Red Hood / Arsenal #8

This March 2016 issue of Red Hood/Arsenal sets an immediately unsettling tone with Leonardo Manco's cover depicting a grinning, punk-styled villain — red-haired, spiked collar, "Daddy's Girl" shirt — standing triumphantly atop a battered Red Hood, his mask torn away and held aloft like a trophy. The scene is visceral and provocative, promising real stakes for Jason Todd as writer Scott Lobdell kicks off "Harmed and Dangerous, Part One." With art by Javier Fernández and colors by Blond on interiors, this is a confident, darkly charged chapter in the ongoing partnership of two of DC's most entertaining antiheroes.
