Back on the job at Spyral, Dick is tasked with taking down some assets of the God Garden. But he’s pursuing a more personal mission, finding the woman designated Agent Zero, and taking her down. To do that, he’ll use any connections he has!

This is very much your typical sort of spy story, agents and agencies using each other for their own ends. Motivational threads intertwined between people, places and even politics - and Dick is squarely in the middle of it all! He’s still using his Bat-connections for information, using Midnighter to help set up the God Garden, and using Spyral as the vehicle to get him where he needs to be. Dick actually has the makings of a great super-villain!

Even in a fairly complicated story, character still shines through. The scene with Red Robin is very nicely done and we get to see some nice “brotherly” moments between the two.

Also of note, I think this is the first DC Universe appearance of Ladytron from Jim Lee’s original Wildstorm stable of characters. While i’m not very familiar with her, she seems like an interesting character and I’d like to see more.

Fun series, that keeps it clever and interesting.
