Only one more issue to go? Say it isn't so! I love this book. This team of misfits and freaks couldn't be more dysfunctional if they tried. I mean, after their last battle, Deadshot and Knockout got drunk and started knocking boots. Well we all know Scandal is in love with her. So when she finds out, all hell hits the fan. In Lawton's defense, "What was I supposed to do, man? Say no? Look at her for Christ's sake!" And Knockout, being from Apokolips doesn't understand how the sex can make Scandal angry and hurt. "Is it the sex? On apokolips, after a battle, the survivors always . . . . this man means nothing. Less than nothing. Kill him if you must." Not exactly the accolades Lawton was looking for. And while I think that Scandal was truly upset, I think she over emphasized her anger, to give her an excuse to take off an head to her father. Vandal Savage wants an heir, and he wants Catman to contribute the genetic material to his daughter to make that happen. If he doesn't go along with this, Vandal has vowed to kill the entire group. So that's why, I think, Scandal took off, to go to her father and try to save her friends. But with Vandal's friends, Dr. Psycho and Cheshire, that may be a harder nut than she thought. Next issue this storyline's going to wrap up. But, where are we going to go from there? This is to good of a group, and to good characters, to just let them wind up in limbo somewhere. There's gotta' be some future plans for them. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
