Red Hood: Outlaw #31 Preview and Discussion

Seriously though who can you actually trust at this point? ;p

Dog. Dog and the Outlaws.

Dog. Dog and the Outlaws.

Well yeah I'll give you that.

Dog, apparently. She was able to see through Solitary's trick in the end, when they were in the cell.

I am not serious. But, eh, maybe.

Edit: "late" is my middle name.

Dog. Dog and the Outlaws.

I am calling it now, willis disquised himself as a dog, to gain jason's trust, while faking his death in front of jason, so he could become closer to jason.

Am I the only one thinking that the hat Jason has been wearing these past issues was in fact, Roy's?

[G-Potion]

I don't remember the color of the hat he's been wearing. Is it the same?

Nah, it’s a different color.

I've been thinking some more and I find myself agreeable with the current pace it's going, current issue's wobbliness aside. First 25 issues were focused on the Outlaws inter-dynamic with the boss introduced, but lurking in the background unknown to our protagonist. Next phrase is 6 issues leading to their meeting, opposition, Jason getting away intact but it's not over yet. I don't know how much the plan has changed since then but I do like the mind bending mysteries as well as how they raise some thought provoking questions, like, whether Willis is still Willis, Jason's dad, if what's left of him is just his memory that Solitary got access to, and whom should Jason see him as. And if it's like most things I've seen, next we'll probably get to the sidequests and getting more clues to the mysteries along the way. I do worry though, because the stake is getting higher in delivery of a satisfying conclusion. It will take time, and who knows what will have changed by then.

Well now that was an interesting issue all the oddness aside. In fact I'm going to guess that we, as readers, are supposed to have found the encounter between Solitary and Jason to have been unsettling and odd. Glad to see Bunker being used again since he was the one bright spot in Lobdell's awful N52 TT run and I can't wait to see what this new "trinity" does in the next arc. I wasn't to happy about the last arc but the ending here made me excited for the next one. Also count me in with those who don't believe that this is the actual end of Solitary's involvement with Jason. The dude can mess with people's perceptions so I think its a pretty safe bet that he'll be back again and that Jason didn't really kill him.

The perfect plan! And no one would suspect it.

Jason should check Dog for a Batarang shaped mark. That would prove it.
