I'd also like to know how the D.E.O. got wind of what is a local crime. The killing of a police officer is not a federal crime and should have fallen under the jurisdiction of state and local authorities of the time. The FBI or another federal agency would not have kept the “hair” and “blood.” Due to the nature of the case, it is unlikely that the authorities in question would request federal assistance: a formal request, which would be necessary. Internal Affairs would most likely be called in to investigate if the force in that region was honest. Corrupt cops stand out in an Untouchables-type unit. I.A. investigators would oversee the death of corrupt cops. If the corruption were widespread, then the authorities would do their best to cover up the incident and conveniently "lose" the evidence to keep their rape squad happy. How this story occurs just does not make any sense. Read Full Review

I have to say that of the titles that Geoff Johns is currently writing, this is far and away the weakest, as there's an almost sloppy quality to the plots of this book that keeps me from enjoying them. I mean this issue the killer of Kendra's parents is revealed, but it's delivered in such a clumsy fashion, and is so heavily dependent on the reader ignoring some rather glaring coincidences that I found it difficult to accept that this had been written by the same writer whose work on the Flash is the very definition of how to deliver a tightly crafted comic plot.

Still the last page does offer up the return of an interesting villain that I'm looking forward to seeing again, and Read Full Review
