Will the Red HoodÕs latest campaign be his last? JasonÕs 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, whoÕs the new Wingman, and whyÕs he tracking the Red Hood? And how can he and Jason be in the same place at the same time? Find out in ÒOutlawÓ part five!
No sooner has Batman's former sidekick, Jason Todd, put his past as the Red Hood behind him than he finds himself cornered by a pair of modern day outlaws: Green Arrow's rejected sidekick Arsenal, the damaged soldier of fortune, and the alien Starfire, a former prisoner of intergalactic war who won't be chained again. As a loner, Jason has absolutely no interest in this motley crew of outlaws. So what's he going to do when they choose the Red Hood as their leader?
Jason Todd no longer exists. At least, not the Jason Todd who was a friend and ally to Starfire and Arsenal. That man is gone, his memories wiped clean following a shattering confrontation with Batman and the Joker. Now, the man once called the Red Hood is looking for a fresh start. But dark forces are looking for him. The nameless entities of evil called the Untitled are massing their power, ready to plunge the world into darkness. Only one group stands in their way, an organization every bit as evil: The League of Assassins, criminal mastermind Ra's al Ghul's army of murderers and thieves. But the League needs a leader - a leader resurrected in a Lazarus Pit and trained by the best killers alive. The League of Assassins needs Jason Todd. But so do Arsenal and Starfire. Will they be forced to destroy their friend in order to save him? Bonds are tested, betrayals are revealed, and the battle of a lifetime begins in RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS: LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS (collecting RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #19-25 and Annual #1), from James Tynion IV, Julius Gopez, Al Barrionuevo, Ray McCarthy, Walden Wong and Jeremy Haun!
A warrior princess. A weapons master. A resurrected Robin. Starfire, Arsenal, and Red Hood – the Outlaws – have come by their heroism the hard way. They've been beaten down, cast out, even killed. That's what makes some of the most powerful criminals in the world, even the universe, underestimate them. And that's a big mistake. The terrorist mastermind called Ra's al Ghul, whose endless life has long been intertwined with the Red Hood's, is gunning for the power of a god. A secretive crimelord who built his enormous fortune by slaughtering wealthy families down to the last heir is preparing an ambush. And in the deeps of space, an indescribably deadly warlord is testing a weapon that could destroy all life on earth with a touch of a button. This madman — this Main Man — is known simply as Lobo. But to Red Hood and the Outlaws, he's just the next challenge to take down…or die trying… Writers James Tynion IV (BATMAN ETERNAL) and Will Pfeifer (TEEN TITANS) join a team of talented artists for RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS VOL. 5: THE BIG PICTURE—pitting the toughest team in the New 52 against their biggest foes to date! Collects issues #27-31 and DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #17-18.
They began as outcasts; they became Outlaws. Over the last few years, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire have survived encounters with all types of evil, forging bonds that have held them together as a team, and as friends. But even the strongest of friendships is susceptible to the reopening of old wounds, and a secret from the past is about to tear this trio apart. The team encounters a spaceship broadcasting a message for Princess Koriand'r, known to Earthlings as Starfire. What she finds within the vessel stirs up memories of a time before she came to this planet, a time when she traversed the stars freeing those enslaved as she once was. What she finds is the horror of all those attempts at fighting oppression turned to cinder. And what she finds within herself is a burning rage long suppressed, a fire that can no longer be contained. The dynamics between this team of antiheroes is forever altered as writer SCOTT LOBDELL (TEEN TITANS) and artist RB SILVA (SUPERBOY) -- with additional art from TOM DERENICK, CORY SMITH, and RAFA SANDOVAL -- bring you RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS: LOST AND FOUND!
