And we come to the finale of "Who Is Artemis?" If you were looking for action, this issue is pure fighting. The art is incredible, the writing is...low-key. I found the best part of the writing is each member of the Dark Trinity becoming closer to each other. In the New 52 arc of this series, Jason Todd is exceptionally close to both Roy and Starfire, he once expressed that he didn't think there was a difference between romantic love and friendship love. Right now, it's still hard for me to imagine the situation to be applied to Artemis and Bizzaro. I want to see it grow further. The connections were lacking, but the art and the friendship, in the end, made up for it.

If you're looking for some eye-catching action, this is a strong issue. The fighting stances are amazing. The way Artemis used the bow, how she pulled out the jackhammer and Jason's use of the blades is beautiful. Bizzaro throws in a few hits and receives a few hits as well. I generally love Dexter's body stances, even in silly moments:

The art is exceptional, 10/10 on that. The colors as well shape this broken, sandy village they're in. Veronica Gandini colors guide you onto what to focus on. As soon as the dust settles, Gandini uses bright colors to express joy and peace of the villagers, and hopefully Artemis. I love the artistic team on this story arc!

Akila is not the same woman that Artemis knew and loved. Once Artemis finally achieves her bow, Akila disappears. I enjoy soft and tender moments in writing. However, I feel a bit lost on how the bond between Artemis and Jason became so tight at the end. I suppose she's thankful, but from her going from this tough hero and telling Jason to bugger off, and then to say "I have you...and Bizzaro," felt disconnected. The connection feels slightly forced, but I can't blame that. Their universe had a reboot. So, I'll keep up the hope and enjoy these characters for who they
