Okay, here's a more detailed list of the things I liked in RH:O #43:
(The only thing that I really had a problem with was the artwork.)
+ The cover (Dan Mora has a beautiful art style and Rex Lokus' colors fit perfectly. It would have been nice if their names had been mentioned on the team list.)
+ Ben Abernathy (the editor of DCeased and Unkillables) is one of the editors of this issue.
+ An appearance of Suzie Su (Suzie Su is an icon and always will be. There's nothing better than an enemy-turned-friend-character. Which also reminds me of Crux who, sadly, still hasn't made his return.)
+ An appearance of another Su sister
+ Su sisters bonding
+ Suzie defending Jason
+ Death is a "she"
+ Addressing Suzie's ability to return from the dead
+ Dark Trinity being together
+ Jason praising his teammates (*)
+ Jason being more focused on being annoyed than actually caring about the fact that he's falling off a train
+ Artemis saving Jason (**)
+ Jason admitting that he feels lonely
+ return of the Untitled
+ Artemis reminding us that she's not your normal "mortal"
+ Bizarro's little sun joke (reference to the last annual)/Bizarro being fun in general
+ Jason using the All-Blades to nullify the effects of the Untitled
+ the mystery about Jason not being able to recognize the Untitled
+ General Grandpa
+ Outlaws going to Qurac
+ teacher interviews
+ a giant ape in a suit
+ Dog being the most beautiful, precious little furball on the planet
+ Essence
(*) I'm not a fan of the wording. I do consider Wonder Woman awesome (and I'm surprised that Jason doesn't). And Superman has a big heart - so does Bizarro. But I'd never compare them and say that one has a bigger heart than the other.
But that's a general and often reoccurring problem in superhero comics: Praising a character by putting someone else down. For this specific scene I would have liked more context. Because it also reads like Jason is a little mad at Wonder Woman and Superman.
Considering that Wally West and HiC were mentioned in the last issue, I could easily see Jason being mad at the Trinity because of what happened in the Sanctuary - a place that they designed and therefore they should take responsibility for the things that happened there.
(**) I hope we'll get more context for Artemis' harsh behavior. Currently, I think this can go two ways.
1. Artemis' is subconsciously mad at Jason because he rejected her in the last issue. We, as readers, know that both Artemis and Jason have lied at the end. We know that Jason knows that Artemis has lied. But it wasn't shown if Artemis knows the same.
It's possible that Artemis actually thinks that Jason isn't interested in her. And being rejected by someone you like hurts. The issue also shows that Jason isn't as content about the current non-relationship with Artemis as he tried to make us and himself believe at the end of the last issue.
His "I don't need her. I don't." is also a nice parallel to Jason's " I don't care! I don't ... care. I don't." from RHatO #23.
2. The Outlaws have just gotten back together - and Jason is already in a potentially deadly situation (falling off a train like that at least doesn't look very healthy.) Never mind that this could also trigger bad memories of Jason and Artemis falling in RHatO #25.
Artemis' being kind of harsh and excluding Jason from the fight is maybe her way of being a little bit too overprotective. Because in the end, Jason is the most ... "fragile" out of the Dark Trinity. It's good that this issue also shows that Jason has his rightful place on this team when he later on saves Bizarro and Artemis by nullifying the attack of the Untitled.
