As expected, this is turning out to be a fantastic series. Chuck Dixon is wonderful on these team books. Especially in the spy and espionage genre. They're on a mission. But, it's been unfolding gradually. Chuck's been using the last few issues for some character building and interaction. He's really good at it. But, as good as the story is . . . Julian Lopez and Bit's art is equally as incredible. They do a tremendous job of conveying the story through the pictures. Their style on this book is one where you could actually get the gist of the story without having read it. That's how good his frames and flow are. But the dialogue . . just makes it that much better. Green Arrow doesn't trust Batgirl. For obvious reasons. And he lets everybody know it. Finally one time when they're alone in the forest Ollie says, "I could have killed you." To which Batgirl suggests, "Why not try? It might make you feel better." And then it's on. The next 2 pages are non-stop action, and they go at it full-tilt. After Batgirl nearly get eaten by a crocodile . . until Ollie shot it that is . . Ollie's standing on the shore, sweating, and says, "Damned if that don't beat all. I do feel better." Next issue it looks like they're going to be dealing more with their mission. They're trying to stop a rocket launch, from the European Space Agency, that has a payload provided by Jardine industries. A payload that is going to help Brother-eye and the OMAC's. That can't be allowed to happen. But Jardine has his own little super-powered squad, and at the end of this issue . . they're about to become engaged. So far this is a fantastic series, that's definitely lived up to the integrity of all it's predecessors. What is this? Volume . . 4 . . I think. I have a feeling it's just going to get better.
