Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heh. The 'toon Teen Titans is having WAY too much fun with Robin. They just slid in a reference to Jason Todd.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
ita, wasn't Volume 2 of NML the one where you were complaining about the art? Cause I can see why. The art in the first storyline is just awful, way too cartoony and retro for the tone (plus the writer had sucky cliffhangers), and the next storyline's art is messy and dark, with the wide shots never as distinct as the close-ups. Maleev's art in "No Law and a New Order" worked rather well, and seeing Teran's style made me appreciate it much more. The last half has better art, I think; it's interesting to see all these varying styles.
I'm interested in seeing what the overarching storyline ends up being. This looks different from War Games, which has one storyline being handled by multiple writers. Here, multiple writers get their own little arcs. It kind of distills the sense of urgency when things keep coming to a close. But it's still a fascinating look at Gotham in a dire situation, and it's more compelling intellectually than War Games.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. that was the one, P-C. Just nasty, and jerks me right out of the text.
I really liked NML -- I'm not used to the DCverse doing things that drastic to folk that aren't superheroes. Gotham is real in some part of my head. Immersive and horrible.

Once I got over the "who is this BATGIRL???" issue, yeah, it was all love. Well, and the book 2 art.

"who is this BATGIRL???"
That was kind of part of my enjoyment of NML, actually.
