Flawed fun that feels out of character a lot of the time. It is very befitting for the Webtoon format. The art reflects the platform, and whilst they aren't my favourite designs, Bizzaro stands out as the best of the bunch. If you're expecting something along the lines of Wayne Family Adventures, you will probably be disappointed, however, if you want to try something new that offers its own spin on the Dark Trinity, maybe pick this up.

actual rating: 2.5 stars

This volume 1 is still entertaining to a degree, the plots are fine and serve their purposes, the artwork is lovely too. However, the lack of character growth is getting on my nerves.

I mean, Jason continues to make decisions without talking to his teammates first, and again, he is dealing with his daddy issues (namely a certain Big Bad Bat). Artemis continues to feel like she is only second best, and she cannot replace/go-shoulder-to-shoulder with Wonder Woman (why on Earth would she feel like she has to!?) and Artemis and Jason fighting and eventually making up by hooking up again, I mean, I feel like I had already seen it all before and it’s getting annoying!

Anyway, I will still read the sequels, because nothing can stop me from reading Red Hood books. LOL

Impulse buy at B&N due to loving Jason in WFA and I am very happy I did even if I don't understand this case that they were on at all. Also, knowing someone by how they draw their sword? That's the shit, man.

Look, I’ve just decided the dc web rooms are just, like, the baby brother fanfic of dc that dc that dc officially publishes. Are they fun and quick reads? Yes. Do I roll my eyes frequently at how out of character people are, the impossibility of the story lines or even the art? Yes. I still like them. Like a lot. I’m just honest about the fact that dc has fallen if these ever become canon.

That being aside it was Jason. And dinosaurs. Yay! Double yay even. Also I’m sick and my attention span/ability to stay up has diiiied and this was a fun time that didn’t take too much thought and killed some time while I curl up under the beds. It’s certainly not the best Red Hood story, and I’d suggest the original run with Bizarro and Artemis for something better.

2.5/5 rounded up.

Great art but the story, specifically the conflict with Batman and the rest of the Justice League, feels tired and played out. I was hoping for a fresher take on Red Hood that didn’t centre Batman and explored the Outlaws team dynamics/friendship more. Also hate the romance. I’m a huge Jason Todd fan but I’m not sure I’ll keep reading.

Got close to halfway through before DNFing. Nothing about the story was compelling me to read further.

Since I read the Red Hood: And the Outlaws series on Webtoon, I decided to review all five “books” on here in one collective review.

Overall, I’m giving the series 4-stars but I will be candid- the very beginning, the overarching vibe, and the ending are the strongest points. (Also, ep. 54 was high art.) The middle was a bit messy and the characterization felt scattershot at times.

I’ll break it down.

The Good

- The artists are standouts in this one. They manage to juggle a uniquely Webtoon art style/aesthetic with a more traditional superhero comics form and structure in a seamless way. A lot of stories struggle to find their rhythm artistically, and this story was not one of them. The pacing was good, the color was vibrant, and even with the shifts between artists being noticeable, the overall vibe of the comic was consistent. It was beautiful to read at all times. (Again, ep. 54. If you know, you know.)

- I am such a simp for the Jason Todd, Artemis, and Bizarro trio. I love all three of them and adored them getting another series, especially one that did a great job of writing their group friendship dynamics. The banter was straight-up sitcom style, and I loved it. Young understood how the characters needed to interact with each other from the first panel and delivered.

- The series made sure to give all three outlaws equal attention instead of just being Jason Todd & Friends (TM). I really appreciated this because Bizarro is one of my favorites, and he never gets the spotlight. I also feel like most of the Red Hood comics don’t give Artemis enough attention, either. The series worked to remedy that and I appreciated it. (This is, paradoxically, one of the series’ struggles, too, so bear with me. I’ll get to that later.)

- Minor spoiler, but the Batman & Jason dynamic was right on. Especially in the later half of the series (if you’ve read it, you know what I’m talking about here). The EQ score between them is still a negative number, but I appreciated how their past and present relationship was handled. It felt both in line with canon and fanon, a hard balance to achieve, but a beautiful one to read.

- Again, this is both a highlight and downfall, but the characterization of Jason Todd was solid. He was moody. He was erratic. And he was still reminiscent of the doe-eyed young child who wanted to save the world. There were a few moments where I think the writer forgot that even though Jason plays dumb, he is not actually dumb (there was a “dumb jock” moment or two that felt out of line for someone who made a career out of organized crime), but they were few and far between. Overall, Jason was done well.

The Struggles

- Even though I love Artemis and Bizarro, I felt like this series tried to give all three characters “equal screen time” and it fell short in this mission. It did, in fact, give all three characters the same attention but I felt like Jason’s plot line and characterization was given the most creative consideration and attention while Artemis’s and Bizarro’s plot arcs were rather surface level and scattered.(This says something because there were often moments where I wondered if the writer fully understood the mental gymnastics of Jason Todd, either. Maybe I just have weirdly high characterization standards?).

