This has been a very decent anthology book thus far.

The comic book really does have some good creative teams doing some really incredible work.

The book starts off with writer Chip Zdarky’s continuing story with artists Eddy Barrows and Diogenes Neves.

In that story, we finally get a chance to meet the villainous Cheer. We get to see what this villain is up to with the teardrops that they use to manipulate people. We also get to see Batman and Nightwing really got after Cheer and try to take them down once and for all.

The next story is about the Batgirls Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown.

They break into Wayne Manor so they can play some video games. They are then contracts by the Oracle for some business. This story is by Marguerite Bennett and is drawn by Sweeney Boo and it is just entertaining enough.

Writer Meghan Fitzmartin and artist Belén Ortega are up next for the next chapter of their Tim Drake story. It is pretty good actually and it shows Tim trying to track down his best friend Bernard. Can he do it? And what does the Chaos Monster have to do with it all?

Finally, writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Ryan Benjamin are up next for the final chapter of their Grifter story. It is an explosive final chapter too and I just love how they ended it.

It is a good issue overall, and all the stories worked in some capacity.

RATING: A
