OUTSIDERS
Hasn’t quite got the Authority

ISSUES 1-4 DC’s Outsiders is a superhero team with a long and storied history, and several distinct incarnations following the group’s founding by Batman. This latest comic, however – a 12-issue limited series – stands apart from all of those. It’s doing something quite different, but to explain how requires some big spoilers for the first issue.
Still with us? Good. Written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, and drawn by Robert Carey with Valentina Taddeo on colouring duties, the new Outsiders starts with Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, having departed Gotham in the wake of the latest falling out between Batman and Catwoman, and trying to find a fresh purpose. That comes in the form of an invitation from Luke Fox to join a squad he’s putting together.
