Well, TT plot seems suspiciously similar to the previous arc from RHATO. DC has been painfully lacking new ideas the last few months.
To be frank, I'm disappointed.
I liked the idea of Appleton - and as it seems, the story is already leaving the town although Jason has just set foot in it. I would have liked to see something similar to Catwoman. Jason having his own town - at least for an arc where he can investigate while being targeted by a stranger/strangers. Having the whole town hunting him could have been a great transition to the finale where Wingman is revealed. Why this fast pacing story telling? It feels sloppy.
Jason having his own town will be a terrible idea and it will hurt him.
And the underlife arc started issue 26. I wouldn't call this rushed.
And why wouldn't they let Jason beat Damian? He should never been a match for him in the first place.

Nah, it will be nothing. You will see. Just enough for them to break contact for a while. Solicits usually overplay this stuff for a dramatic effect.
On the other hand, it bores me to death how they are brutally forcing all the bats of the core family to be isotated. It's breaking bonds with so much potential for bringing satisfaction to the readers. I hate nonsensical melodrama: it's boring.
RED HOOD: OUTLAW #30
Will the Red Hood’s latest campaign be his last? Jason’s hot on the heels of the drugs he and Arsenal recently tracked to Beijing, but instead of finally encountering the mysterious Solitary, he finds himself face to face with a figure from his past. Plus, who’s the new Wingman, and why’s he tracking the Red Hood? And how can he and Jason be in the same place at the same time? Find out in “Outlaw” part five!So who do you think this 'Wingman' would be? They are teaming up when Solitary begins to surface. Could the old man himself dress up like Wingman? Or other known characters? (The very original one from Sweden? Creeper might be a candidate too but I don't see the necessity for him to hide his identity in front of Jason)RED HOOD: OUTLAW #31
Red Hood and Arsenal began this investigation of the Underlife together in Beijing, and this is where it ends: in an abandoned prison in Mexico. With Roy Harper having passed, Jason Todd finds himself teamed with an ally he couldn’t have imagined—Wingman! (But wait—wasn’t Jason the face beneath Wingman’s mask in BATMAN INCORPORATED?!) When it is all over, Red Hood arrives at a conclusion that will shake the streets of Gotham City…forever?
I’m saying it’s Tim Drake.
I have absolutely no evidence to support it, he’s just the first one to pop in my head when I initially read it
I'm very intrigued about both #30 and #31. Having Matteo Scalera back is very, very good. That said though, I'm also worried about Appleton potentially being rushed, but that's because of how #28 felt. We'll see. I've been liking all the issues so far but I do wish future ones to be more meaty.
