What happened to Hawkman? Normally that title is right behind Red Hood.
Wouldn't it be strange if the second issue of a new arc sells better than the first one? At least it sounds strange to me.

[QUOTE=Arsenal;4351692]Wow, Hood beat Nightwing in sales this month[/QUOTE]
Mind blown.
[QUOTE=Zaresh;4351695]Yeah. It's weird. I want to believe that we went back to the 20-22k figures, instead of NW dropping under 20k.[/QUOTE]It looks actually more like the Red Hood sales went up, because it is now also above some other books that sold more than 20K issues last month like X23, Spider Gwen , Justice League Odyssey, Black Panther and Punisher.
Maybe it was the Variant Cover?

I don't know. The variant cover wasn't that good, imho (but that's just my opinion). It was the one with the "skullman" Red Hood, which wasn't much commented on the net as far as I saw (not as much as the ones by Yasmine Putri). The variant was made by Lucio Parrillo, who I have no idea if it's an artist with a big fanbase or not. But still, gaining what? 4k new sales maybe? It has to be a bit of both at least, I think (variant and new readers catching up).
Haven’t all of the recent RH:O books had a variant cover?

Bur it seems still more likely to me that Red Hoog gained that much, than that all the other books dropped drastically, but we will probably see the actual numbers soon.

The last time RH did so good (not counting the foil cover issue) was at the start of the last arc.

And this other one is cool.
Also, because this latter artist was commenting on loose pencils and trying different things: getting loose while sketching is the right thing to do: gesturing is probably as much if not more important than having clean lines for the final drawing, imho.
Edit:
[QUOTE=G-Potion;4353492]Wow. How did it do that.[/QUOTE]
New interesting-so-far arc + New team for Jason to work with + Penguin + Gotham + variant cover + a really cool regular cover, maybe? I honestly have no idea. 6k is a lot.
Or maybe it was the vest suit. Those are cool, people know.
[QUOTE=G-Potion;4353492]Wow. How did it do that.[/QUOTE]
Something should have changed for that issue. Maybe the variant cover?
I can't be sure, but some variant covers can really increase the sales. The variant cover for Red Hood Outlaw #33 is pretty good.

Depends on your taste. Personally, I think it's ugly and doesn't suit the story in that issue at all. Or the visual style inside. It's pretty "urban horror" average, honestly (with all my respects to the artist, because no way I could do something like that myself).
In any case, it couldn't be the variant cover alone. It's 6k, and it's not even a well known artist, or a collectionable event. 4k, I could see it, somehow. But 6k... That's a lot.

I don't think the cover suits the story either. However, I think this is the kind of variant cover that can increase the sales for that issue.
A well known artist can increase a lot more than 6K. In March, Supergirl with Artgerm variant cover sold 32K. In April, Supergirl without Artgerm variant cover sold 19K.
Sure but Lucio Parrillo doesn't seem to be anywhere close to Artgerm's league and I'd wager Putri's more well known and yet she has never driven sales up like this.
Maybe a boost because of the Year of the Villain event? Or the annual cover? Some old fans could have come back because they hope Artemis and Bizarro will return soon.
Or some New52 fans returned since the All-Caste plays a major role again.

[QUOTE=Sergard;4353816]Pete Woods has changed his twitter name to [URL="https://twitter.com/thatpetewoods"]Detective Pete-kachu[/URL].[/QUOTE]
Phhh.. Ph... A ha ha ha.
Woods has also done a [URL="https://twitter.com/thatpetewoods/status/1127300764064473091"]redesign[/URL] of Mordru for Justice League Dark.
It looks good in my opinion. But if Woods wanted to draw a black-haired man with a white streak in his hair, he could have drawn Jason, just saying.
And there's also [URL="https://twitter.com/thatpetewoods/status/1127105442772025344"]this[/URL] suspicious looking post on twitter: "[I]Something potentially big in the works. Could use some good luck wishes if you’ve got any to spare.[/I]"
That doesn't seem to be related to RH:O. So maybe a own private project? But does that mean that Woods wants to leave RH:O?
I'm not a big fan of his work so I would be happy if we were to get a new artist on the book. That said, he mentioned in an earlier tweet he would be doing coloring work for DC.

Yeah I agree, Woods work is Solid but I cant say I'm a fan of his style overall. It's fine when Jason is wearing his mortal RedHood Kombat gear, so for the previous arc it was okay, but for an arc that is spent out of costume and relying on a central idea of keeping up stylish appearences, his gritty and blocky style just does not work for me at all.
As I said though, he is still a solid artist. I'm more afraid of someone like mooneyham taking over. Good god, I was never a huge fan of his work before but his art in nightwing is so unappealing and messy its ridiculous. The juxtaposition between his issues and Travis Moores in that title is a site to behold.
Speaking of which, I think Travis Moore would have been great for this rhato arc, at least as a guest artist.
I don’t mind his style, I’ve enjoyed books with far less of an appealing stye than his.
Am kinda curious to see how he handles Biz & Artemis though.

Do tell :D
We talking like a Chris Burnham kind of 'unappealing' whether its a matter of if you like the style or not. Kinda take it or leave it.
Or we talking a Rob Liefeld kind of 'unappealing' where sooner or later you realize the artist may be lacking some decent art studies.

I've seen a few spoilers on tumblr. In case anyone's curious here is the one panel of Jason in this weeks 'Batman'.
For some context, Babs is calling and gathering each member of the family for a meeting cause the bat signal is red or something or rather, and that's a bad sign (i dont know)

So that's what Rocafort has been working on.
