Review
I gotta say, I like the direction the book is headed. Let's get more into the heads of the other characters besides Red Hood. It is a nice approach I didn't see too much of in the earlier issues.
I am tired of one thing: bounties on the heads of Robins. For the same amount.
That's right, there is a bounty on the heads of all of the Outlaws, which is the driving point of this issue. But the fact that Damian just got away with a bounty on his head makes me wonder when one will be put on Tim and Dick. Yeesh.
One thing I do like about this artist - he manages to make Star Fire look beautiful while not emphasizing certain female parts of her. But then the villain for the issue does manage to have a lot of panty showing moments. Sigh.
Seeing Roy next to a young looking Green Arrow really makes me wonder why Wally West isn't along for the ride in the new 52. Roy and Oliver look like they could be brothers or twins. Which is just weird to see in general with these two.
I'm glad we got to have the whole Green Arrow fight come along and really get into some of Roy's past. And so far the big reset button on Jason's memory is working for me as well. And it looks like it will be around for a bit. Until the next Bat-crossover at least.
