DC will launch an ongoing ‘Red Hood’ title in September

Gretchen Felker-Martin, Jeff Spokes and Becca Carey give Jason Todd a new mission and a new city to protect.

Every Robin is somebody’s favorite Robin, and that includes Jason Todd. The former dead Robin will return to the spotlight in a new series written by Gretchen Felker-Martin, with art by Jeff Spokes and lettering by Becca Carey. Red Hood, billed as a “17+” series, will be set in New Angelique, which is described as a “New Orleans flavored backdrop.”

“Sweat, blood, and powder burns. Broken bones and mind control. A city rotted from the inside out,” said Felker-Martin. “Jason’s going through hell on the hunt for an enigmatic telepath, and he’s taking us with him. I’m thrilled to be helming this new run of Red Hood with Jeff Spokes.”

Through this lens, we’ll explore the grip of Jenny’s time on our own; how, despite all our desperate prayers, the sins of our past refuse to die away. Featuring astonishing art by Jeff Spokes (seriously, it’s so damn good), Jenny Sparks seeks to set the bar in superhero comics, to show how our heroes can illuminate and define our moment.”

‘Batman: The Brave and the Bold’ anthology lands in May

The first issue features stories by Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Dan Mora, Christopher Cantwell, Javier Rodríguez and more.

DC has revealed more details about the new Batman: Brave and the Bold series they announced back in November. The series will be an anthology, with not every story featuring Batman.

The comic takes its title from the series that ran from the 1950s until 1983, which started as an anthology title but eventually evolved into a Batman team-up title. It was replaced by Batman and the Outsiders, and the title has been dusted off for a couple of mini-series projects since then.

The first issue will have four stories:
