I really like what they've been doing with this series so far. I like the way the cross-overs have been working. And I really like the variety of characters that we've seen. But, it's the Brave & the Bold. I would expect nothing short of excellence. On top of all that praise, we have Mark Waid writing and George Perez doing the art. Wow!! Story and art wise the book is also fantastic. What more could we ask for? The Legion? How are we going to bring the Legion to a Batman book? Well . . . they did it this issue. Long story short, there's a Book of Destiny that has surfaced out there. There's also a device called the Haruspex. It's a probability altering weapon. I'm not exactly sure what one has to do with the other, but somehow they're connected. Anyways, the Haruspex, last issue, merged Batman and Tharok together. It then bounced them into the future, back to Thorok's time, I guess. Luckily Batman held on to the device when they left. The problem is Batman's not supposed to be in that time, so he's been flooded with Chronal radiation. This is bad because it will cause temporal rifts, and they're going to keep homing in on Batman. So what does Batman do? He grabs the Haruspex and makes a run for it. Basically he's trying to make himself seem like a danger to their society. The Haruspex will only work on things it's perceives as a danger, so he has to play that part to get it to send him back. Meanwhile, Green Lantern, Supergirl and Adam Strange are on Rann trying to track down the book. They've tracked it to an underground movement, and a General in specific. Supergirl tries to warn them that the Luck Lords are after it also, but it comes to late. On the final page, they've arrived, grabbed the book, and declared themselves the ruler of the Cosmos. "Abbott . . . this is another fine mess you've gotten us in to." You'll have to come back next month to find out where we go from here. According to the next issue blurb, we're going to find out the secret of the Book of Destiny.
