Bummed about this series ending, but I will enjoy it nonetheless.
You're really putting Harper through the ringer, it's hard to see a way out for her. Loved Nightwing, he's the best. Him and Damian make me miss the days where they teamed up in the comics, Grayson as Batman was awesome. I think at this point, I'm mostly just waiting for the Birds of Prey plot to connect with the Red Hoods plot more. It's obviously building to that and I expect explosions, violence, romance, angst, and comedy when it comes.

Harper's story, as I've developed this, has become probably the most interesting arc to develop. She's really getting messed up. I also miss Morrison's Batman and Robin run! Dick and Damian are my favorite Dynamic Duo. The Birds plot did sorta connect with the Hood plot this issue, but everything comes full circle in the next few issues. And yeah, expect all of that.

Another great effort, I mean it truly. God help whoever has to follow in this series' footsteps. It's no exaggeration when I say I put this up there with the animated series in terms of my favorite interpretations of the Bat Mythos. I really liked the way you managed to build in recaps, and supply the reader with just enough information to come into this issue and have a solid understanding of what's going on. Certainly enough to follow the issue, and I expect enough to entice those coming into this one as their first to go back and read from the beginning (and if that is the case, seriously, go back and start from the beginning. Absolutely worth it.)
As with every issue, there's a lot of moving parts and a lot of important bits in here. No one outshines anyone else, which is a compliment - every piece and every storyline feels equally engaging and important. It's really hard to pick favorites in terms of things that happened, but in particular, the sequences with Bruce, Dick and Damien, the kids in the hospital and the Birds in Shiva's tea room were particularly well done and my personal highlights.
This has a nice mix of character scenes and action. I'd echo the thoughts on Harper - I knew nothing of her before I started reading this, but I'm certainly interested in finding out more. She does seem to have a fascinating arc here, I imagine it'd be tough for even the canon interpretation to live up to it.
There was definitely a lot to process in this one, but it was a lot of fun. There still feels like so much to do, even as we're approaching the end of it, so I fully expect this series is going to go out with a bang. It doesn't seem or feel like the shortened run is compromising the story or the quality that's being brought to it, which is not surprising, but it is a relief. I definitely can't wait to see where it's all going. Keep up the great work.

If we can truly leave a lasting impact on you, then this story was more than worth it. The story only gets tighter-plotted and crazier from here.

I REALLY enjoyed this issue. Good action, no more Red Hoods (sorry, I hated them so damn much), and a good ole fashioned Bane Breaker. Good dialog here and really I can't say much else. I liked this issue. Probably my favorite issue out of your run. Plus you get bonus points because BATMAN IS ENTERING THE BATTLE!!! I would have loved to have seen Catman, Guardian, and Ambush Bug join in the battle but this is out of their league in all honesty. Keep it up!

Finally getting around to issue 4.
So we're going with the Talia raped Bruce origin for Damien? Any chance we'll see how that effects Bruce? The reveal that the reason Babs' was in a wheelchair is because The Joker went to her house rather than her dads is a good change. I'm not enitrely sure what it is but Deathstroke feels off to me.
