Todd and the Joker looming before too long. Red Hood and the Outlaws #14 also promises an appearance by Superman. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, Lobdell's writing just as often gets in the way of the plot. The narration from Arsenal is frequently obnoxious and just plain unnecessary. Lobdell seems to be writing as if scores of new readers are suddenly jumping on board, and as such burdens the script with needless exposition via dialogue, narrative captions, and thought balloons. The final pages suffer from the sudden, rushed attempts to build towards future crossover storylines. And yes, that means one more Batman-related title with a pointless Joker cameo. Lobdell seems to have a strong sense of where to take this team moving forward, so it's frustrating to see missteps like these hindering the book's potential. Read Full Review

The All in all, it was fine. My complaints remained consistent through this arc, and I'm glad it's over. Is it still action packed, fun and peppered with humor? Yeah. Did I feel the sci fi setting worked? No. Some highs and lows, not great, not terrible. Read Full Review

This space story in Red Hood and the Outlaws has been good for Starfire's character but not really anything else. It does feel like Starfire now has the making of a three-dimensional character, and I'll be honest... that's something I've rarely felt about the character even before the New 52. Besides that, Lobdell serves up some very weak science fiction and misses the mark with his new take on Komand'r. I find myself think that it could have been worse but it also could have been better.
