Birds of Prey #104

Birds of Prey #104 hits hard with a dynamic Stéphane Roux cover that places a fierce, scale-armored warrior woman — weapon raised and cape streaming — directly above two fallen figures sprawled at her feet. The "Secret Six" logo stamped boldly across the bottom signals a collision between these two DC teams that writer Gail Simone and artist Nicola Scott are clearly relishing. Kicking off the "Whitewater" arc in May 2007, this issue promises the kind of sharp, character-driven action that made this run one of DC's most compelling team books of the era.
