After the convoluted journey that was "Icarus," I have to say that I enjoyed the straight-forward plot that Percy introduces in this issue. The Bat-titles lately seem to have reduced Batman to a role as a passive observer; in "Icarus," he didn't really do much more than watch as the action unfolded around him. However, Percy puts him in his comfortable role as the Detective, trying to figure out a way to save everyone (including himself) affected by an eco-terrorist's biological attack at an airport. I have no idea how Percy is going to wrap up this story in just one more issue, but hopefully it's as a solid as this issue.
*** (three of five stars)
