Scott Lobdell’s writing here isn’t as strong as it was in Volume One, but the blatant Starfire fan service has been minimized, so that’s positive. Right?!? You have two and a half plotlines that DC throws out there. Does anything stick?The Night of the Owls tie in – For the love of Alfred Pennyworth’s waffles, I get that Jason Todd (aka the titular Red Hood) is conflicted, but does Lobdell have to make the character’s actions so transparently black and white. One extreme - Rescue hostage kids at...

slightly less Starfire tits and ass so... yay, I guess. still way too much oversexualisation of Starfire (and not enough of Jason and Roy). Starfire could be such a badass role model to young girls if just given the chance. sigh.

The second RHATO volume is still pretty good, in my book. Our intrepid non-team finds itself in Gotham City just at the time of the Night of the Owls, where they must defend Mr Freeze from a Talon, and then it's a trip into outer space as Starfire must do battle against the Blight to save her homeworld. Along the way, she reunites with her sister who may or may not be as she seems.Lobdell's script is still buddy-movie worthy, with lots of wisecracks and ribbing between the three principals. Alth...

3.5 ahaha Can Jason Todd have a moment of peace for one goddamn second I am literally begging-

At first I thought, "this is better than volume one," ( which was very good), but at some point, my enthusiasm levelled off.Still well above average - how much it owes to nineties Marvel like Cable and Guardians of the Galaxy is something I will never know.

Mostly good. Suffered a bit in translation to the Hoopla app for reading comics.Art suffered in the last issue when the artist changed but didn't keep the body and face sketches the same. At one point, I swear Superman was not getting enough sleep...

I don't have a wide range of critical observations to make about Red Hood and the Outlaws, Vol. 2: The Starfire , but I will say this, and encourage you to check it out: this book distinguishes itself from the other Bat-books as it is the only doesn't take itself too seriously. Or seriously at all--it would get in the way of the fun.The Starfire picks up where Redemption left off, with these miscreants who only marginally trust each other traveling around on a suborbital spacecraft and gettin...

There is a significant drop in quality between the first volume and, this, the second volume of Red Hood and the Outlaws.The bulk of this collection follows the exploits of the trio as the embark on some half baked mission to add depth to Starfire's character (she's not just a space-bikini, you know). But the narrative is so sped up by Arsenal's "Then this happened" and "Then we did this" approach to storytelling that there is barely anything left to the script other than forwarding devices. By

This was so good!It starts with Jason dealing with the untitled and all and then a tie into court of the owls event as he fights a talon to save Mr Feeze and fun things with the outlaws there and then an inter-galactic battle with Starfire leading the fight to the Blight to rescue her homeworld Tamaran and I loved that one, its short and sweet story and also does well to focus on these characters and give a closure to Kory and well Roy gets a sweet monolgue and then a confrontation with Superman...

Not recommended, represents everything that is wrong in comic books today.

Red Hood has been okay but not great since it began in 2011. Unfortunately, this second volume does little to change that.The first two issues are a Night of Owls tie-in, and probably the best of the bunch. There's action, some character moments for everyone, and a good conclusion too. Then we get the main story involving everyone going into space to save Tamaran - which goes on far too long and adds nothing to any of the characters. Blackfire is a pale copy of her pre-New 52 self, and this is j...

Yay to more Starfire! I love seeing her past, and how she got the nickname Starfire is awesome! I love the fact that Komand'r/ Blackfire is actually nice in this one too! And, we have the setup for Red Hoods part in Death Of The Family at the end here, as well as an extra about Essence, who I really want to learn more about.All in all, a really solid, action packed story.

(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: It lives off dialogue, art and irreverent charm: a watery brew, all sugars and creams, with no body or kick to its plots.

Another great read!I don't know what it is about this series I love so much. The art is absolutely amazing and I think the team dynamic is great. I might go as far to say this might be one of my favourite new 52 titles so far!Volume 2 picks up running and gets straight into the action. I'm loving Jason's character so much in this and with his small interactions with members in the bat family it made me dig him even more. He's a complete bad ass with a huge stubborn streak, but deep down he has a...

More like 3.5 stars (one day, Goodreads will let us give half stars). The main story, Starfire going home to save her planet, was a lot of fun, and the Night of the Owls tie-in was okay too. It's always good to see Red Hood torn between helping Gotham or not. But aside from a lot of fun, there isn't much in the way of character development. Arsenal and Starfire get some good moments, but it's not quite clear yet how the events of the Tamaran War will change them, or if it has at all. I hope so b...

5 starsNice to see Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire again. Glad to see them in Gotham and Tamaran. Fights were cool.Can't wait to read Red Hood and the Outlaws: Death of the Family!!!

It was very...adventurous!

Not as good as the first volume the plot is a little all over the place. Once the plot gets some focus it's suppose to be about kori however roy explains everything that is going on, he speaks for kori which is just odd let the woman speak she can kick ass and melt a bunch of shit whilst giving her pov thanks roy. Jason seems like a spare part and he's with isabel who does little else but get an outfit change, i thought she was gunna do something but she does jack, and then something does happen...

Great series so far, probably the best teamup in the modern age of comics. The dialogue is great, the action is nonstop, and the art is fantastic. It was great to see Starfire's past come back in order for her to save the planet that once exiled her to prevent war. Arsenal's love for her really showed in this volume. Red Hood, however, had his own problems at the beginning and the end. SPOILER: Hood and the Outlaws head back to Gotham to assist Batman take down the Court of Owls, who have a list...

I kind of thought the series lost steam on this one. I enjoyed the foray into Starfire's past, but these issues just felt kind of plunked into the arc of the overall series. There were a lot of things in this volume that felt clunky, up to and including Jason's random civilian romance.
