Today, DC Comics is announcing Red Hood, a new ongoing comic book series from acclaimed writer Gretchen Felker-Martin and artist Jeff Spokes.
Launching on September 10, 2025, this mature-rated (Ages 17+) DC All In series brings Jason Todd back to the streets, but Gotham City isn’t the city he’s protecting—Jason Todd has left Batman behind. All he’s taking with him to New Angelique is his costume, his bike, a determined sense of justice, and a metal briefcase containing two handguns (and lots of bullets).
In the press release announcing the new series, writer Gretchen Felker-Martin said:
“Sweat, blood, and powder burns. Broken bones and mind control. A city rotted from the inside out. 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.”
Artist Jeff Spokes added:
“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.”
DC editor Arianna Turturro also said:
“Red Hood is the in-continuity story Jason Todd fans have been waiting for. 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. 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. 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 will launch with a main cover by Spokes and variant covers by Jim Lee, Brian Bolland, Jae Lee, Kyuyong Eom, and Nick Robles.
Artist Taurin Clarke will be the ongoing series cover artist beginning with Red Hood #2 in October.

Red Hood #1
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?
