The Deal: It’s the latest issue of the Outsiders. Fresh off their battle with Vandal Savage and other villains, the team embarks on a new mission to hunt down a pack of escaped inmates from Arkham Asylum.

The Verdict: OK, this book has officially lost focus … again. After writer Peter Tomasi went through all the trouble of setting up a new status quo, mission statement and headquarters for the new team, he throws all that out the window to go in a whole new direction. What is this — Teen Titans? After all the shakeups in this book — since even Judd Winick was handling writing chores — what this comic needed most was stability. No all that seems gone. At this point, I can’t see this comic surviving. And that’s sad — because I’m a fan.
