Well damn, this was a nice surprise.
Parker is a dude who is a petty criminal. He has a code though. You learn that early on when he beats the living shit out of a Hydra Agent with his cousin John. You also see tender moments where he cares about his cousin, his pregnant wife, and also his sick mother. On the flipside he is cheating on his wife with a whore, stealing things, and overall a two faced asshole. This makes it even better when he gets his hands on a pair of boots and hood and becomes THE HOOD.
Good: I really dug the storyline. It's simple. Just the start of a criminal's life into super villain world. However, the way it all works out, the slow build, and the human interactions thanks to Brain K. Vaughan great writing, it all adds up to something really well done. Also the power set is cool, the art works well here, and the side character's like John are well done.
Bad: Some of the story plotlines feel unsolved or not done. This all comes down to it being a 6-part mini. You want more too but this is where it ends, and kind of sad.
Overall really enjoyed this. If I didn't feel it was a bit rushed or wanting more it be amazing but as it stands it's a great mini-series worth checking out. A 4 out of 5.

Still would give this 4.25. Waiting to watch the final 3 episodes of Ironheart, I figured I’d give this another go. BKV created a really cool character and had a great story on his hands here.
4.25 stars. The story of how The Hood stumbles across.....well, the hood. This was good. Parker is a 2 bit criminal. Definitely not the best BF to his girl who is pregnant. His cousin sets up small scores for them. On this in particular score, they come across some weird cult like symbols and candles. This creature jumps out at them and Parker shoots it. Not wanting to leave empty handed, Parker takes the creatures boots and hooded cape. From here it’s Parker figuring out these boots and hood aren’t normal. Now Parker and his cousin try to step their game up and go for bigger takes which gets them mixed up with the wrong people. Great pacing kept me turning pages along with some solid art. I wish this kept going as I would love to follow more stories with The Hood.

Bullet Review:
It's weird; I read this one, and like a curtain falling from my face, I could SEE all the Vaughan-isms. The dopey average guy. The dialogue. The sexism and racism of his characters.
While I love some of Vaughan's stuff to death, I'm finding others of his works are just so-so for me. It's the weirdest thing in the world.
This one falls on the "so-so" side.
But I suppose if you like Vaughan-isms, you should like this.

Started off a little slow but finished off well. A pretty simple crime story which has all rhe elements of Vaughan. Some violence but not over the top. My issue was that the villains were a little 1 dimensional, and I never really felt that The Hood was threatened. Solid mini series. Simple story but fun read.

I don't read a lot of the big two's super hero books, but I always enjoy the Max Imprint. I was famliar with the hood via a regular Marvel TPB, but I believe this to be a better work no doubt thanks to BKV. I love the John character. He is the bumbling friend we all don't need.
I was saddened when I realized this series was cancelled after the first arc. I would have probably gone 5 stars if there was more arcs to follow... Still a very enjoyable 4.5 for me.

'With great power comes great opportunity.'
The origin of The Hood, one of the Marvel U's recent villain sensations! One of Brian K. Vaughan's lesser known books was actually under Marvel's MAX imprint, because it contains "explicit content", which in this case means some coarse language.
Parker Robbins hoped to be a thug in the Kingpin's employ but, while committing some B&E, finds a hooded cloak that grants him strange powers, powers that he will slowly discover and use to his advantage.
I don't know if Vaughan was planning a follow-up to this story or not, because he clearly left himself some plot threads to follow up on, but Bendis did some pretty nasty things with this character.
By no means essential reading, but fans of The Hood wanting to read up on his origin should check out this book.

Lejos de los mejores guiones de Vaughan (uno de mis guionistas favoritos), pero muy entretenido para pasar un buen rato.

Fun story of descent into super-villainy: this is a great example of energetic comic art by Kyle Hotz and the continuing creations of brian K. Vaughan.

Twenty years old now and definitely a snapshot of comics from that era. Lots of f-bombs, 9-11 obsession, terrible art. I wanted to read the story to understand some more of the backstory of Bendis' New Avengers run and I feel like that at least has been satisfied here.

