Hm. More good than not, but it probably could have used a bit of help. This collection starts with Kid Devil's origin story, which was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Eddie's voice is memorable, and I ended up feeling bad for the poor dumb kid. The lasat issue here ties in with [b:Countdown to Final Crisis|2217622|Countdown to Final Crisis, Vol. 1|Paul Dini|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348759615s/2217622.jpg|2223412], so unless you've read it it'll seem to come out of nowhere and have no real payoff. But the bulk of the collection is (another) confrontation with Deathstroke. He can be a very, very effective villain, when used right. And here... Well, it actually worked, mostly. The anti-Titans he assembles don't feel as threatening as we're evidently supposed to find them, but he himself is as sinister and complicated as I could ask for. Johns gets bonus points for resolving the weird and silly "let's make Batgirl evil!" storyline that came out of nowhere.
