This issue had too many plot threads. President Blades, Carrol, Major Drum, and Charlotte all share the limited space with a flashback crammed in. The best issues of this comic were those that focused on one or two plot threads. Trying to setup/continue four with a flashback is too much for a 22 page comic.

Beautiful book when Schmidt is the artist.

Percy has a good understanding of the importance of Black Canary's and Ollie's relationship; their relationship drives the book. What causes it to stumble is the jarring change in art. Byrne does not complement Schmidt's style.

The Injection, seemingly as the villain, is truly creepy. The conversation between it and the group is cold, calculating, and a piece of its creators. The book looks great and reads great.

Not sure where this series is going.

Perfection. It was hard to not compare Col. Weird's journey into para-zone as a gradual loss of his humanity to Dr. Manhattan's story in Watchman.
