I really like this book. Although, I have to admit I'm not thrilled about these Tom Mandrake covers. Yeah the guys got talent, but . . I don't know, his stuff just doesn't thrill me. Anyways, the Outsiders seem to be bounty-hunters now. While the rest of the Bat-family are working on the various things that are affecting all of thier livers, the Outsiders have kind of been left to their own devices. Alfred still checks in on them now and again, and trys to offer a little guidance or focus. But, the only real mission they have right now is to try to round up the Arkham inmates that have been set free and scattered. However, through the course of this, they've discovered another purpose. It seems that the Black Mask set these villains free under the pretense that they would be working for him . . you know, to pay him back. But a lot of them didn't agree with that set-up, so . . they ran. But before that happened, the Black Mask stuck little bombs in them for the future anticipation that they would eventually turn on him. So now, not only do the Outsiders have to round these guys up, but . . they also have to try to stop their heads from exploding off of their shoulders. So far they've gathered up Mister Freeze and Clayface. Now they're in the Bayou trying to apprehend Killer Croc. Unfortunately, for some reason, Man-Bat is down there also. Killer Croc is bad enough, but with Man-Bat mixed in it almost looks like it's more than they can handle. Luckily they don't have to for long. Eventually Man-Bat takes off, when he realizes that this fight isn't his. Shortly after Halo takes Croc out. They all return back to base, but their problems are hardly over. They've still got other villains to go after, and . . on the final page Brion's sister Tara shows up. But isn't she dead? Exactly! It's the Blackest Night version. It looks like the Outsiders are now part of the Blackest Night saga. I think Peter J Tomasi is doing a great job with this book. I'm diggin' his stories. And, Fernando Pasarin is doing a fantastic job with the art. The only complaint I had was his interpretation of the Creeper. It just . . didn't look right. But, other than that . . the rest of the issue looked fantastic. This is one of my favorite teams, and really . . they're only just getting started.
