Jason Todd arrives in the crime-riddled city of New Angelique in Red Hood #1 from Gretchen Felker-Martin and artist Jeff Spokes.
DC Comics has been making big moves recently. Look no further than the successful launch of Batman #1 — which was only the fourth renumbering of Batman comics in 85 years. Beyond that, there’s plenty of other fresh and exciting entries coming from across the DC Universe. In this post, we’re taking a look at a preview of Red Hood #1.
Red Hood #1 comes from acclaimed writer Gretchen Felker-Martin and artist Jeff Spokes with lettering by Becca Carey. The series brings Jason Todd back to the streets, — but it’s not Gotham he’s protecting, and he’s left Batman behind. The official synopsis reads:
New Angelique, a city drowning in corruption, seems like the perfect place for Red Hood to put down roots. There’s crime, vice, and sedition everywhere. When Jason discovers a super-powered serial killer who is targeting the city’s police, he finds himself sucked into a deadly conspiracy with seemingly no end in sight.
But Jason isn’t the only person on the scene. Following his trail is Helena Bertinelli a.k.a. Huntress. Is she here to stop him, or will she join his crusade? What will happen when the two black sheep of the Bat-Family start working together?
“Sweat, blood, and powder burns. Broken bones and mind control. A city rotted from the inside out,” said writer Felker-Martin. “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.”
“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.”
Red Hood #1 arrives in stores and online on September 10, 2025. Are you ready for the new chapter in Jason Todd’s legend? Tell us in the comments down below!
