Birds of Prey #107 - DC


Like I predicted last issue, our 2 teams had to come together this issue to fight a mutual threat. But it wasn't Ice as I had predicted. Actually, it was the Russian General. He's trying to salvage something out of his operation, and, according to him, for the good of his country. So he orders the Rocket Red's to attack the 2 teams, and when he has a chance, he confronts Ice. Huntress has already calmed her down by asking her, "Do you think Guy Gardner would want to see you like this?" Shorty after, the General tries to reason with her as a goddess of their country. But then Deadshot shoots him in the head. "What it was self-defense. The guy obviously had a gun . . . . . . . ok . . . so it was murder. Who cares?" It looks like nobodies the worse for wear, until Zindy comes to pick them up, and she gets chastised by SpySmasher. She punches her in the mouth, and then quits the team. So everyone, including ice, is on the way back to America. Oracle tells Huntress that when they get back, she wants to talk to Katrina alone. She's tired of being under her thumb. And, one way or another, it's time for them to settle accounts. This is another book, that it looks like they're getting ready for a creative change. It looks like Tony Bedard is going to be taking over this one after next issue. But it looks like Nicola Scott will be staying on the pencils. At least for a few more issues. That's to bad too. Because Gail Simone has done a hell of a job with this book. She'll definitely be missed.
