Judd Winick and Scott McDaniel have really taken this book to new heights. We've now gotten a politically motivated Oliver Queen, becoming politically manipulative. I mean, if a guy can get some corporations that were trying to kill him, to finance a billion dollar housing project, then he's got a way of motivating and convincing people. Maybe a little bit of a strong arm, but hey, whatever works. And this issue . . . Batman too? What more can I say? And then the final page where we find out that Jason Todd, aka the Red Hood, is helping Brick? Lots of surprises and manipulations. We also, over the last couple of months, have seen Slade trying to get the ammunition to take Ollie down, from the shadows. It appears that Ollie's victory over him, may not have been such the landslide we were led to believe. There was someone in the prison that Slade wanted to get to, to get the information he needed about our esteemed mayor. Well, now it appears that he's almost ready to make his move. In this issue he makes a proposition to the police chief that he may no be able to resist. "Mayor Nudocerdo has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?" Another thing I've liked about this book, that I've noticed with Detective in recent months, is that the coloring is very vibrant. There's a huge difference between these two books, and some other ones. I mean, look at the cover art. Yeah the style is great, but the colors make it great also. All around, I would definitely recommend this title.
