Hoo boy, this book is going to get torn apart by fanboys. I just see it coming. But Red Hood and the Outlaws jumped way up to one of my favs of the DCnU. And it's all because of Starfire. Sweet hubba hubba. This book has the greatest page EVER. You'll know it when you see it. It also has the best line of the new rebooted titles. You will also know that when you read it. Aside from Kori, the book has a decent amount of action, some good humor, but maybe a little weak on plot. Mostly because, yet again, we're thrown into a story we are supposed to already be familiar with. But at least the book even knows that, because at the end, instead of a "To be continued" we get a "To be explained." Hopefully it'll be explained sooner rather than later. Art wise, it's phenomenal. Kenneth Rocafort is an amazing talent. It's a unique style. Jutting edges, sharp points, yet smooth curves where needed. Nothing quite like it on the stands today. If you're looking for a fun, intrigiung, sexy book, then mission accomplished.
A little addendum to my original review: this one DID indeed get ripped apart by the internets. Frankly, I think it's ridiculous. To say Starfire is being abused is laughable. She's the one instigating everything. She was always a sexual character, no matter what the Cartoon Network show portrayed her as. Not every book has to be high literature. If you can't look at a book's rating and surmise what's going to be inside, you might not want to ever leave your homes. That way I won't have to hear your stupidity.
