Patience may be a virtue, but can Batgirl stand still long enough to stop a super-speedster foe? “The Lesson” continues as the mysterious Order of the Scythe unleashes its first weapon in their war on Batgirl – Slipstream!
both good stories, not great but not bad either.
Will this Slipstream guy have any connection to the speedforce?…
Only time will tell 😛
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but the “New 52” should have heralded a change for the Kid Flash costume. His entire torso should NOT be yellow; maybe only his shoulders. Honestly. He looks like a Satyr minus the hooves.
