Just read HIC#1

Roy deserved better.

And yes, the whole thing is a mess.

And spoilers:

Wally.

end of spoilers But that doesn't matter here.
I... Seriously, this looked a lot better when it was first announded, months ago. This... This is a mess that will make unhappy a lot of people. Even with pretty art.

Thats basically the case with most of the stuff King has put out.

Not much change on the new logo

That`s like being surprised of someone hurting himself over a free fall. It was telegraphed miles away.

Haven`t read it yet but Tom King and Gold.

Here we go again.

So yeah. Artwork is bloody fantastic but this feels like Identity Crisis 2.0. Time will tell if this is a rehash or the improvement.

Booster`s part wasn`t terrible but I don`t necessarily think it makes sense of his costume being easily shredded by a kitchen knife (like, what is the point then?) but that is hardly absolute and there is precedence even from Jurgens.

Non-ironically, from another bat villain.

I mean, the original idea, as a concept, could have been neat, if well written and with an introsopective purpose. I should've known better :/.

[Aioros22]

I just mean Roy dying. The moment Loedbell wrote his farewell words in the Annual, it was obvious he was buying it.

The concept of a Sanctuary in a superhero frame is neat, it really is, but by making this IC 2.0 you won`t see it coming to fruition because it`s just the backdoor to a crime story.

The only good thing this week is Artemis' new weapon in WW 55. Some mean part of me hopes that she'll use it in RHatO (on Jason, for shenanigans).

This artwork looks real good on the cover however.

We're having such a good luck with all the covers.

Didn't know she was in WW this week. Gonna check it out. I miss her and Jason's banter.

Yeah, she's been in the last few issues. Though, Orlando dialed her character back to pre-Red Hood and the Outlaws Rebirth, and no mention of Bizarro or Jason. Which is odd, as Artemis has the Bow of Ra in it, and had left the Bana Amazons and Quracis on a peaceful note.

Really that bad?
I saw some panels already spoiling the death scenes but I was still kinda curious to see the story, but like, is it really not worth the purchase?

Not much change on the new logo

Figured there wouldn't be, the removal of 'and the' and 's' were simplistic changes made for the sake of marketing the new arc but I'm not too surprised they didn't change the bat logo within the RED HOOD, changing the graphic logo and major branding for a comic that was going down a temporary road and isn't a new book overall would have been a waste of time.

[RedBird]

Now there's an UTRH au :P

ameeg

Haha, okay I finally read the issue. NOW this joke makes sense

For anyone wondering spoilers:

Diana gifted Artemis the 'Lasso of Submission', in the process renaming it to 'The Golden Promise'. It's a magical lasso which Diana had originally took from Superwoman since it was too dangerous and powerful in her hands. It has enhanced strength and the ability to compel obedience and even love from its capture.

end of spoilers

Even if it's not used for those shenanigans, I do hope it shows up in rhato (eventually) regardless, seems useful.
