Red Hood and The Outlaws #2

While the first issue was an absolute romp, this one toned things down a bit to start a story arc.  I did read A Death in the Family way back so I know how Jason died but I've not read how he came back to life.  It was sort of talked about in this issue.  I knew about Talia and the Lazarus Pit, but I didn't know she took him to be trained by a cult.  Possibly a mystical cult as Jason didn't seem all that surprised to see his teacher's ghost.

Things I liked: who knew that Jason actually cared for someone other than himself?

Things I didn't like: when did Roy become so manic?  I'm used to him being more stoic and serious.  More like Jason, actually.  I get why they wouldn't want three characters like that in one group (Starfire's being very stoic as well) but I hope he tones it down.  Right now he's coming across as a strung out junkie (which could very well be true) but if that's the case let's actually see some evidence of drug use.  It's rated the way it is for a reason.  And it's not just Kori's breasts.
