So I bought this issue, a little uncertain as to how I would take it. Happily, I loved it.
***SPOILER (ha) ALERT***
So, as it happens, I'm nowhere near as up to speed as I need to be when it comes to Stephanie's (Spoiler's) history. Last I read, War Games hadn't ended up to well for her, then recently she reappeared.
Now, usually this would be a problem. And this time, I'll admit, I (mistakenly) was expecting it to be a big problem.
Thankfully however, Chuck Dixon has done such a bang up job of scripting this issue, it wasn't an issue at all. Stephanie's history is just a side note threaded in between two wonderfully action packed stories.
As you might expect, the book is spilt down the middle, offering up a choice cut of Robin and Spoiler rescuing a kidnapped girl, and a prime rib tale of Stephanie's time in Africa, which gives fans a little more to add onto her character.
Raphael Alberquerque and Victor Ibanez both back Dixon's script up with some truly top notch artwork, making you wonder what they could do on other DC books, such as Batman or Titans.
Pete's Score: 4 out of 5
(seriously enjoyable reading - recommended for all)