What a shame this series was axed. Brian Vaughan is a master of peeling back the layers of a character. You see every emotional gear, each logical and illogical move of the man or woman and you understand why they act as they do. Even more than understanding their actions, you get sucked into their lives and actions.
The Hood is a genius piece of work. It died on the vine for reasons I don't know. Politics, money (the MAX imprint maybe), lack of marketing, or maybe Vaughan and others decided that was enough ... keeping the Hood on the back-burner for later use (Avengers).
Either way, for whatever reason, this is one of my favorite origin stories, and it's a great example of how much Vaughan can do with a character in a short amount of time.
It lacks a fifth star because as much as I admire Kyle Hotz's work, his art is not right for this story. To make his style fit Vaughan's tone here, he would have had to change ... well, his style. So, the problem is the match. Both Vaughan and Hotz are great, however, it has to be the art that bends to the writer in a series like this, and that didn't happen quite enough.

The Hood: Blood from Stones collects the origin tale (issues #1-6) of the Hood in a first volume. This, as far as I understand, is Brian K. Vaughn's only work on the character, but the story is great. The final issue leaves several plot lines open, but as a unit this origin of a character that defies classification as hero, villain, or even antihero (at least here, later treatments get much more polarized) is a decent introduction that leaves you wanting more.
Vaughn's writing is illustrative of why his star rose to prominence. The dialogue is fairly clean (technique, not expletives which are abundant) with only a couple points of weakness. The plot is tight and brilliant. One could argue that there's a bit of forced action and lucky happenstance, but that's typical of any superhero/villain story (a radioactive spider bites Peter Parker and he doesn't get medical attention, in a city of millions of people Bruce Wayne's parents are the ones that get shot, etc, etc). All in all, the writing is solid and not out of proportion for any other story in the genre.
The art is fantastic. The detail in the Hood's cloak is great, particularly the curves and twists that call to mind the demonic symbols of the costume's origin. The colors are vibrant, and the use of juxtaposition is admirable, if not original in any way. The expressions on character faces are emotive. The work with shadows (as to be expected with such a dark character and story) is definitely noteworthy. The use of smoke, fire, and other effects also lends a realism that grounds the rather fantastic action in the rest of the book. And the disappearing effect, one of the Hood's key powers, is handled with perfection.
This isn't one of those books that everyone needs to read. Even average Marvel fans, seeing the Hood pop up as a villain now and again don't need his backstory for those later adventures to work, but this is definitely a great place to start if the character intrigues you in the slightest. And if you're unfamiliar with the character at all, it's a definite recommendation. Even if you never see the Hood mentioned in a comic book again, this story is entertaining.

February 1, 2021We're a couple of years past the era when Bendis was Marvel's big beast, and the Hood his most overused supervillain. And as for Brian Vaughan...Saga has been on pause for nearly three years now. The last comic he put out was the end of Paper Girls, and even that was back when Britain was still in the EU and people were allowed to meet each other. So Vaughan's original miniseries in which he introduced the Hood, and which I've somehow never read before...that seems like a thing I could read now, right? Turns out yes, it is a little dated, but mostly not in bad ways. That tendency towards regurgitating undigested research which disfigured a lot of Vaughan's early Big Two work is mostly absent here, and he does a lot of interesting stuff in terms of showing how regular New Yorkers on both sides of the law interact with the superhumans in their midst – and in turn, how the then-recent scar of 9/11 affects those interactions. More than anything I was reminded of the way The Sopranos obliquely addressed the aftermath of the attack, and it's a series which gets namechecks here, because to start with Parker Robbins is just a small-time, small-H hood. But then he lucks into superpowers he barely understands, and suddenly he's on the radar of the capes and the wiseguys, not to mention the authorities, and maybe 'lucks into' wasn't the right way to put it because his life gets a whole lot more complicated. Hotz' art renders it all suitably grimy and grubby, whilst keeping even the incidental players very much people rather than types. Worth a look, in short, so long as you're prepared to cope with the early noughties feeling like a period piece – and so long as you don't do anything daft like trying to follow all of Parker's subsequent appearances in what felt like every damn Marvel book for a decade. Although I do find myself vaguely wondering whether any of the subplots set up here ever got resolved anywhere...

