Well, I'm sure Orphan made sense when Cass was first reintroduced, because New 52 Shiva was also a teenager and therefore unrelated to her. Am I right in thinking that they just said her parents were dead, thus, she was an orphan? Now though, classic Shiva is back as is their relationship. The moment that happened, Cass needed a new name. Frankly, she should've been rebranded in Detective Comics Rebirth.

I've read the first 7 issues and don't feel the book. It reads almost like it wishes it were an X-Men title. Is that intentionally done by Hill?
I don't think it's intentional, Hill had just happened to also be writing an X-book when this title first dropped. I haven't read it but i remember hearing that this was the superior Hill book of the two. admittedly, I've never gotten an X-men vibe from this book tho and I'm not seeing the parallel, mind elaborating?

THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

There's a Cable moment/cliffhanger early on but done as a joke I guess? Black Lightning kinda feels like field leader Logan/Storm watching his teenage army... I didn't know about Hill and X-Men but it fits. Not a fan of the art, maybe I'm too old for that. My opinion is if you connect Outsiders to Batman you need more crime genre/horror genre/espionage elements. Superheroics and Sci Fi won't do. If you liked Tynion's TEC you probably end up liking Outsiders. I've tried them both and move on for budget reasons.
Yeah, he was writing Fallen Angels. Which was poor, with a complete ignorance of X-23's history (her sister Gabby who was established in All-New Wolverine wasn't even mentioned, which is out of character for Laura) while Cable was written in a way that contradicts how Hickman was using him.
Batman and the Outsiders is a much better book, and looks like it's about to do some course correction on Cassandra Cain.

Bump with an article on the current roster : https://www.cbr.com/batman-new-outsiders-dangerous/
While I've always liked the concept, I've always found myself disappointed with the execution.
This series especially, as it feels like to me we barely have any new or meaningful interactions among the cast. Rather, Duke and Cass stay in their corner, and Katana and BL stay in theirs
Hill has mentioned that his next plan for the book (should it survive) does involve stuff for Duke, which I know will please some posters here, especially lemonpeace. Hope it's dope and his fans respond well. Hell, I hope Hill can make me one. I buy this book for Jefferson, Tatsu and Dexter Soy's art. Everything else is a bonus.
