Revealed at last: the secret history of Roy Harper and Oliver Queen in The New 52!
Not all origin stories are created equal. The origin story told in this issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws exemplifies superior storytelling and character development. Lobdell proves himself as a skilled writer who has the ability to take this series to new heights moving into the future. I would enjoy seeing Lobdell explore the origins of all three of the Outlaws in a similar manner. This issue is a breath of fresh air in the Outlaws mythos and should not be missed by any fans of the DC Universe. Read Full Review
All in all Red Hood and the Outlaws #37 was a fun comic. We finally get to learn more about Arsenal which was something I was hoping to see for a long while with this series. If you're a fan of Arsenal I would recommend getting Red Hood and the Outlaws #37 to see the new spin of his origins by DC's New 52. Now that we got Arsenal's origin out of the way I wonder what Red Hood and Starfire are doing in the next issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws. Read Full Review
Not exactly what I was hoping for going into this issue and while I'd love to see more of the backgrounds to all of the Outlaws in future installments, this look into Arsenal felt wrong and didn't really make me believe that he would become the hero we know him to be from it. The book still had some fun moments but all in all it wasn't the strong issue that I thought it would be. Read Full Review
Overall: This wasn't a particularly bad issue, but it felt so out of place I couldn't connect to it. I greatly enjoyed the artwork, but the narrative was so bland and unnecessary when a host of other stories could have been told. Read Full Review
