The Outsiders - One hear later {Review}

The Outsiders is DC's 'other' superhero team. With issue 34 everything has changed due to the ongoing 'Crisis' storyline.

The current Infinite crisis is still ongoing. DC has pushed ahead with its books starting up one year after the crisis is over. The entire team has changed and is looking more like the original intent of the group is being realized.

They were a group of Heroes who were going to pre-emptivly stop the bad guys instead of being reactive like the JLA and Titans are. Undercover and covert operations. In the latest issue they are focusing on a small African nations problem of Peti'lions (French slang for small lions) or a group of armed trained young boys who are terrorizing villages.

The first issue of this arc sets up the intrigue but it is decidedly political and interference over super powered threats. I am curious to see how it pans out.

The leader is Nightwing (Dick Grayson) who left the Outsiders the the issues prior to this one due to a personal conflict. Thunder and Grace are back, Thunder can increase her density Grace is big and strong and nigh invulnerable. Katana is a throwback to the original outsiders from 1983. Same as Metamorpho, who has taken over for his er.. Brother\duplicate Switch. The odd twist is the New Capt. Boomerang. A former Villain who's father was a foe of the flash. How he gets into the group is the focus of a lot of attention.

All in all the first issue would get a C for the story premise A for the artwork and a B overall. I am not sure about this book but I am willing to give it a chance.
