Jason Todd has gone through a lot in his life, death, and life again. From his time as Robin, to his time as a villain, to his adventures as an outlaw--Red Hood thought he'd run crowbar-first into almost any scenario imaginable. But now, as monsters--both literal and figurative--stalk the streets of his home city, Red Hood finds himself up against the impossible. Does Jason stand a chance while things heat up in the Hill?
This creative team has built a very interesting world in the Hill here, creating a dynamic where the superhero wars in Gotham proper rudely intrude into the lives of ordinary people. Read Full Review
Red Hood: The Hill #4 brings us a great deal of heart and character tension. There are a great many possibilities that the story can take, moving forward, and it's been a delight to read a more down-to-earth take on Jason Todd. Read Full Review
This issue continues to be beautiful and stylized. With Batman brought into the mix, it is almost like Red Hood is not good enough, we need a real detective. Not a welcome addition. Read Full Review
It feels almost like the story doesn't know exactly where it wants to go when it comes to the action-oriented parts of things, but on the more personal level, the story between Karlee Jr and his father and what is going on behind the scenes there is starting to catch fire more. Read Full Review
I feel like my opinions have completely flip-flopped from the last issue, where I was more invested in the Watch than whatever was going on with Jason, Karlee Jr., and the rest. But thanks to some good writing, I'm now more interested in a new set of characters and how they interact. Unfortunately, this appears to have occurred at the expense of the other characters, who now look to be permanently sidelined. At least some appropriate art choices by Sanford Greene and Matt Herms give this book a nice indie feel, which feels tone accurate to the story. Read Full Review
