Raven comes across a sinister program to breed powered individuals that, inevitably, turns out to have something to do with her dad. There's rather a lot of fighting and Trigon shouting at people and looking dramatic and, fortunately, some rather good sections about her trying to live a normal life with her aunt and uncle. It's a decent enough story, with some good guest characters, and the art certainly works well, but it doesn't head in any new directions and the bits about Night Force are more confusing than anything else (possibly requiring a knowledge of backstory that I happen to have missed). Still, it's self-contained in this volume, albeit clearly setting things up for the second half, and if you're going to do a story about Trigon this is as good a way to do it as any, but he's just frankly not all that interesting as a villain (not to mention being a pervy creep, which tends to get glossed over).
