If the teaser pages and description of the issue are any indication, Lobdell and Colak are going to drop a Steinbeckian, heart-wrenching narrative on us. Bizarro just wants to do right by his friends, but he’s unchecked power without the cognitive capacity to control it on his own–or, maybe, even with the help of his teammates. Will pragmatism win the day? This will be one of those “I want to look away, but I can’t” issues, and I’m alternately jazzed and dreading it. In the best possible way.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #7, written by Scott Lobdell with Mirko Colak on art, is on sale Wednesday from DC Comics.

From the official issue description:

“How do you solve a problem like Bizarro?!” Now that Black Mask is defeated, Artemis continues her quest for the Bow of Ra—a weapon of immense power. Meanwhile, Jason is dealing with an immense power of his own—Bizarro. What’s to be done about such a volatile creature…and is he too dangerous to be kept alive?
