This book is growing on me real fast. Of course it doesn't hurt that Scott Lobdell is writing some great stories here. We're only on issue #3 and already Scott seems to have a fantastic grasp of these characters. This issue is actually spent mostly following Edward Nigma. There's been some seeming suicides lately in town, but Edward is starting to see a connection between them. Specifically that there's clues being left to their next crime . . much in the way he used to. We get to see a little interaction between him and Batman, Dick. And Edward is sensing that there's something different about him. But he's willing to play along. It turns out there's a new Riddler in town and she calls herself Conundrum. There's actually 3 people in the group, and again their being directed by somebody else. We don't know who that is . . yet. Anyways, Edward and Dick work together to bring him down, and we see that these guys' relationship is off on much the same note as it was with Bruce. Meanwhile, Selina and Ivy spend most of the issue looking for Harley. It's not like she hasn't disappeared before, but . . this time they think there's some foul play involved. On the final page, Dick and then Selina find out that she's been spotted around town with Bruce. Whom we know to be Thomas Elliott. And after what Selina and her cohorts put Hush through . . this can't be anything good for Harley. Like I said, I really enjoyed the story. I also thought Guillem March's pencils were cool. He's got a different kind of style to him which I thought fit quite well with this title. I don't know that I particularly like the way he portrays Batman, but . . he does a beautiful job with the women. And since that's what this book is about . . he's in the perfect spot. I think this is going to be a good title to follow.
