Red Hood And The Outlaws revolves around the transformation of Jason Todd into the hero he hopes to become. While RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS ANNUAL #1 takes a break from the ‘Life of Bizzaro’ story art, it revisits the relationship of Jason Todd and Dick Grayson as brothers. While they weren’t the best of brothers, Scott Lobdell beautifully describes their relationship as both platonic and reliable. The best part of the book, at least for me, is seeing a different side of Jason Todd—one that shows wanting to be part of a family.
The ending was a bit oversentimental, but it is something the fans have been thirsting for. The relationship between the two hasn’t been done properly in the past. With Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #1, we finally get the moment they deserve.
