Red Hood will soon be getting a new ongoing series written by Gretchen Felker-Martin (Manhunt, Cuckoo) with art by Jeff Spokes (Jenny Sparks). Coming this September, Red Hood will be both rated for mature readers (17+) and set in DC’s main continuity. The story will see Jason Todd teaming up with Huntress Helena Bertinelli to hunt down a serial killer in the city of New-Orleans-inspired “New Angelique”.
Sweat, blood, and powder burns. Broken bones and mind control. A city rotted from the inside out. 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.
-Gretchen Felker-Martin
Gretchen’s writing is a well-crafted blend of superheroes and pulp noir, all with a New Orleans flavored backdrop. [The series is] gritty, bloody, sexy, and stripped down.
-Jeff Spokes
Red Hood is the in-continuity story Jason Todd fans have been waiting for. It delivers high-stakes action, a gripping mystery, and raw, unapologetic storytelling. Every element of the book highlights the core aspects of Jason’s character—his difficulties with personal connections, his badass training, his brooding hotness, and his violent approach to heroism. Which means he’ll be killing people—a lot. Let me repeat myself: this is the story Jason Todd fans have been waiting for.