I picked this book up because of writer Brian K. Vaughan of Ex Machina and illustrator Kyle Hotz of Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities. Quite honestly I know nothing of the Hood's place in the Marvel universe, but found this to be a fun origin story nonetheless. My biggest problem was that the story itself, while having a good sense of humor, was really nothing special. Hotz's art, however, gives the story lots of atmosphere and a good sense of creepiness. Not a bad book, but not a great one either.

A great introduction to a new character that makes him even more interesting when he turns up in New Avengers years later.

Незабаром повинен вийти серіал "Ironheart" в якому антагоністом буде Каптур і я подумав, що непогано було б прочитати якийсь комікс про нього. Цей персонаж вперше з'явився у лімітці "The Hood", яка виходила в імпринті "Marvel Max", від сценариста Браяна Вона та художника Кайла Готза.
Паркер Роббінс є дрібним злодюжкою, який ледве зводить кінці з кінцями, його матір знаходиться в пансіонаті під постійним доглядом, його дівчина є вагітною й от-от повинна народити, в той час, як сам Паркер постійно їй зраджує. Переломним моментом для Роббінса стає ніч коли він зі своїм кузеном вломлюються на склад з надією зірвати куш, однак натомість зіштовхуються з демоном. Вбивши істоту Паркер забирає з її тіла черевики та каптур, які дають йому здатність літати та ставати невидимим. З новими здібностями Паркер разом зі своїм кузеном намагаються провернути нову авантюру й викрасти криваві камені, не підозрюючи, що вони належать кримінальному авторитету Ґолему і яка купа проблем їм впаде на голову через це.
Браяна Вона я в основному знаю як хорошого сценариста завдяки його серії "Runaways", однак тут йому, на жаль, не вдалося видати чогось сильно цікавого. Персонаж Паркера вийшов взагалі ніяким, Вону не вдалося зробити з нього якогось цікавого персонажа за яким хотілося б слідкувати чи переживати в критичних моментах, нехай і певні задатки для цього тут є. Що мене здивувало так це те, що Каптуру тут всього 19 років, я чомусь завжди думав, що він набагато старший. Сам сюжет також не хапає зірок з неба і є досить прямолінійною історією, що не завжди є чимось поганим, але дуже сильно розчаровує з таким героєм, недосказаністю (нам тут так і не пояснять, що це за демон та звідки він взявся) та спробами на поспіх закинути гачки на майбутнє в самому кінці замість якогось цікавого завершення.
Щодо малюнку Готза, то він тут не є чимось сильно класним або поганим, однак непогано підходить по стилю до історії яку намагається розповісти Вон.
Дебютна лімітка Каптура вийшла досить слабким та посереднім представленням персонажа. Якщо хочете прочитати якийсь непоганий кримінальний комікс у всесвіті сповненому супергероїв то краще прочитайте "Underworld" Тіері, "Minor Threats" Освальта і Блума та "Hitman" Енніса, а цю сміливо скіпайте.

I was mildly interested to see this origin story of the Hood, since he just sort of showed up in other comics without any mention of it. I eventually found some hint that he cared for his mom, but little else. Ultimately, I didn't learn a whole lot about the Hood that I didn't know, except that he is a bit scummier than I thought. The book itself is reasonably good. The fact that it is a MAX book means there is a lot of swearing and as many -isms as you can fit into it. I get that we are depicting bad people, but I still didn't enjoy that part. It doesn't add anything to the book for me, personally. The art is reasonably good, and the story is fairly well-told otherwise, but really isn't anything special. In particular, we get no real ideas about the origins of the magical cloak and boots other than where Parker gets them, which is somewhat disappointing. If you have seen the Hood in other books and wondered "who the heck is this guy?" like I did, this will tell you a bit more about him, but I didn't find that it told me as much as I had expected.