- The romance between Artemis and Jason was off kilter, too, at times (again, in the middle). It felt too sudden, too fast, with no build up or serious tension. I know, I know- their chemistry is supposed to be implied because they’ve always had a “will they, won’t they” thing going on. Unfortunately, their relationship just felt off at times. I think it might be because they, individually, felt off at times, but I digress. The romance should’ve been a perpetual space for squealing and “oh my god, cute!” and instead, often left me going “wait, what”.

- My biggest critique is that the middle of this series was kind of a mess. So much of comics relies on the implied- gaps of time rushed through, boring events skipped, journeys and missions boiled down to a few key panels. Unfortunately, the middle of this series felt like a holey patchwork quilt- an assortment of scenes missing key connective tissue. I was able to follow what was happening, but I can see why it left lots of people confused. We would be following Jason present day, and then it would switch to Artemis in the past, and then someone was dreaming, etc. You get it.

While I slid into the negative at the end, don’t let that deter you from reading.

Overall, I had so much fun. I enjoyed the shenanigans, the group banter, and the art of this series immensely. While it wasn’t without its flaws, I would still recommend it. I can look past a chaotic middle for the overall energy (and synergy) of the comic and this one had great energy from the start.

Long live The Outlaws.

Seria internetowych komiksów z uniwersum DC, wydana przez Egmont obok dobrze znanego Batmana kieruje również naszą uwagę na troszkę mniej znanych bohaterów, którym na pewno nie można odmówić ambicji i chęci pokazania się.

Album Red Hood: Outlaws tom 1 skupia się na postaci Jasona Todda, znanego również jako Red Hood, byłego Robina, który po swojej śmierci i ponownym ożywieniu obrał nieco mroczniejszą ścieżkę niż jego mentor. W tym tomie Jason zbiera nietypową drużynę – Bizarra i Artemidę – i wspólnie działają jako tytułowi Outlaws, czyli banici.

Fabuła koncentruje się tu na misji odzyskania przez Outlaws pewnego cennego artefaktu z Wyspy Dinozaurów. Nie wiedzą oni jednak, że zadanie to jest o wiele bardziej skomplikowane niż sądzą i będą oni musieli zmierzyć się z członkami Ligi Sprawiedliwości. Prowadzi to do dynamicznych starć, konfrontacji i konieczności pokazania swoich najlepszych zdolności.

Scenariusz autorstwa Patricka R. Younga jest dynamiczny i pełen akcji. W przeciwieństwie do wspomnianego już albumu Batman: Przygody rodziny Wayne’ów, historia jest tu bardziej spójna, a przez to też bardziej angażująca. Oczywiście trzeba przygotować się na pewne uproszczenia fabularne, typowe dla historii publikowanych pierwotnie w formacie Webtoon.

Do zalet tytułu należy także zaliczyć przemyślany humor, którego tutaj nie brakuje. Nie występuje on tak obficie jak w Batmanie, ale jest o wiele lepiej dopasowany do historii i staje się jej integralną częścią. Plusem komiksu jest także ciekawie zaprezentowana relacja między bohaterami. Jason, Bizarro i Artemida tworzą zaskakująco zgrany zespół, mimo swoich odmiennych charakterów i motywacji. Interakcje między nimi są często zabawne i pełne napięcia, co dodaje historii lekkości i sprawia, że czytelnik angażuje się w ich losy. Szczególnie interesujące jest obserwowanie, jak Jason radzi sobie w roli lidera, starając się zapanować nad chaosem, jaki wnoszą do drużyny jego towarzysze....

Patrick R. Young and Nico Bascuñan bring Red Hood and the Outlaws to the Webtoon arena with their first volume of the Outlaws series. The Outlaws are the black sheep of their respective heroic families. Jason Todd was an angry Robin who died in battle, returning as the gun-toting antihero Red Hood. Artemis Grace was the Amazon selected to take over as Wonder Woman, only to be deposed due to her violent tendencies. And Bizarro is a failed Superman clone whose backward syntax hides deep regret at destroying his world. United as a crew for hire, their latest mission involves thieving an idol from a mysterious island. After contending with dinosaurs, booby trap, and skeletal armies, the Oulaws must go toe-to-toe with the island’s protector - Martian Manhunter. A confrontation with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman quickly follows, as the team is offered the opportunity to be the Justice League for thirty days, and finally prove their worth. Patrick Young creates a fun use of the mishandled “Dark Trinity;” he pens each member of the Outlaws as a flawed hero striving for redemption. The brash cockiness of Jason, the warrior code of Artemis, and the delight of Bizarro are public masks worn to hide their private shame. Young’s plot to give the Outlaws a chance at being the preeminent team is entertaining, and holds great promise if used correctly. The energetic art from Nico Bascuñan captures the flow of the digital series, even when translated to graphic novel format. His designs are both unique and timeless, capturing the Webtoon version of the main characters expertly. Red Hood: Outlaws Volume 1 is an enjoyable treat for fans of Jason Todd and the Dark Trinity days of DC Comics.

Nothing at all like the other Batman related Webtoon, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures,. That might be good, bad, or neutral, depending on how you feel about that book. This is a much more standard offering. It follows up from the Red Hood and the Outlaws series from 2016, also starring Jason Todd, Artemis, and Bizarro. There are things I really liked in this book, especially the friendship between the three characters. Did not like the apparent romance between Jason and Artemis, though. The story starts fun, with the trio fighting dinosaurs, then gets both silly and played out. The idea of Batman making the three Outlaws the Justice League doesn't really pass the smell test, and I'm a little over storylines that pit Jason against Bruce's expectations for him. I'm willing to see where this is going, though.

Ekipa Outlaws złożona z Jasona, Bizarro i Artemidy ma się nieźle. Trzymają się na uboczu, podejmując się jakichś zajęć, głównie jako najemnicy, dla pieniędzy. Kolejne zadanie: odnalezienie pewnego posążka na wyspie, gdzie żyją dinusie - będzie obfitowało jednak w kilka przykrych niespodzianek.

Nowa akcja ekipy zwróci bowiem uwagę innych bohaterów, a ci nie chcą się za nadto patyczkować z młodzikami. Todd będzie musiał poprowadzić swoją grupę naprzeciwko nowym wyzwaniom. Całość wygląda w porządku, ale fabuła jest dosyć prościutka.

Mogę tylko ubolewać, że nie ma tu tej 'przaśności', jaką naszpikowany jest inny tytuł z tego "ruchu" Webtoon, czyli Batman. Przygody rodziny Wayne'ów. I o ile tam mamy zbiór jakichś często zabawnych (i mądrych) historyjek, tak tutaj mamy zwartą intrygę. Nie jest ona niestety zbytnio odkrywcza.

Nie jest to zły tytuł, ale brak mu na razie tej iskry, jaką ma konkurent. Niemniej relacja pomiędzy całą trójcą bohaterów ma w sobie pewien potencjał i chyba głównie dlatego będę dalej obserwował serię. Choć na ten moment to żaden must have.

I absolutely adored this first volume, the dynamic between the team, the flashbacks, the constant bickering.. so unbelievably good. I remember reading the original series of Red Hood and The Outlaws (pre-new 52) and also loved it despite never having finished it. This was great, the characterizations felt true to the characters while still having that more “wholesome” feel that the WEBTOON series seem to instil in me. I definitely will be purchasing the next volume asap. I’m excited to see how the characters progress in their new journey for respect from the other hero’s and of course saving earth from the dangers they accidentally unleashed, as well as the villain behind it whom I can only assume is Darkseid.
Funny thing to note; my copy was misprinted, one singular page with no text at all, imo it kind of added to the flashback scene and felt like Jason forgot but.. it was unintentional. Still pretty funny though.

Love the art and love Jason. Also idk what's going on with the printing but my volume for this one is printed in MUCH better quality than wfa. My only gripe is the romance is pretty blegh. They're cuter single, let them live their lives. Also I'm hearing a lot of hate for it being "out of character"
#1 it's a different vibe for the webtoon releases we should know that by now, and
#2 no one seems to go as hard when batman is written out of character when it's in the name of grim dark realness. Some of y'all simply hate lighthearted tellings and expect comics (who historically have) to cater to you. Sometimes something isn't for you and that's okay
#3 CANON contradicts itself all the time, lay off

Pacing was all over the place and Jason going straight in for that kiss at the end was a bit weird but overall fun characters and an interesting premise with it focusing on Martians but also this “dark trinity”. I also like the inclusion of modern things in comics, like an official instagram for league member and a justice league PR team. Reminds me of the show young justice which I LOVE. Also i really like the art. The characters have very pretty eyes and all the male characters have GREAT arms and tattoos. I’m barking.

This is... Fine. It's not my favourite characterisation of Jason Todd, and that means a lot when it's supposed to be his run. Kind of sick of this retconning that he wasn't the happiest Robin, tbh, and there's a lot more to his character than just being a punchy dude who wants to fight with Batman all the time. Not the best run out there, the art is kinda nice at least.

Storyline is very interesting. There's something that happens at the end that makes u very intrigued for the next volume.
Really like Jason & Bizarro, Bizarro was a VERY interesting character, he says the opposite of what he means and I thought that would be confusing, but it's really not. The only main character I couldn't connect with so much was Artemis, she's eh, nothing special.

Cute start to a little series. I really like the art style! The stand out character so far is Bizarro with his backwards speak. But otherwise I love that they actually made Jason and Artemis young and not ugly. Jason has too many runs of just looking too old. I'm looking forward to where this series goes!

2.5 stars rounded up. This was not god awful but it wasn’t mid either. Red Hood is a whiney bitch who isn’t really a great friend. The plot was lacking in excitement and disjointed. Bizzaro and the art was fantastic though!

I feel like I cheated because I did originally read this on Webtoon - just up to this point, I didn't read past it :P

But I am definitely invested in this story and want to see where it goes. Especially since it's only like three volumes I think?
