Outsiders #44 - DC


At one time, we jumped a year forward. Now we're starting the process of taking a look back. The team is rattled, after last issue with Sivana, and the erasing of all technology and people's memories in Sydney. So Dick is sitting, moping, and thinking about what got them here. It's a year ago, when Roy was the team leader, and the only members left, really, are he and Grace, Shift and Anissa. Sure Dick was around, but he wasn't always around. Anyways, the four of them just took down a Dominator sleeper cell. They had been around so long, the only thing they had left was some guns, alcohol, porn and some rusty bombs. So the team was embarrassed and discouraged. They needed to get some new, or just some more, members. Anissa was terribly upset because her father, Black Lightning, was in jail for murder. That's when the Red Hood, Jason Todd, set up a meet with Dick. They go through their usual testosterone challenging at first, but finally it comes down to Jason having some information for Dick. He says he has proof that Black Lightning is innocent. He never killed anyone. Now we just have to wait until next issue to find out what that proof is. This is a great team book. Judd Winick is doing a fantastic job with these stories. Matthew Clark is off of pencils right now, Carlo Barberi is filling in for him right now. Carlo's pencils are ok, but I really hope that Matthew comes back soon. He's still doing the covers, as you can see. I really love this book, and this team.
