Notes:
(1) The opening arc by Taylor is the best mainstream superhero story I've read in a while.
- A shame it's only 1/3 of this book, and what remains will almost certainly diminish my overall assessment.
- Really, it doesn't feel like a New 52 story at all. The personalities of both main characters feel downright Pre-Flashpoint.
(2) Makes me want to read more Tom Taylor.

Notes:
(1) Well, that's one more series crossed off my list.
- Now I just have the tail ends of a couple series and a handful of minis, events and tie-ins, and then I'm done with the New 52 forever!
(2) The last arc wasn't bad, but each issue was worse than the last. I'm going to have to rate every arc and weigh them against page count to come up with a grade for this one.

Notes:
(1) It's going to be really hard for me to rate this book.
- The out-of-context crossover issues (Parts 2 and 5 in this case), weren't bad and I wasn't annoyed by them. But that might be because, at this point, I've read every last issue of the crossover out of order, so I can more or less fill in the gaps.
- I'm sure if I'd only read these two, I'd be well confused.

Notes:
(1) This book is written by Tom Taylor, Peter J. Tomasi, and Frank Tieri. Whichever editor was responsible for hiring writers to fill out these final issues, seemingly didn't leave the T section of their rolodex.
(2) The first issue by Tom Taylor is pretty good. Alas, I predict a steep fall in quality past this two-parter.
- The usual DC crossover madness is at play.
