Marc Andreyko really has a lot going on in this issue. Almost to much. Kate has gone to the Vesetech facility to find out what's been happening to these girls. But . . as we found out last issue . . the Suicide Squad is already there. And this time they're on the Crime Doctor's payroll. There's also the issue of Ramsey to deal with. Last issue he tried to chase after his dog, Thor, and he stopped a garbage truck with his body. Kind of reminiscent of the scene in Smallville . . you know, where Clark stops the bus. Anyways, now Iron Munro has to explain to his great-grandson what's going on. So we get a little history of he and Phantom Lady during WWII. He talks about Grandpa Walt and Damage, but we find out that he and Sandy had another baby boy that Baron Blitzkrieg swiped. Although it's never really explained what all of this has to do with everything. However, we do find out that Thor is actually a robot. We also see a little bit of the relationship with Damon and Todd. We see Dylan Battles getting beat up for some reason. And Mark Shaw is back in the picture as he arrives at Dylan's house after the skirmish. I like all the stuff that Marc is trying to cover, but, like I said, it's almost to much. At the end, Kate is off on her own again as she heads in to Mexico to try to figure out where the Crime Doctor is holding these girls. It turns out that the Suicide Squad was actually working undercover covering the Vesetech angle for the US Government. It's really a twisted convoluted storyline that's supposed to wrap up next issue. We'll see. This issue really didn't do much for me because I'm not to thrilled with Michael Baydos' art either. It's ok. It shows promise. But I just don't like it much. I know we're trying to get this character back into the mainstream of the DC Universe . . I'm just not thrilled with the product here. I really, really hope it gets better.
