Last issue the Birds went to Russia to retrieve some tech that they were told that this Russian general had. This is also the first mission orchestrated by Spy-Smasher, who is assuming command of the Birds. It's a long story, but it has to do with her and Oracle. Anyways, they come face to face with the Secret Six, or 5 as of now, and find out that the tech was actually Tora, from Max Lord's JLA reign. Wasn't she dead? And really . . . for a long time? Well somehow this general got hold of her body and has been using a Rocket Red suit as a life support system. She's not really conscious, but she does have a pulse. Well, the Birds have 2 aces up their sleeves on this mission, Hawkgirl and ManHunter. But even that may not be enough with everything that they're facing. The Secret Six get back up to full compensation this issue also, with the addition of Harley Quinn. The general is sending his people to retrieve Tora, in the remote farming village where our Birds are hiding her, but the Secret Six get there first. And on the final page they're threatening to twist off Hawkgirls head if they don't turn over Tora to them. Everybody's going to be Kung-Fu fighting next issue. Fantastic issue by Gail Simone and Nicola Scott. Nicola recently came on board as the penciller, and she is very quickly coming up to speed as an up and coming superstar. She's really getting a good feel for these characters and this book. Next issue I think our Birds and the Six are going to have to team up to have any hopes of getting out of this country alive. And I'm sure we'll have another shake-up in our team when all is said and done. I just want to know how bad girls can look so good?
