3.0
Close Before Striking-3 stars- At first I was super psyched to see Matches Malone, because I think he is hilariously over the top, but that part of the story started to feel more like a bad soap opera. Who on earth wanted a Matches Malone origin story anyways? Ventriloquist and Scarface were also involved, which was fun as they are really underused in general. The story arch is three issues, about 1 issue too long.
Mimsy Were the Borogoves-2 stars- A Mad Hatter story that is pretty forgettable. He is one of my least favorite villains so maybe I'm biased.
A Piece of You-4 stars- The best story in the bunch and Batman doesn't even make an appearance. This 2 issue story has Wonder Woman team up with Wonder Girl to take on Clayface. The story has an interesting concept and I love when heroes take on villains normally associated with other heroes. Plus the artwork is solid. It also does a great job of introducing the reader to Wonder Girl in a quick efficient manner.
Skullduggery-4 stars-Super short and wordy, but still fun. Again, this story has no Batman. Instead we are taken through the evil plans of some of Gotham's most notorious criminals...or are they?
