‘Nuther thing: judging by Ragdoll’s inquiry of the nature of Oracle’s voice, yout hink Harley quit because she didn’t want to get entangled with the Daughter of the Woman who got shot by her boyfriend?

There is an interesting thread at comicbloc.com, in the Gail Simone sub-forum. They’re discussing the spread and the supposed sappiness of the issue, amongst other things.

I couldn’t put a name on Militia (the masked man) and Honey (the blonde). They worked for Oracle in an old issue, when Dixon was on the book. And it seems you’re right about Rose (Rhosyn Forrest). I thought I had never heard of her, but she battled the 1000 in the Booster Gold miniseries errr� 20 years ago. She was creative director at Goldstar, Inc. As of late, she is employed at Dinah Lance’s flower shop. Awesome! :-D

I also can’t identify the masked guy (though I wonder if he’s not the Guy Gardner clone?) or the blonde in silver, but the redhead is Rose Forrest, from the recent “Rose and Thorn” limited series.

That’s a nice spread but for the life of me I can’t recognize these guys: the masked man (at the right of Nightwing), the blonde with a white costume and the redhead (that’s not Grace Choi, nor Cyclone?) next to Judomaster and Misfit?

I loved the issue, it certainly was the best way to end a major run and arc. Kudos to Simone 5 Stars for sure.

You say tomato, I say “well-done story with great dialogue, wonderful character work capping off an excellent run.” The Spoilers scale is, like every single other tool of rating and/or critique, inherently subjective in nature.

I honestly don’t see how the former Batgirl pummeling a woman bloody is either sappy or corny…

5 stars? That was the sappiest, corniest comic in the last 20 years…
