Thoughts:
(1) I love a good homage. I enjoy that Alfred is Hagrid, since he's pretty much gamekeeper to Damian's many pets.
(2) There's shot-for-shot recreations of a few scenes from Volume 4's “silent” issue, except this time Damian’s there and Batman’s smiling.

A couple things:
(1) I posted the top image yesterday. That exact scene was used twice: at the end of one issue and the start of the next. I thought it'd be interesting to show two artists' interpretations of the same script, and how the scene differs.
(2) How's Talia alive? and why's she naked?

Hot takes:
(1) Okay, I don't know what the hell just happened! I'm going to have to go over this later to see if I can figure out the logic to all this.
(2) I may have missed something, but why was Darkseid in hibernation? Was his defeat by the Justice League so devastating that he's still affected?
(3) A this point, Cyborg's essentially an Uber.

Thoughts:
(1) The battle on Apokolips had me seriously befuddled. It's like Patrick Gleason suddenly caught Scott McDaniel disease. I had to reexamine pages in painstaking detail to figure out what the heck was going on!
(2) I must have missed the light bulb moment where Batman decided resurrection was a good idea again.
(3) Cyborg's so gullible.

Musings:
(1) Just posted my review for Volume 6. I was driven to make it car-themed and have a truckload of puns left over. I must put the brakes on it, however, and keep my eyes on the road ahead.
(2) Batgirl's new Robin outfit is so much more practical than her Burnside gear. Leather jacket and leggings may be cute, but they don't stop bullets.
