I stopped purchasing it the issue before last. I'd finally had enough of 'waiting for Mr O'Neil the acclaimed genius to tell the story HE wanted to tell, in the timeframe HE wanted'.
2+ years of lackluster retreads did me in. I could have (and did) overlook the generic Badger ripoff costume Az changed into if the stories had returned to the quality of the first year or so,or even the second.
Truth be told, I'm really tired of O'neils carte blanche in the bat universe when all he contributes to it is a watered down sidekick, and incosistent Batman, and redundant lameasses like Leslie's brother, the death dancer, and kalibax. I'd much rather just read Rucka's stuff, at least it isn't overly repetitive.
