I think the character moments are really strong on this arc, but the structure/use of characters isn't as strong as I'd hoped. I like so many individual things (gotta love that call-out to Tim and Steph with "little red boy, purple and gold girl"), but Duke didn't seem necessary here (even if Hill had just said "I can use my power to save time in finding him, giving him less time to hurt people" that would have been more efficient than just "Oh, he went that way"). Katana was cool, but again, not super necessary. Cass and Jefferson were clearly the stars of the show, with a very strong Batman showing as well.
Not quite up to the Tynion level (and for me, that's pretty high), but I'm glad to have collected this. Now I'm out of Tec until 1000, unless some miracle occurs and Steph shows up again.
With November solicits out, and no Outsiders, I'm really frustrated with DC on the schedulling and announcement of this. Just tell us it's coming!
