I enjoyed the special.  

I didn’t enjoy the first issue that much.  The Outsiders of the past (Aparo art) were comic book fun facing silly villians.  These same characters are now going to be DC comics black-ops.  (In the Marvel and DC universes, there seem to be many super-powered black op teams all of a sudden.)  They have to leave their families and fight a menace that was controlling the same Aparo silly villians (wow….continguity?).

I don’t completely buy Black Lightning in this situation.  I know that he’s gone undercover before, but after being part of the Justice League and Resist…it didn’t quite right (even after being shown that it was a difficult decision).

On the positive side, I love Metamorpho when done correctly and his scene in the car was probably the highlight of this issue.
