Batman is ready to bring the Red Hood down for good.The ending is also bittersweet and comes with a nice twist.There is something of a back-up tale with the “full” Outlaws lineup (Red Hood, Arsenal, Starfire, Bizarro, Artemis, and Creeper), and it turns out to be a storybook being read by Ma Gunn.[caption id="attachment_899934" align="aligncenter"[...]
We get to see the battle which has been built since issue one, and it leads back into the mainline Aquaman comic well.[caption id="attachment_894484" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Mera: Queen of Atlantis #6 art by Lan Medina, Norm Rapmund, and Veronica Gandini[/caption]The artwork of Lan Medina soars with this issue The fight is impactful, and the liberal[...]
Even then, balancing goofy and tragic seems to be the point, and it’s an interesting balance to attempt.[caption id="attachment_882774" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Red Hood and the Outlaws #24 art by Allison Borges and Veronica Gandini[/caption]Dexter Soy and Alisson Borges are the artists on this comic, and they balance the comic well[...]
The raise the stakes, put more people in opposition against one another, and put our protagonist into a position where she must make some tough choices.Ocean Master continues to be a fascinating character, and I hope he doesn’t drop off again after this story.[caption id="attachment_875177" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Mera: Queen of Atlantis #5 art by Lan[...]
Plus, the scenes with Tula and Erin are especially dull and seem to only serve to reiterate what we are already seeing: Ocean Master is changing as a person.Those scenes with Erin and Tula arguably go somewhere in the end, but it’s out of left field and could have been just as well shown without[...]
The finale with Jason Todd and Bizarro watching the stars while the latter’s vocabulary deteriorates even threatened to jerk a tear or two from my fetid soul.Also, watching Red Hood get one over on the Penguin likely never get old.In any case, this comic impresses with its ability to capture and assign meeting to the[...]

Superman and Wonder Woman make a brief appearance to play dumb while Mera explains why Corum Rath sent the Eel to kill Mera instead of his own soldiers; that was a little clunky and could have been handled better.[caption id="attachment_803175" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Mera: Queen of Atlantis #1 art by Lan Medina, Richard Friend, and Veronica[...]
