SPOILER ALERT! Well, perhaps this isn't really necessary since the cover of the actual comic shows that Indigo, the android is a baddie after all. The Outsiders must feel really silly now, after forgiving her for attacking their friends and killing Lilith and Donna Troy. This issue is part of a cross-over with the Teen Titans that also involves the corruption of Superboy and the machinations of hidden villains. Winick shows his strengths here: cutting, abrasive dialogue and highly destructive fight scenes as the heroes argue among themselves and each take their shot against Indigo. The art is action-packed but also looks smudgey and scratchy. Maybe the art team thought this give the story more of an atmosphere of danger. Partly, it does work but it also makes it hard to tell where the characters are in relation to each other or their surroundings. It also makes the Titans and the Outsiders look like slobs who don't bathe too often. That may be true for Roy and Grace but I expected better from Dick.
