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.

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.
