The last book ended unresolved, and since this book marks the end of Swierczynski's tenure as writer, I figured I may as well continue. Romano Molenaar takes over art duties, which is a breath of fresh air. He's very much DC house style, but in a very 90s way. That's not a bad thing. It reminds me of the old Simone/Benes Birds of Prey run.

Maybe it's the increased detail in the art or a last-ditch cry for attention, but I've noticed a significant uptick in violence with this volume. Perhaps it's emblematic of the New 52 in general? I've mentioned before how I dislike "heroes" like Starfire and Arsenal killing, justified or not. This isn't Deathstroke bloody, but it's uncomfortable.

This volume is a public admission of failure, transitioning Swierczynski out as writer and reshuffling the team, which never really was much of a team. I appreciate that DC will change writers when a series is struggling, to sort of diagnose if it's a flaw in concept or execution, whereas Marvel would just cancel it at the first sign of weakness.
