A mysterious person comes to Gotham to wreak havoc on the drug trade and to Black Mask, the new King of the Gotham underground. This new player is killing the competition or any one that messes with "the little ones". Batman searches for clues as to who this person truly is! This series is split in two. The first part raises all the questions while the second part only answers a few of them. The BIG question is answered in the Batman Annual. It tells us how this all started and what happened to

jason todd is one of my favorite dc characters of all time and i’ve put this off for so long because a) i had the hardest time getting ahold of a copy? and b) i was intimidated. there’s been a lot of hyped dc comics that everyone loved but me and i didn’t want a repeat, especially with one of my favorite characters. but i felt weird saying i loved jason todd w/o having read under the red hood. like it’s kind of required reading?? but from the first issue i was hooked and knew it would be a 5 sta...

(1) This is my birthday present to myself, and it had finally arrived! I can finally read this iconic story! ^_^(2) My goodness...Black Mask and co. are using what looks like a Nokia cell phone!!! It's really so old-schooled. Lol(3) I think there are too many side-villains in the storyline! Plus for some reason, I don't really like seeing the Joker in this story...well but I'm not complaining here.(4) Huhh............to be honest the artwork really isn't inspiring (aside from the few cover art d...

I read Under the Red Hood as the third installment in the Saga of Jason Todd, consisting previously of A Death in the Family and A Lonely Place of Dying. In A Death in the Family, we bore witness to the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, at the hands of the Joker. In A Lonely Place of Dying, we saw Batman struggling to cope with Jason's death as his guilty conscience slowly broke him. In Under the Red Hood, Batman and Jason Todd's story comes to a climactic end, which leaves us with arguably...

The classic storyline of the return of Jason Todd. I watched the movie way back and enjoyed it a lot, but never got around to reading the comic. Now that I did, what is the verdict? It's great! This is a quickly paced fight of who can outsmart who first. Bruce has been outsmarted before but never by someone so close. To know almost everything he will do in nearly every situation. A nice twist is that Jason Todd is revealed pretty early on in a wonderful beat-down to the one who had killed him in...

This was pretty damn heartbreaking. Honestly, you can't read anything Batfam without hearing about what happened to Jason Todd these days so I had to read this. Much like the other Batman stories adapted for animated films, there are some pieces missing/changed in the film. This was a really entertaining and engaging comic and I teared up a bit at times. Jason Todd is not okay. Not only was he severely beaten to death, he had issues with abandonment and low self worth before that that shows here...

This is where my obsession with Red Hood and the Outlaws originally started. And as some of you know, I catch lots of shit for loving that title...second only to the piles of crap I'm subjected to for boldly standing behind Aquaman.Shut. Up. I read volume 1 several years ago, but this is the first time I've had a chance to read the arc in its entirety. Honestly, I was afraid it wouldn't hold up under a second reading, but this story is one that definitely stands the test of time.In fact, I'm goi...

you ever been so mad at your dad you drop a nuclear bomb on your elder brother. love the batfamily no one else does interpersonal drama quite like them

SCORE: 80 | B+ / A-TRIGGERS: graphic violenceREVIEW: I had a really hard time rating this as it's a classic and could therefore gain higher ratings simply due to the fact it's an iconic DC storyline. Rose tinted glasses aside, it's a good story, there's no denying that. However, like with Hush, I feel like the hype surrounding it almost makes it impossible for the book to live up to expectations. One thing which does live up to the hype is Jason. Jason is the highlight, hands down. Whilst he is

This is a batman graphic novel at near to its finest. And for both fans of the Dark Knight and newcomers this is a must read novel in any form. If you enjoy good versus evil, are interested in the psychology of your characters, like stories with morals or just love graphic novels then you could buy this book from me if I owned it go and read it...What sets Batman apart from all other superheroes is not simply his lack of any metaphysical powers; the tragic death of his parents; the children he

I watched the animated movie before reading this so I wasn't as impressed by the comic as I should have been, plus the movie was just written better.

This is ALMOST perfect.The story is great at hitting emotional beats and creating a good story. But then randomly Blüdhaven blows up (which didn’t that happen in infinite or Final Crisis in the same exact way?). Then the ending is really tense and good, and the building blows up, turn the page: nothing.As a story it’s great. As a collected volume, what the hell am I missing here? It’s great, but that’s the end? The end didn’t feel rushed until literally the last pages few panels. Where do I find...

(A-) 82% | Very GoodNotes: Full of snark and raw emotion, it's a kind of Coriolanus tale, and plays variations on themes of betrayal and salvation.

One of the best graphic novels that I have ever read. It keeps you gripped to it from page to page. The ending falls a little flat, but it is so worth your time.

A new vigilante is in town and he's shaking things up for Black Mask, the new crime boss of Gotham. But when Batman steps in he finds that this new guy happens to know lots of things about him, things his enemies don't know, couldn't possibly know. But who could know Batman so well, who could be... under the red hood?I think most people coming to this book will know who it is under the red hood, so much so the subtitle of the book should be "The Resurrection of Jason Todd". Jason, the second Rob...

There's a new vigilante in town making trouble for the Black Mask and is even more disturbing (and heartbreaking) to Batman. Who is the person under the Red Hood that causes so much turmoil? Why no other than Jason Todd, mysteriously returned from the dead.This series is solid! Winnick does a great job of creating a world full of grit (a standard for Batman) that is still full of depth for the characters. You sense the history in the relationships between characters without the necessity of havi...

He was not buried in costume. On his person are no keepsakes of his alter ego. No batarangs. No tools. No equipment of any kind that would ever tell you that this boy, in this pine box, was the teenaged hero who fought alongside the dark knight.” 4.5 stars.I’m not usually a comic reader. I’m not going to repeat what I said in my review of Harleen but basically I keep trying and I’m never quite sure what to read when and not be totally lost (I’m getting better at it, I’ve added a few n

This was such a great story!We see the return of Red hood and the way he is taking down Criminals and eliminating Black mask and then Batman on a quest as he suspects its Jason and he meets Ollie and Clark and then also facing off against him and finding that it is him and then the final fight between the mentor and the sidekick with Joker present there, its revenge of the robin who died and its the sins of a father and its such a fascinating read and like has great epic moments throughout.I lov...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.Judd Winick masterfully introduces to the canon Batman stories one of the most iconic characters who has shaken the very foundation of the Dark Knight. Filled with intense and bloody action sequences, Judd Winick does an impeccable job in characterization and brings to life the Red Hood with pure finesse and grace. In Batman: Under the Red Hood, readers will be pleased to see the rise of a new player in the war on crime who doesn’t see justice t...

So fast forward toddles is back less chill than ever, the fact that freeze shows up i thought toddles was gonna melt his ass with one look! A while ago i watched the movie of this (because Dimaggio as the joker was awesome not as awesome as my boy hamill but if you've got a spare hour it's a good little film) so i debated whether to pick this up however they are completely different which i was pleased about. I didn't expect it to be funny, but mannnn black mask brought his A game he's hilarious...
