Glad I glanced on here before I started scanning! You beat me to it! Mind if I yoink these scans for my wiki?
I very much enjoyed Steph's snark in this story, especially the "ego much?" AND her telling Tim he doesn't own her. Damn staight. However, I would have liked it better if she'd apologized for lying to him, adding "But hey, you lied to and manipulated me too, so I guess we're even!"
And where did she still the invisible tech from? Did she just steal it from Nocturna, is that the implication? I don't get it. And I like Steph as a plain old badass normal without any powers. But that's just me. Also, I guess Nicieza was just messing with me in that interview I gave him, when he said he didn't know anything about the invisible stuff.
I don't get the point of the whole arc honestly. Like I complained before "Someone tells Steph to quit, she considers it, then doesn't" is a tired old retread. If Nicieza absolutely felt he had to give Steph a screw up so she could have a second chance, she already WAS on her second chance. Tim could have easily raised these doubts about whether she's cut out for stuff upon her return without them going through the whole "Steph screws up in a rather stupid manner and Tim is RAR alphamale". So basically, Nicieza just made Steph screw up AGAIN so he could make Tim lecture her on how she's not cut out for this!!111 and Steph could ignore him. It was POINTLESS.
But, at least it's over now and Steph's moving on to do...something, who knows. It was a nice little coda never the less.
And it was hilarious how Tim sulked in every single story he appeared in. Seriously, with Leslie it was all *sulk*. With Vicki *sulk*. With Steph *sulk*. Meanwhile Dick was as cheerful as hell.
