I finished this last night but was too tired to write the review then. (Sorry.) I actually had an issue with my copy of the file that I received (via NetGalley) which left me with a chunk missing from the start. Obviously, this was quite annoying and prevented me from being able to really enjoy the full story. I liked it nonetheless, and will still be reviewing what I was able to read. I'm not going to tell you the whole plot and spoil it for anyone, but the basic gist of this is Batman and his recruits putting up a fight against "The Colony". There's action and shock and relationships - everything you could want in a volume of comics. The ending was just... damn. Tim?!?!?!?! I loved the ending. And hated it. I'm going to give 4 stars to this edition of comics, mostly because I can't give any higher without having read the start. The ending is definitely what got me.

Not fun like Aaron’s Avengers, but lightyears better than the last couple years with King.
