    Some stashed

    After a decent run of issues to start off the series, this one falls a little short of the others.  There has thus far been a pretty decent plot going with some of the most interesting writing thus far out of the entire DC reboot.  Here though there are just a few too many cliches - the villain that can't be trusted, the sexy and capable female rebel, the lull in battle for the enemies to explain themselves - the whole thing added up to a pretty generic issue by the end.  There is still a lot interesting going on here, and really this is still one of the most interesting series that DC has going, just it seems like the writers took a month off here.

I don't know if the pairing has decided to add this much action to cater to Scott Clark’s strength, which is action scenes or it just worked out this way. All I know is that it has taken this series up a whole new notch for me.I feel like the last two issues have set-up a healthy pace for the series. We had an awesome fight last issue with Grifter and Green...
