Well, we're getting near the end of this series and we finally find out who it is that Cain and Slade are after . . . Oracle and her Birds of Prey. We just don't know why yet. This is a pretty intense group of dysfunctional girls we have here. Marque is after Cain . . her 'father', and the man who's taught her all of this hate and anger. Ravager is after her own father, Slade. We pretty much know her reasons. Hell, she'll tell anyone who asks . . and has many times. And then there's Cassandra . . Batgirl. She has a pretty stable and secure familial structure now . . you know, with the whole Bat-family and everything. But, she still feels it necessary to make her 'father', Cain, pay for what he's done to her. Plus, she's also trying to help, or stop, him from doing the same thing to other girls, which, as it appears, he's up to now. She doesn't necessarily like Slade any more than she does Cain, but she just sees him as a means to an end . . Cain. Now that she's found out who the guys targets are . . next issue she's off to Platinum Flats. I think Adam Beechen is doing a pretty decent job with this story. He's doing a good job of portraying Cassandra's feelings and inner conflicts. The other 2 girls are pretty one-dimensional, I think, but . . everybody's got to have some back-up. Right? I also enjoy J Calafiore's art. I know. He's not everybody's cup of tea. But, personally, I think he draws some great action sequences. Personally, I just hope that this series can segue into another run of her own. Maybe?
