While the art and story for #2 remain pretty solid for the most part, I can't help but wonder how this will all end and whether or not the ending will be able to deliver a satisfactory conclusion. It is probably unfair to draw comparisons with Superman: Space Age, but the book does force them with the shared similarities between the two series. However, we do seem to be past the setup stage and I do want to keep reading to know what happens next.

Like most anthologies, this issue is a mixed bag. There was some truly great stuff, some mildly amusing stuff, and some stuff that can be classified as filler at best. I do wonder what it says that the stories that stood out the most were the Bat stories, but I hope we see more stories like the ones we goteven the Sgt. Rock one. These characters are a part of the tapestry that makes up DC's rich history and deserve to be remembered.

It's difficult to shake off the feeling that I'm reading two stories awkwardly stapled together. While the story of the Hill is genuinely interesting, with some decent dialogue and art, Red Hood has yet to acclimate to his new surroundings and ends up sticking out like a sore thumb. Considering that a certain character – who is arguably more popular than Jason – makes an appearance on the last page, I don't think he's even doing enough to sell this series at this point.
