"Red Hood-- former Robin, resurrected and looking for a reason to live again. Starfire-- alien princess confounding her teammates with the mystery of her own memories. Arsenal-- former sidekick who hit rock-bottom and is still trying to bounce back. These three deeply damaged heroes have found refuge in their unlikely partnership-- but can they pull together enough to save the world? A war has begun between the mystic All Caste that trained Red Hood and the ancient evil of the Untitled-- with Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire caught squarely in the middle. Now the Outlaws will have to battle reanimated warriors, genetically enhanced xenophobes and unkillable assassins in order to make sense of the battle they''ve found themselves in"--Page [4] of cover v. 1.

They began as outcasts; they became Outlaws. Over the last few years, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire have survived encounters with all types of evil, forging bonds that have held them together as a team, and as friends. But even the strongest of friendships is susceptible to the reopening of old wounds, and a secret from the past is about to tear this trio apart. The team encounters a spaceship broadcasting a message for Princess Koriand''r, known to Earthlings as Starfire. What she finds within the vessel stirs up memories of a time before she came to this planet, a time when she traversed the stars freeing those enslaved as she once was. What she finds is the horror of all those attempts at fighting oppression turned to cinder. And what she finds within herself is a burning rage long suppressed, a fire that can no longer be contained. The dynamics between this team of antiheroes is forever altered as writer SCOTT LOBDELL (TEEN TITANS) and artist RB SILVA (SUPERBOY) -- with additional art from TOM DERENICK, CORY SMITH, and RAFA SANDOVAL -- bring you RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS: LOST AND FOUND!
