Red Hood and the Outlaws #25

This extra-sized anniversary issue delivers a raw, bruising cover by Trevor Hairsine: Red Hood — his scarred face half-exposed beneath a cracked red mask — lands a brutal punch squarely on a bloodied Batman amid a shower of shattered debris, declaring "My rules. My city. My vengeance!" The tension between these two figures crackles with years of complicated history, making issue #25 feel like a genuine milestone for the series. Writer Scott Lobdell and a deep bench of artists including Dexter Soy and Phil Hester bring their full energy to "Starting or Ending" — a title that perfectly matches the high-stakes fury on display.