I really enjoy Brian K. Vaughn's writing, and have been Jonesing for more. He's been sort of missing in action from the comic book scene for a while, although that will soon change, according to Image's March 2012 solicitations. Kyle Hotz's artwork isn't as refined here as it would become in just a few years. His sense of pace and overall storytelling ability is excellent, but he still had some rough edges at this point in his career. I loved his work on both Marvel/MAX Simon Garth: The Zombie mini-series a few years ago.
The Hood is a marginal villain who was made into a major villain. This story tells his origin and rise to power and is an enjoyable read. Bendis basically made him into the focal point of the Marvel Universe in The Avengers a while back. Whatever the case, I enjoyed this book.

The Hood gets his start in this Max book from Marvel. The Max line was for mature audiences and didn't bleep out the curse words. It's a great start. Parker Robbins is a small time crook working with his cousin when he stumbles across a hood that gives him powers. One with darker consequences in the future. Parker is a scum bag. He sees a prostitute on the reg with a pregnant girlfriend at home. I really like that the story doesn't mess around with bleeped out curses. That seems so juvenile these days. There is some derogatory terms especially towards the LGBTQ community that would not fly these days and it was a bit jarring to see it these days. But if you can get past that, it is a good story with good art from Kyle Hotz and Eric Powell.

This was such a surprise I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, the story about a criminal who suddenly gets powers then decides to use them for his own gain.
I like it because it’s not the usual graphic novel and I love how the Marvel universe is present here like Spider-Man, captain America, the avengers (but all mentioned in passing none of them appear).
The writing is funny and interesting and all the characters are very very likable, if you’re a fan of graphic novels and really fun stories this is definitely the graphic novel for you I highly recommend this.

I wouldn't read this again and beyond that I found a few blips to be inappropriate. The only put downs used in this novel were directed towards differently abled humans, homosexuals and women. For me, it is an instant bummer to witness hate words being used without cause in teenager/young adult creations. The artist draws some really cool hood and boot pics but the rest of the work just seems to parallel the writers attitude of perpetuating the status quo. I recognize I really struggle to enjoy anti heroes in stories like this. I would have appreciated more back story... on anything.

Me surpreendi um pouco. Comprei sem expectativas, pois nunca ouvi falar sobre o personagem, li a HQ inteira em algumas horas.
O protagonista é bem desenvolvido, os traços do artista são bem interessantes, as cores predominantes na maior parte da HQ são cores escuras, o que acredito que tenha sido uma boa escolha (e não muito comum na Marvel).
No entanto, apesar da obra ter sido publicada em 2002, as minorias são retratadas de uma forma bem questionável, o que estragou totalmente a minha leitura.

"O Capuz" é Vaughan em forma de exercício, de entressafra. Gostei do conceito, mas duas coisas dificultaram a preferência: não consegui superar a arte de Kyle Hotz e a tradução brasileira, ambas incontornáveis por se tratar de questões de estilo. Com certeza seria mais interessante se o miolo seguisse o tipo das capas e eu tivesse lido com texto no original. (mas o encadernado da Panini é como sempre uma coisa linda)

The art is good. The characterization is good. The dialog is good. The origin story is good. The ideas in the plot and story seem good.
I say "seem" because this doesn't feel like a complete story with a complete plot. It feels like it would be a four-star review if I had the next volume as part of this volume. Unfortunately, it seems this series got cancelled after the contents of this collected volume, so it feels like a three-star read to me.

After hearing that Anthony Ramos had been cast as The Hood in the ‘Ironheart’ TV series, I wanted to read one of the character’s books, and this one came recommended. It’s very much on the swearier, sleazier, more violent side of Marvel, which I don’t normally like, but as a protagonist Parker has just enough to keep you rooting for him despite his consistently terrible actions. Ramos should definitely be able to demonstrate that balance on screen; based on this book, it’s great casting.

been reading through BKV's catalog - Didn't know he created this character. Good intro to this rogue villain with plenty of room for character development. some of the early 2000's art styles and syntax choices of the Marvel Max titles have aged poorly.

A weebit above standard comic book fare. Def not my favorite BKV story
