    This is really early. I'm betting it's because they got it ready early (since it was with the second art team, allowing them to work ahead), and there's been so many delayed issues recently.

    Anyway! It looks awesome! Love seeing a focus on Bruce being awesome in the long awaited Ferrari (though it totally should have been a Lambo. Much more subtle. Which joke got a like from the writer on twitter. ).

    Markovia? I wonder if this all connects back to the original Outsiders, or more specifically Geo-Force?

    I'm not sure how I feel about Batman using a strain of Crane's Fear Toxin against someone, even if they totally deserve it.

    I'm really liking what Hill's doing on the book. He's not sticking on it though, right? Would love to see him write Tim into the current dynamic.

    He did it to Crane in Batman Begins! I buy it.

    hum...looks good...although this just further makes me think that Karma is just a random guy that found a helmet with mind-reading powers, and now can beat up Cass (of all people) even though he doesnt even have the speed to keep up...but we'll see, hope im wrong...

    I think the armor gives him more than just mind reading powers.

    All of these have been. Really glad he's on the variants.

    The ending wasn't as impactful as the last one, probably because they were just too similar, but otherwise, this issue of Tec continued the quality established since the first number of this arc.

    I thought this issue was pretty solid. The car ride and flashback were really moody and effective, and Briones did a pretty strong job (though I wish they'd commit to an art team for this book, not just rotate Briones and Mendonca around for every book as fill-ins). Didn't like the burning alive of the reporter, even if she was a jerk to her interview subjects in this arc. The Jefferson, Duke, Cass, and Babs scene was really fun, though hopefully it leads to them being more active in the two parts left of the arc!

    So, as somewhat of a completionist for the character, has Katana appeared in this arc so far? I see she's going to be in next month's issue, but I'm curious if she's already popped up.

    She did not.

    And finally the last one.

    This arc isn't working for me so I'm going to drop it. I wanted to give it a chance like with Percy on NW due to a bet, but I end up not enjoying them anyway so back to only RHATO and Batman on my list from the bat-line (certain someone is owning me a refund..).
