Outsiders Vol 02: Sum of All Evil

I enjoyed this book even more than "Outsiders: Looking for Trouble (Vol. 1)." This is "edgier," and it's loaded with thrills and humor. It's definitely not for young kids, it's at least a PG-13 book. Judd Winick's writing continues to surprise me. I keep thinking he's going to run out of gas, but no, he keeps the reader hooked with great storytelling. He isn't afraid to take chances with these beloved DC characters, he doesn't handle them with kid gloves like other writers have. The Metamorpho storyline is intriguing, the return of Black Lightning has a great nostalgia factor, and the presence of Huntress is always a plus. My one complaint is that Winick's depiction of Nightwing is pretty flat, he could be a great leading character, but he just isn't. The supporting characters save the day here. "Outsiders: Sum of all Evil (Vol. 2)" is a great read for any comic fan over the age of 13. Be sure to check out Vol. 1 first!
