SS 1# The Deepest Poison by Beth Cato

This is a prequel short story that can be read before or after The Clockwork Dagger.  The story introduces the main character from the first book as a healer with great talents and her teacher that constantly fights with herself over the envy of Octavia’s gift and her disbelief over the younger healer’s faith in the Lady. The story is good and tight and you are not scratching your head wondering what you are missing.

#38 Grayson, Vol. 1: Agents of Spyral by Tim Seeley , Mikel Janin

Review being held pending release date per publisher's request.

Edit to add review as of 6/9/2015

This collection is a New 52 graphic novel about Dick Grayson and what he is doing after faking his death.  He is recruited for Spyral to work as a spy but he also has an agenda to find out what Spyral knows about superheroes. Dick works at being the good spy while feeding intelligence back to Batman and trying to do the spy thing while using his ethics doesn’t always work.  The story didn’t work for me as much as I wanted it to. I don’t think I’ll bother reading any more of these when they come out.
