Few interesting things in DC Comics' recent announcement of a new Red Hood series by Gretchen Felker-Martin and Jeff Spokes.

For Mature Readers

First, it is a “mature rated (Ages 17+)” series, presented specifically as being “in-continuity,” but is not, as far as what DC’s said so far, a DC Black Label title.

This is not a first for DC, as titles like Mike Grell’s Green Arrow in the 1980s were “suggested for mature readers,” though it has been a long time — 30, 40 years — since DC has done mature, in-continuity titles that were not relegated to Vertigo or Black Label, or weren’t at least miniseries.
