Barbara's had problems before, but now she has an old college acquaintance, Katarina, who now goes by Spy Smasher. For some reason she really has a hard on for Barbara and her organization. But Babs is also being pursued by someone just as threatening, Lois Lane. They have a heated discussion over dinner, Lois is on a fishing trip, that leads to Babs pulling out the secret identity card. She has a picture of Lois & Clark that would be very compromising to his identity, if it were to get out. But, before she can do that, Lois cuts her short. Basically she tells her that she doesn't really want to hurt her, but someone, high up in the govt., called her frantically feeding her unsubstantiated information. Like Lois says, "I have to choose sides every day.", so basically this was a fishing trip, but not for info on Babs, but actually so she could decide which side to choose. It appears that she has chosen the birds. As she leaves the dinner, she tells Babs, " . . . someone powerful seems to rather dislike you . . .". So I think basically, she was trying to warn her. We also get to see the rest of the girls in action, Manhunter, Gypsy, Barda, Huntress, Judo Master, Lady Blackhawk and Misfit. Is misfit really going to be part of the team? We'll just have to wait and see. Fantastic story by Gail Simone, of course. And I'm really diggin' Nicola Scott's pencils. Hopefully they'll hang on to this one for awhile. This is still one of my favorite books.
