I liked this issue, but . . not a lot was accomplished as far as the women in Ciudad, Juarez. Kate did meet up with Jamie Reyes though. Apparently, her costume is an old Darkstar costume, so the Scarab on Jamie's back really hates it. Even more that it does the Green Lanterns. I wonder what that's all about. But, we probably won't address that issue in this book. Kate does need to find out about her costume though. During the fight with Blue Beetle, her staff takes her in the air as if she's flying. The best weapon she has, she hasn't even utilized yet because she didn't know it's potential. That's food for future thought. She also met, through Jamie, La Dama. She seems sympathetic towards her plight, but . . she doesn't want to get involved. "I know my place in the food chain. I leave Juarez alone. They leave my operations alone." And Bones, the head of the DEO, all but orders her to stay away from it. But there's something going on there, because after a rather heated conversation, he gets right on the phone with Amanda Waller. She also learns that somehow this local company, Vesetech, is involved. An anonymous source tells her . . "You're on to something. Vesetech has blood on it's hands. Lots of it. But not in the way you're thinking. It's worse . . what happens here. Suffice it to say, stuff happens here . . stuff that's not very nice."And, we find out this issue, it appears that the Joker and the Crime Doctor are involved. I thought it was a pretty decent story by Marc Andreyko. Michael Gaydos' art is pretty decent. It shows a lot of promise. And we're still getting some great Liam Sharp covers. All in all . . I thought it was a pretty decent book.
