As I picked it up, I couldn’t help thinking: Oh god, it’s a DC book. It’s bound to be some sort of hideous multi-part crossover mess. But then I stopped, and I reminded myself not to be so cynical. After all, it isn’t labelled as a crossover. And even DC couldn’t be so stupid as to launch a new series in mid-storyline.
So, after buying it and opening it up, what do I find on page 2?
“The Fickle Hand, part two.” Part two! Two! In issue #1!
And do you want to know the best bit? It doesn’t even tell you where part one appeared. I had to Google it. Part one was in Titans East Special #1, which came out last November. You couldn’t make it up. Shower of bloody amateurs.
