They're just mediocre. However, when compared to where the series was a year before, a little mediocrity looks like solid gold.Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668210084848809730.post-89908591427789412272013-12-12T14:28:57.045-05:002013-12-12T14:28:57.045-05:00It was a marginally better issue that the one befo...It was a marginally better issue that the one before, tho it still has some way to go I feel.<br />Two things irk me tho - Batgirl playing the parachuting revolutionary going to rescue Dinah; yes she used a parachute early in her run here but its so unlike her to act like a soldier type.<br />And the second? Batgirl and Strix getting in that air transport - what the hell?!? They just step in and let this whoever he is just whisk them away, are they that stupid? He could've been anyone, but then the amount of betrayals going on in this book we shouldn't be surprised anymore.<br />Dinah and Condor were refreshingly well-written within the limitations of this book's characterization, and even this Regulus [reminds me of Dr. Regulus from the LSH] is a curious Image-looking type villain.<br />Theres a real effort tho to have some real storytelling going on in this book and some attempt at giving some depth to the lead characters, and that is some consolation.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.com
