I've never been the biggest fan of Scott Lobdell's work. I think Generation X with Chris Bachalo was probably his high point for me, and I enjoyed that very much. In the Nineties. But while the man has received much criticism and disdain for his New 52 work, I think I've started to turn a bit. His Doomed crossover for the Superman book has been a lot of fun, but his reaction to criticism seems to have seen him break away from some of his tropes and embrace the madness a little more. Slowly over the last few years he's grown a writing style that's closer to Peter David or Dan Slott and which is, frankly, more enjoyable and I've found myself warming to his recent work.

But I may not carry the rest of the internet with me on that. And today's Red Hood And The Outlaws #32 won't exactly make it easier with *that cover*…

Which also probably defeats the purpose of having a "bombshell" variant cover. But within, Scott Lobdell looks like he's getting his defence in early. Would it be too much to read a little self defence over dealing with "haters" online in this kind of scene?

Maybe. But the next scene kinda hits it right on the nose.

There you go internet! You have been told! By Scott Lobdell, no less. Whatever you say online doesn't actually count…

Red Hood And The Outlaws #32 is published by DC Comics today. Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, currently exhibiting the work of Shaky Kane.
