If you're going to go out, go out on top. Not only does the team go down with this attitude this issue, but the series writer Gail Simone does too. This has been a spectacular series, one of the most consistent titles on the racks, and it is a crime that it isn't being renewed once the DCNu hits in December. I'm not going to follow the team into the new Suicide Squad, but I will keep an eye out for Bane. I'd bet he has some big stuff ahead of him.
Bane had rallied the team into one big push to take out Batman once and for all, but due to some poor personnel choices, the team never really gets the chance. Instead, we get an awesome display of guest stars as a TON of big guns arrive to take out the team that everyone underestimates. Simone does a great job just piling on the heroic reinforcement. Even if you thought the Six could defeat that first bunch, no way could they handle the rest.
Jim Calafiore does a great job not only delivering the goods with the heroic pinups, he also has some great action. It was a lot of fun perusing the pages and seeing who takes out who when the fists start flying.
I'll miss this series.
Good
