Warning ! plunderer ahead forTask Force Z # 1
While theRed Hoodis lead a new team in the DC Universe , the fact that they ’re all zombies may make them more worry than they ’re worth . In the newTask Force Z , Jason Todd has been given the chance to run a Modern squad of formerly at peace supervillains instead of serve jail fourth dimension , though it already seems to be a somewhat stressful line . With the legal age of his mate being the edacious undead , the chance for success on delegation are minimum with Jason constantly seek to prevent his team from eating their targets ( or himself ) .
come from author Matthew Rosenberg and artist Eddy Barrows , Task Force Z # 1begins with Red Hood and his team work out in the streets of Gotham , hunting down the rascal know as Crazy Quilt who has lately escape from Arkham Asylum . Being a relatively small - prison term criminal , the Quilt should be an easy butt to take down . However , Red Hood ’s teammates such as Bane , Man - Bat , Arkham Knight , Sundowner are all zombies ( Mr. Bloom is on the team as well , though he is n’t undead ) . As a result , Bane and Man - Bat almost kill and consume Crazy Quilt , squeeze Red Hood to step in in the new issue .

Later on , Jason extend a rather frustrated and sarcastic mission account to his government handlers at Project Halperin , the broadcast behind the reviving of dead supervillains using a compound gain from Lazarus Pits ( the same supernatural water that get Jason back to lifeafter being killed by the Joker as Robin ) . While they need to cognise how their assets did , Red Hood is brutally reliable and accurately identifies the zombie squad as an rank great deal that can scantily be control .
While Halperin claim that they have the zombie villain under controller and that they should n’t be attempt to eat anyone while out in the orbit , that ’s distinctly not the case . also , when Jason and his team are sent to investigate a memory board of Lazarus Resin that ’s been taken by Mr. Freeze , Red Hood ’s zombie allies are just as athirst as ever . find as how the issue ends with Jason himself at danger ofbeing eaten by the undead Arkham Knight , it begs the question : are there not better way to organise a new DC Task Force ? Is turning dead scoundrel into unruly zombi spirit really the only option Halperin has , or did Amanda Waller truly take all the good and keep villain for herself when put together her Suicide Squad ?
While the concept of a zombie team is intriguing , it does seem to be more of a hassle than anything else . Perhaps Jason Todd will be able-bodied to discover a manner to get a better grip on his undead teammates in future offspring , but in fiat to do so he still has to survive their current mission without being exhaust . In any case , here ’s hopingRed Hood’snewTask Force Zdoesn’t result in his eventual death as a zombie ’s next meal in the DC Universe .
