Birds of Prey #114

The cover of *Birds of Prey* #114 sets a tense, atmospheric mood as a metallic-armored figure holds a red-haired woman in an unsettling near-embrace, their faces close while looming behind them — in shades of cool blue — are the massive heads of a hawk and a great white shark, exactly as the tagline "Hawk vs. Shark!" promises. Stéphane Roux's cover art balances danger and intimacy with real elegance, the warm copper tones of the foreground figures playing sharply against that threatening background. Writer Sean McKeever, artist Nicola Scott, and inker Doug Hazlewood bring this March 2008 chapter of DC's team book to life with the kind of charged energy that makes "Shark Attack!" a compelling read.
