Jason, Kori and Roy against Ra's al Ghul to wrap a hanging story line, then... Kori and Roy let Jason tag in Isabel -- normal (not counting measurements) but brave human from earlier stories -- and are off to a party island with an unexpected host. The Big Picture arc then lets Kori's ship get stolen from under everyone -- well, everyone but Roy, who is dragged along with alien mercs. Jason takes Kori on a ship-stealing caper that runs them into Frankenstein and Lobo Classic -- or is it? Discern...
This trade paperback picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next five issues (27–31) of the 2011 on-going series and DC Universe Presents #17–18.Somewhat infuriating, the conclusion of the story arc, which was started and chronicled in Red Hood and the Outlaws: League of Assassins was placed in this trade paperback instead. It is followed by a one-shot where the Outlaws take a rest, but finding none. It is followed by the three-part story arc of "The Big Picture", where Star...
(B) 73% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Fine enough for killing time, it’s a so-so sideshow spread, though recondite from oversight: vestigial tales at its head.
I'm not going to comment on the way that DC have collected this, because once again they prove that they're daft as hell by putting the finale and epilogue to the story that was in volume 4 in this book instead of the previous one. Sigh.The titular Big Picture story is decent superhero fare if nothing spectacular, but I expect it was a nice way of easing Will Pfiefer back into comics before he took over Teen Titans. The two one-shots at the end of the book from DC Universe Presents are both okay...
The League of Assassin's/Ra's Al Ghul arc is definitely the best arc so far. I loved it. The follow up arcs, on the other hand, felt like a huge let down. I guess that we'll just have to wait for the gang to get into that much epic trouble again. It also didn't help that I just don't like Lobo as a character.
Why 2 stars? Lobo- I hate Lobo.
Maybe I'm really bias towards this book cause I am in love with Arsenal, but overall I feel as if the finale was.... In the fourth one. Like the previous book was a better ending than the fifth one. I mean, I don't really feel as satisfied as I should be but who am I kidding? Keep on continuing, I love this series wayyyy too much!
Other volumes were better than this collection. The stories themselves were fine, but the organization threw you off a bit -- therefore, I only rated it two.
Public Library Copy. Good lord, how does this book keep going? I only read library copies and the rotation of writers and artists still can't save it. It's simply not for me.
The fifth volume of the Outlaws arrives from James Tynion IV and a host of artistic talents. Concluding the Ra's al Ghul arc, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire are able to defeat the ages-old threat and garner a brief period of down time. Things pick up when an alien cadre steals Starfire's space ship - with Roy trapped aboard - and attempt to use it to deliver a weapons test. Jason and Kori must battle Frankenstein and take on the classic-look Lobo in order to prevent the Earth's destruction. The...
I've been really enjoying this series, Vol.4 was a little bit slow I had my issues with it.But this one, this one here..... was pretty much the same thing. I don't understand the logic in finishing the last volume with another issue in this volume. though it made the last storyline make alot more sense after finding that stuff out. THAT'S WHY YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PUT IT AT THE END OF VOLUME 4! Anyways the first bit is fun and exciting but the last like 25% was not needed. I feel bad for anyo...
I like this series, I do. But this volume was not a good representation of it. There were some good moments. But mostly, this book was just okay.
The first issue of this trade belongs in volume 4. It was the colmination of the whole League of Assassins storyline. (Just imagine if DC had editors that actually paid attention to detail!) After that the story shifts to a story set in space that felt kind of like filler. This book again reminds me of how DC has turned into Wildstorm 2.0. All flash, no substance.
Kind of a random collection of stories. Some of them resolve to quickly.
Ranking the Big Picture at 3 stars, the League of Assassins wrap-up that for some reason is here instead of vol 4 is still a solid 4-4/5 stars. A nice side story for the Outlaws. Roy gets accidentally kidnapped by aliens, who work for Lobo, who is trying to destroy Earth just because. Jason and Starfire work to catch up to the ship, take on Lobo, save the Earth, no big deal. Fluff and fun with some good Roy moments using his genius, and showing Starfire as a powerhouse.
This series gets better and better (even when there's an author change and everything)! In the Outlaws' latest adventure, they encounter Ra's al Ghul and his all-powerful League of Assassins. Will Jason, the one who was tossed into the Lazarus Pit, defeat the man who craves the Lazarus Pit and will do anything to protect it? Will Starfire and Arsenal stand by their best friend regardless of his recent memory loss? Will I ever stop asking questions? Find out in the newest installment of Red Hood
Only reason i bought this was because of the cliffhanger from last volume. The conclusion of the Ra's Al Ghul story was pretty good i give you that. But there is this Big Picture storyline which is awful and wrong character development. And the last chapter is pretty confusing, i still havent understood when did it happen and how did it happen.2.5 points
If you just ignore how this volume is collected then it's not as bad, the end of volume four is stuck here and then the other story with the ship feels added on, they don't really fit together. However roy being stuck on that ship is the best bit about this volume, it's quite a good little story actually and i'm a total sucker for roy saving the day!
I liked this one, but didn't love it. Lot's of action, but I think I am just bored with space stories and aliens- I prefer more street level crime fighting. The last issue in this collection does have an Earthly setting, Hong Kong, to be exact, but features only Arsenal working solo without his teammates. I think I'll concentrate on some other titles before I finish the last two volumes in this series.
another action packed installment in this awesome series. i absolutely loved the chaos and action throughout this volume. i adore Jason Todd and this volume was no exception.
