DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of next week’s Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #3 from writer Scott Lobdell, with art by Adam Pollina and Dexter Soy. The Annual is just one of a number of such titles hitting the stands this week, as the combination of a fifth week in the month and Comic Con hangover combine to make for an unpredictable week of releases from major publishers. The issue will follow up Bizarro and Artemis, who have been off the board since Red Hood and the Outlaws #25, while Jason Todd has been trying to cope with all the losses in his life.

Lobdell will be following up on one of those losses — the death of Roy Harper, which took place within the pages of Heroes in Crisis — in Flash Forward, a miniseries featuring Wally West. West lost control of his powers while under severe stress, which led to the deaths of several people at Sanctuary, a mental health facility for superheroes and supervillains. One of the victims was Harper. You can see the preview pages in the attached gallery, and the official solicitaiton for Red Hood & the Outlaws Annual #3 below.
