Red Hood and the Outlaws is one of DC's Rebirth collection. A relaunch/reboot starting back in 2016. It's one of my favorites along with Nightwing, Deathstroke, and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corp. And this is the most recent volume.
Red Hood: Outlaw collects issues 26 from Red Hood and the Outlaws, Annual 2, and Red Hood Outlaw 27-31. Before you ask, there really isn't much of a difference between Red Hood and the Outlaws and Red Hood: Outlaw except for the slight title change between issues 26 and 27.
This picks up after Jason Todd (a.k.a. Red Hood and Robin number 2) gets into a fight with Batman. With the help from his best friend and fellow Outlaw Roy Harper (a.k.a. Arsenal) he's on the mend for the first few issues. Along the way the pick up on a case that they were working on back in the New 52 (in Red Hood and the Outlaws and/or Red Hood/Arsenal). But this tag team adventure is cut short when Roy leaves to get some help at a "rehab for capes" (which is part of a story known as Heroes in Crisis), but Jason promises to finish it. Especially when he find out that Roy *Spoiler for Heroes in Crisis* gets killed while at this "rehab for capes", which Bruce tells Jason about after the .
Jason makes a promise to finish this mission in his honor and along the way he teams up with Batwoman. we also get a glimpse into what happened to the other 2/3 of Jason's current team of Outlaws (Artemis and Bizarro).
In general, this is a series I would recommend, and is one of the few that has a returning author/writer from the New 52. That being Scott Lobdell. We have the first five volumes (including this one, the most current volume thus far) and is mean for an Adult audience.
