I'm sure I've said this before. Scott Lobdell is far from my favorite writer. I enjoyed him back in the 90s, but his recent output has left me really cold. Except this series. The first volume was highly recommended to me, so I read it and I actually liked it a lot. The same with the second volume. Though I liked the first one better, this one is nothing to sneeze about. Scott has a cast of characters that doesn't seem like would work together, but it surprisingly does.
This volume is mostly about Artemis' back story. I wish they held off just a little longer telling it until they get Wonder Woman's current back story all straightened out because Artemis' story hinges somewhat on Wonder Woman's. But they didn't wait.
I hate that we have to get a new back story for Artemis. She was a character I didn't much care for when she first appeared, but I grew to love over time. We're starting at square one with her again. I hope they don't fuck this up.
