Black Girl Nerds / Red Hood: The Hill Review
Black Girl Nerds.com reviews the trade collection of Shawn’s “Red Hood: The Hill”, published by DC Comics. The series features, fan favorite the Red Hood, Batman and introduces a new cast of heroes and civilians to Batman’s Gotham City.
“Batman first cleared the streets of gang activity in the 1999 one-shot Batman: The Hill, written by Christopher Priest (Black Panther) and artist Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves).
Red Hood: The Hill brings Jason Todd, the Red Hood, back to his old neighborhood. He returns to protect The Hill from resurging threats, reconnect with old friends, and forge new alliances. Korlee’s son has taken up his father’s former operations under the guise of legitimate business, prompting a group of local vigilantes to rise in defense.
The second printing of Red Hood: The Hill cements its place within the larger Batman canon. It captures the complex intersection of past regrets, the pursuit of redemption, and the consequences that ripple through the community. For Jason Todd, The Hill embodies all that duality.”- Eva Brown / Black Girl Nerds.
