Some thoughts about Red Hood and the Outlaws #29

Red Hood and his team are about to face an intergalactic threat, again.

Life hasn't been easy for Jason, Kory and Roy in the last months and it's not going to get any easier since a new alien group who have a connection with Kory are about to unleash the power of a really dangerous weapon that could destroy everything.

This is the first issue of Will Pfeifer as the writer of this series and I must say that it's a quite solid initial chapter.

Pfeifer focuses not so much in characterization but more in concept and story, you get the basic information about the protagonists and their motivations but after that the plot mostly concentrates in the threat and some really intriguing ideas about it. This makes a quite dense read.

Still, I must say that Pfeifer does an interesting method of characterization where he let's the characters' action speak for themselves. Jason is a sarcastic and badass fighter, Starfire is a savage powerhouse and Roy is incredibly intelligent with technology, it works pretty well.

Rafa Sandoval is the new penciller and he brings the kind of creativity and energy that was lacking since Keneth Rocafort left. His style is quite vibrant, powerful and imaginative.

A surprisingly solid and compelling read, it really makes me want to see more about this creative team.
