Jason Todd Faces Off Against a Very Unusual Foe

Synopsis: All hell comes to the Hill…literally! Jason Todd has gone up against his fair share of monsters and paranormal creatures in his time, but he’s never gone up against anything quite like the demonic creatures that have been unleashed in the streets of his new hometown. Literal monsters roam the city, metaphorical monsters pull the strings in the shadows, and they all have Red Hood in their sights!

I'm really enjoying this Red Hood series where Jason Todd is still trying to find his place in the world — out for under the Dark Knight's shadow. Having been unsuccessful at killing Todd and The Hill Watch Group members, crime boss Demetrius Korlee, Jr. reaches out to Killer Croc for help. He's put in touch with Leonard H. Kreckk, a new personality in the DC Universe.

An unassuming, soda-swilling lump of a man, he seems popular with all his neighbors but will ultimately go down in history as one of those murderers no one suspected because he was just "so ordinary." You see, Kreckk has the ability to manifest psychic monsters in his sleep, and with a little concentration can send them off to kill the right person, for a price. 

The monsters begin to pick off The Watch group members and finally end up at Jason's apartment door where he and Dana have to fight for their lives. 

The issue ends with a cliffhanger as Batman — who's been watching the events unfolding in The Hill but hanging back — finally makes his "official" appearance.
