I'm not too clued up with this issue but read another issue which seems to form as a precursor helps to jump right in (would say it's required reading for this issue) which helps to introduce the HIVE organisation. This is actually the finale issue of The Judas Contract but the story itself is very easy to pick up even with my first introduction into the character of Terra, which - ohmigosh - is a character that is B-E-A-U-tifully written.
The character of Slade Wilson gets that side hustle with his back story explored how he became the "Terminator". Despite being the mega supervillain, it does add so much depth to the character on how they became to be and why they do what they do. There's some nobility in their action despite not being of the best of interest of the good. It fits in nicely with the main story as the issue reaches its climax.
Terra like... OHMIGOSH! She just owns this issue. I find her so disturbing in so many ways especially it's been revealed in the issue she is just 16 years old. They're in a relationship with a mature gentleman Slade (if I do say so myself) and doesn't shy away from being uh... sexually intimate with the said gentleman. Gosh, this character is really unhinged with a strong appetite for killing, lacks empathy and can mask her true intentions with fake emotions. What's not to love about them. Coming up to the climax, I'll describe them as pure evil with utmost beauty in the way its described (ironically) in the way that Terra's powers can benefit the world so great but instead it's used to bring forth destruction. She has absolutely no credence for good.
I love the minute storytelling elements like Nightwing's uneasiness of Joseph who actually turns out to be - spoiler alert - Slade's son who we previously thought to be dead.
