Some thoughts about Red Hood/Arsenal #2

Red Hood and Arsenal will have to continue what they do best.

After saving a woman in their last mission, they're bound to start receiving jobs from her despite of the dangers they could bring. However, the rewards could be much more tempting.

Okay, Scott Lobdell continues his work in this new series and sadly, I'm still not impressed.

There are some things I do like though. There's a huge level of energy that the author brings to the table that is clearly reflected in the dynamic between Jason and Roy who fortunately remain as best friends, the action is intensive and different locations they explore have a lot of interesting faces.

Plus, it has videogame references and I love them despite of how out of place they are.

On the other hand, the pacing is kinda wonky with the story continually jumping from point to point without giving a rest. The narration can also be a bit overwritten and don't go straight to the point.

The art however, is a huge improvement over the previous issue. Paolo Pantalena handles the artwork this time and his work has a lot of energy and creativity while having a style similar to Keneth Rocafort's.

Still, I wouldn't recommend this issue despite of some good points. It's simply not one of the best.
