When the solicitations for "Outsiders: Five of a Kind" first popped up with Artie Joe in it, I thought it didn't make a lot of sense for him to be on the Outsiders -- how can you be undercover while underwater? But after this last issue, where he says he can stay out of the water for a few hours, maybe he can pull it off.
I read "Outsiders" normally and am looking forward to the upcoming shake-up and relaunch regardless of AJ's involvement. But if he is involved that will be an extra treat.
