After a 14 month hiatus, this book is finally back on the shelves. The good news is Marc Adreyko is back as the writer. The bad new is, instead of Javier Pina, we have Michael Gaydos as the new resident artist. Michael's stuff isn't really bad, he actually show a lot of potential, it's just not the crisp clean work of Javier's. However, we did get a very nice Liam Sharp cover. That's always a plus. This book, kind of, picks up right where it left off. During it's hiatus, Kate's been involved with the Justice League a little, and the Birds of Prey a lot. So it's safe to say that she's not entirely the same person now as she was when the series ended. She's got a lot more experience now. This issue we also see Iron Munroe, Kate's grand-father. He wants to try to be a part of her life, but Kate really seems to be having a hard time with it. I guess it's because her father tried to kill her. So she's not very trusting of the men in her family. But her son, Ramsey, is a lot more forgiving. Also the Joker makes contact with Dylan . . sort of. And while looking in to a case in Juarez Mexico, Kate comes in to contact with Jamie Reyes . . the Blue Beetle. I guess this is all to show how grounded this character actually is in the DC Universe. The book is back because it has a great cast of characters and a huge potential. I just hope the readers see what this book has to offer and gives it a better shot this time. We'll just have to wait and see.
