I never planned on getting this series. I don't like Tynion's writing and I always knew it would just tick me off. But after seeing spoilers for #6 I have to make a comment.

SPOILERS AHEAD
This was the book I was looking forward to the most (the long delay in my books arriving took away a lot of the interest I held in the other two titles I got.) After Booster was dragged through HIC and apparently shipped with the woman that tried to murder him seeing Jurgens back is definitely fantastic.
Spoilers Ahead for everything except the last two issue.
After being disappointed by comics in general I barely picked out any books this year. I'm expecting some through the mail like Nubia and Task Force Z but they still haven't shipped yet. I got Blue and Gold but haven't gotten around to reading more than a page though I'm thrilled Jurgens brought back a character.
I doubt I'll have enough comics to do a best and worst of list so I might just do reviews depending on how busy I am. Other than Blue and Gold I'm not really expecting much.
I love Star Wars Rebels, Clone Wars and the Mandalorian. Bad Batch doesn't come out as strong and I think I see why.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I could literally go into essays on the themes of this show but I've heavily involved in a project that's really time consuming right now. Regardless I do have some thoughts.
SPOILERS AHEAD
It looks passable. If I could ever find these exclusives I'd get it when it comes out. Three Jokers will also have actions figures for the Jokers and the protagonists but I would have been fine with them not getting figures. Really getting figures of all the Robins as Robins would have been amazing. Though I'd want Jason to have his New 52 Robin costume, its such an improvement over the other one and people wouldn't confuse him with Dick.
I almost didn't preorder this series because I thought King was writing it. I would have preferred a Time Masters series but it's still an improvement over HIC.
Honestly DC get some new, better written ideas that don't reduce your characters.
So this series is supposed to start a new direction for Red Hood. Can't say I'm excited since there have already been so many broken promises and false starts. But I'd be lying if I said wasn't a little excited about this series.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I'm not buying the last issue/pages online but I saw a spoiler I wanted to talk about. I'm mostly going to talk about another writer using this plot and talk about why it doesn't work.
My new comics haven't come in yet so I've been looking at posted panels from the newest "definitely the future" DC issues. Maybe some of them are good but I hate everything I've seen so far. So I'm not holding onto a lot of faith for the future of DC Comics.
This was delayed a lot longer than I planned.
There wasn't a lot of stand outs this year and honestly it has me seriously reconsidering my pull list. I did plan on dropping all comics in 2021 but I have a few things to read coming up. Though I might shift to Star Wars comics and/or Manga entirely depending on what direction DC is headed. I'm not buying any of their events so I'm already saving some money.
This will be different from previous years.
But it might take me a few days to get it done because of work.
I'm not sure what the point would be. We'll see but I don't really feel inclined to read more after the first issue.
This is good news because I did not want the two pack with red Nightwing. The only difference seems to be a darker color change for the jacket. No sign of pre-orders yet.
