I was really concerned when Gail Simone left this book. But they kept the same artist, Nicola Scott, so the book kept it's feel. And Sean McKeever is no slouch in the scripting department, so . . . I think we're going to do ok. Misfit get's in to a little trouble this issue. And Superman shows up to reprimand the whole team. They're chasing after the little girl who wants to make a name for herself in the mob world of Metropolis. Actually, she wants to take her father's name after he's killed. But being only a 17 year old blond, nobody takes her seriously. But they don't know she's a sociopath. Oracle follows her to what she thinks in a gun buy, but, things turn wrong rather quickly. Huntress ends up chasing her down. But the truck isn't as it appears. They think it's a bomb, but it turns out to be a Transformer type of thing. The truck turns in to this huge female robot type of thing. Apparently she wants to kill all the other mob bosses with her bare hands. Well . . so to speak. The robot's hands actually. But at the last minute, against orders, Misfit jumps in to knock the girl out. The problem is, she doesn't know how to control the machine. And it immediately begins turning in on itself, creating this big whirlpool type of thing. Misfit can get out, but she's not going to be able to get the girl out because she can't take a person with her when she jumps. So regretably she does leave, and shortly after the machine disappears taking a small chuck of Metropolis with it. The girl, and some residents also go with it. Which is why Superman shows up to let them know that he's watching them. He thinks they seriously overstepped their abilities with this one, and that they shouldve called in someone for back-up. So the issue ends with everyone on the team feeling a little down, and Babs questioning her leadership and their missions. Another great issue, in a long run of them. Fantastic series, and great characters.
