The main story works well, but the flashbacks to earlier adventures of Helena and Karen are only slightly tied to the new tale and don't add anything of significance other than to take up several pages which could be used for the main story. And once again it takes several artists to take over half the artist duties from the missing Kevin Maguire. The result of which are better than last month but still more mixed than I'd like.
Things do pick up in the end with the arrival of Power Girl and the reveal of who the thieves are actually working for. Although the prospect of Mr. Terrific showing up doesn't do much to excite me, it is a nice twist and it looks like the comic is finally ready to deal with Karen Starr's relationship to the hero whose pretty much disappeared from the New 52 since his book was cancelled. For fans.
