Red Hood and the Outlaws

I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this one. I remember when Jason Todd died. I read the story where Roy Harper lost his arm. But I really wanted to find out how Dick Grayson's angry, little brother, drug addicted best friend and ex-girlfriend could ever get along. If the rest of the series holds up to the first issue I will not be disappointed.

It seems that the trend in the DC new U is to make the aliens more alien. The preview for Supergirl say so and Starfire's personality here says so as well. She alludes to an idea that the people of Earth don't really like aliens but that she just likes Earth. Jason tells Roy that humans are just sights and smells and that Tamaranians have a short attention span. That lets Roy establish that the Teen Titans still exist, that Dick and Kory's relationship still existed and that she doesn't really care.

Jason lets us know that he was a former sidekick. His history is still intact and the plot for the first arc is established. Hopefully it's not something that has connections to Jason's past because I don't know much of Jason's history since he came back from the dead.

Things I liked: the writing. I actually laughed out loud at some of this issue.

Things I didn't like: Kory's become a slut. I don't know if I like it, but I can get used to it.
