After all these months, it’s finally time for our Headsocked Hero to go one-on-one with his arch-nemesis… Nicholas Scratch! It will surely be a battle for the ages… or, maybe a battle that barely lasts two pages?

Well, hopefully this is the final appearance of Nicholas Scratch in No Man’s Land. Can’t say I’m gonna miss him.
I’m a little put out by Leslie being so anti-violence. I don’t remember that being such an important part of her character. And in Azrael, at least, it appears to be her defining character trait.
Batgirl seemed almost over-competent. We’ve seen so little of her so we really don’t know much about her, but Denny writes her very much like a Mary Sue. I’m looking forward the the other Bat-Writers giving us their interpretations of this new Batgirl.
