Birds of Prey #106 - DC

Wow! Look at those 2 babes on the cover. It's big babe vs. big babe. And you can't see it, with the picture I have here, but Barda is busting out of her costume. Meowww! And Knockout is no slouch either. Anyways, this issue is all out action between our group or misfit girls, and the original misfit group . . . the Secret 6. The Birds consist of Huntress, Barda, Manhunter, the SpySmasher, Hawkgirl and their newest member . . Misfit. Oh, and of course, Creote. Who is really more of a body-guard for them. They're fight to save the life of Ice. They thought they were coming to Russia to keep some kind of cold-war technology out of the wrong peoples hands. But, what they found was Ice, being kept alive in a retrofitted Rocket Red suit. You know Ice, Guy Gardner's girlfriend from the Justice League. Yes! The one who died. You know how that works in the DC universe. So they're fighting and Creote has been given the task of getting Ice out of the way of collateral damage. In doing so he brings her out of her unconscious state. Now she's mad. And she wants to know who killed her. To which the Ragdoll says to ManHunter, "Oh, fine! Now we're all going to die for a murder none of us committed. I hope you're happy!" So with this new threat, plus the Russian general who started this whole mess wanting all evidence to be erased . . . . including the Secret 6, I have a feeling our 2 teams are going to have to work together next issue to get out of this whole mess. The good news is that I really like what Gail Simone and Nicola Scott have been doing with this series. The bad news is, I think this is their last story-arc. I think then we're getting a new creative team. In a way I guess it's ok. It's about time for the Birds to get some new life breathed in to them. Not that there's anything wrong with them now. But they are another team that's constantly in flux. People come, and people go. Alliances change. But Oracle and Huntress will always be here. I hope. I hope things don't change that much. We'll find out soon enough.
