This is just one of those all around great books. Judd Winick does a fantastic job on the stories. The pace is perfect. The interaction between characters is whimsical, and believable. And the plot lines are long, involved, but not overly complicated. Then the art. Scott McDaniel is at his prime on this series. I don't know if he as any special affection towards these characters, but his pencils are always dead on with this book. Issue and issue is perfect. At the end of last issue, Red Hood, Jason Todd, killed the guys that were giving Brick a hard time about their missing gun shipment. The guys were working for the Hood. Is this guy screwed up of what? So anyways, after a little pissing match between the two, plus a mini rocket lodged in Brick's shoulder, he calms down to talk to the Hood. All Jason really wants is Bricks help in talking to the Batman and GA. Incidentally, Batman is in town because he followed the guns, and Jason, here. So at the end of the issue, they've traded dance partners. Through bullets and coercion, they manipulate them in to the buildings that they are waiting for them in, and they each tell them simultaneously, " . . . I've always wanted to meet you!". Next issue, I'm sure, the real fun will begin. Seems like the Red Hood is popping up a lot this month, doesn't it?
