Outsiders, Vol. 1: Looking for Trouble
by Sean Parsons, Scott Hanna, Tom Raney, ChrisCross, Marc Campos, Judd Winick, Ivan Reis
Nightwing leading a team of fighters after the loss of two friends? Uhhhh yes!
This is basically a hit team. One who hunt and take down villains, hard and fast. They don't care about press or good looks, this isn't the Teen Titans or even The Titans, these are the team who handles shit others can't. Nightwing, at first reluctantly, joins Roy as they build a new team of superheroes. This has multiple personalities and powers ranging from robotic warrior to lightning's daughter who can take a lot of damage and dish it back. This is broken into two arcs and then a one shot.
Good: Really love the dialogue back and forth between everyone. It feels like a team but a really shaky one. Not everyone just getting together and working well because they're heroes. I also thought there were stakes, as one of the main heroes gets injured REALLY badly. I also think it deals well with finding your place as heroes like these don't always fit into normal teams. Art is solid too, with some over the top fight scenes, including a fun and crazy plane crash.
Bad: The villains could have been better. Adding Joker and Grodd in for big names was okay but felt bit forced. I didn't love Black Voodoo either, he was kind of lame.
Overall, super fun. I hope this series continues as I heard great things for Titans, the followup series I plan on reading. I really love a lot of Judd Winick work. I hope he returns one day to create more. A 4 out of 5.
