You asked, and DC has delivered: Red Hood, a new, ongoing, in-continuity, mature-readers-only comic book series, written by Gretchen Felker-Martin with art by Jeff Spokes. The DC All In series is for ages 17+, and finds Jason Todd ditching Gotham City for New Angelique — and Huntress is along for the ride.
“Sweat, blood, and powder burns. Broken bones and mind control. A city rotted from the inside out,” said Felker-Martin via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “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.”
Added Spokes, “Red Hood is gritty, bloody, sexy and stripped down. Gretchen’s writing is a well-crafted blend of superheroes and pulp noir, all with a New Orleans flavored backdrop.”
In the series, Jason takes his bike, his costume and two suitcases filled with guns and bullets to the city… Only to discover there’s a super-powered serial killer who is aiming to take down the New Angelique police. While he gets caught up in the conspiracy surrounding the murders, Helena Bertinelli shows up to either join Red Hood or work against him. Or maybe under him, if you know what I mean, hubba hubba, awooga awooga, tongue rolls out of mouth and I start howling like a cartoon wolf.
“Red Hood is the in-continuity story Jason Todd fans have been waiting for,” said DC editor Arianna Turturro. “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.”
“Jason isn’t a regular antihero who coldly does things their own way and feels nothing,” continued Turturro. “He is an exposed nerve, a beating heart with no protection, a man lashing out at both his world and himself for the violence he has survived. Helena deeply understands where Jason has come from. They’re two severely broken people who can’t help but hurt themselves and others… and together they might just end up bringing out each other’s worst instincts.”
“Red Hood is a mature and richly layered Jason Todd series that gives the long-troubled outcasts of the Bat-Family a place to truly shine,” concluded Turturro. “Jason is going to take a crack at doing things on his own terms in a city of his own. And well, you’re going to need to read the series to see how that goes. But let’s just say that we’re not pulling any punches. Buckle up.”
Red Hood #1 hits stores on September 10, 2025, and is available for preorder on June 20. The first issue will include a main cover by Spokes, as well as variants by Jim Lee, Brian Bolland, Jae Lee, Kyuyong Eom, and Nick Robles.
