only negative part is that it's a little haphazard but i think that's partly because i know less about new 52 crap than anything pre-flashpoint and this kind of starts with a bang and no time to get used to the status quo. otherwise, there's an insane mystery with an equally insane bat ally teamup (most of them at least. i wish steph was here more. ok that's the second negative part) and each issue after the last raises the stakes. i prefer the pre-flashpoint backstory that cass had but damn if this one isn't compelling. mother is a terrifyingly great villain. good comic so far excited to finish it in the next volume
