You know what? I hate time jumps. Unless we slowly get flashbacks over time, so the whole story is there - that's okay. I know that it was the 00's, and comics companies were bleeding money, but I'm still mad DC's event was 1 year later. Ah, well.
Despite that, I think it really worked here. I would have liked to have seen Kate step down from being a federal prosecutor - hopefully that's coming up in a future story. But it's all so natural. Todd and Damon, her ex's new wife and baby, Cam and Dylan.
This is just a flat-out good series, especially if you like superheroes that realize killing *is* an acceptable last resort.
Plus, there was some fabulous Wonder Woman goodness. There's a moment when Diana reveals her knowledge of Kate's alter ego, and Kate starts to square off because that's "what superheroes are supposed to do when they meet up," even though she knows she'd only last 6 seconds at best.
Wonder Woman? Laughs. I can dream about a similar scene being in Batman v. Superman.

I don't know if it's the Perry Mason fan in me or what, but the legal battles interspersed with superhero battles strikes a pleasant sort of balance. The Wonder Woman grand jury storyline was a good coda to the Maxwell Lord storyline.
