Soon the team finds itself a long way from the streets of Gotham in Qurac .

Now someone in Qurac is using the ancient weapon of Artemis’ people—the Bow of Ra—to commit genocide, and only an Amazon can tame its incredible power. But stopping the Bow means marching right into the middle of a war zone...and in a war between Amazons and mankind , whose side will Artemis take? Collects RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #7-11.

A WORLD AGAINST THEM The Teen Titans were the greatest team of young heroes ever assembled. Now, in the eyes of millions, they’re heroes no more. After the shocking revelations about Superboy shook the team to its core, they’re divided amongst themselves and hunted by the outside world. Their leader, Red Robin, is more isolated than ever-even as a legion of idealistic but dangerously untested young people takes to the streets of Gotham City, using his identity as an emblem for revolution. To survive as outlaws, the Titans will have to come together as never before and count on the help of unlikely allies-including former Batman protégé the Red Hood, no stranger to outlaws himself. And if they make it through, even more stunning secrets await them… Writers Will Pfeifer (RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS), Scott Lobdell (SUPERBOY) and Greg Pak (ACTION COMICS) join a talented team of artists including Ian Churchill (SUPERGIRL), Miguel Mendonça (WONDER WOMAN) and more for TEEN TITANS VOL. 3: THE SUM OF ITS PARTS-a thrilling chapter that takes the team from Gotham City to Themyscira and beyond!

Together…well, they’re still falling on hard times. With the Outlaws disbanded, Red Hood and Arsenal go into business for themselves-first as on-staff outlaws for mysterious “fixer” Tara Battleworth, then as freelance problem solvers. Unfortunately for them, business is literally booming after a jolting “job interview” with Underbelly, a seemingly invincible crime boss who claims to have a hand in the corruption running through every major city on Earth. Traveling to Gotham City to root out society’s Underbelly, the armed brothers-in-arms must also contend with a techno-suited Batman that’s unfamiliar to Jason, and the Hero Manifesto, a villainous organization looking to follow Red Hood and Arsenal’s business model by eliminating the competition. The duo even earns a bonus: facing the self-proclaimed offspring of Gotham City’s greatest mass murderer. Collects issues #1-6 and DC SNEAK PEEK: RED HOOD/ARSENAL #1.
