This title gets better and better every issue. This time we get a little bit of focus on each of the Sirens individually. First we see Selina interacting with Dick and Damian. There's almost a flirting thing going on there, but not really. And she really, really doesn't like Damian. Next we see Pamela somewhere in Central America. She's decided to take a vacation, and get back to her roots. As it were. She definitely feels more at home in the rain-forest, but as she notes . . she's a product of both worlds . . man and nature's. So when she goes to long without one or the other . . she tends to miss it. Which is how she's feeling in the jungle. But then, as a reminder . . she comes across some drug dealers whom are trying to hide under the tree cover, and some environmentalists that have accidentally walked into their camp and are taken hostage. Ivy barely lifts a finger to take them all out. The jungle literally turns on them. But she lets the environmentalists go free. It's a gesture of good-will. And finally . . Harley goes home to visit her family. Her mother doesn't really want anything to do with her, but . . she does miss her. Her 30 something brother, that still lives at home, is a no-account dead-beat. Although his kids love Harley. She sent him some money . . about $300,000 a few months ago. She wanted him to be able to get out on his own and maybe set up a college fund for the kids. But . . he's blown through it all. And her father? Her father is in prison. Repeat offender. It seems he likes to find rich women and scam them out of their money. Anyways, Harley tries to make the most of it, but . . she misses he girls. When she returns to the Gotham City Shelter, she finds that all the reconstruction has been completed. The place has been turned into a veritable mansion. Selina just wants everybody to feel comfortable. When she asks Harley how her visit home was . .'It was terrible. Horrible beyond all human comprehension. It just proved to me one thing. There's no place like home!' She's talking about the shelter. It was nice to see a little bit of the personal side of these characters . . some character development. They're all such strong women, it's almost a shame to leave any of their personal stories out of any issue. Paul Dini is doing a great job here. And this issue David Lopez steps in as the penciller. I really hope this book makes it because I enjoy seeing these characters every month.
