Birds of Prey #6

Birds of Prey #6 promises an intriguing look behind the curtain with a cover subtitled "Exposing the Lair of Birds of Prey" — and it delivers on that tease. The cover by Greg Land and Brian Stelfreeze places a tense, bespectacled woman clutching a handgun amid a bank of surveillance monitors showing armored figures and a masked female hero, with the looming face of a giant clock filling the warm amber background. Writer Chuck Dixon and artist Greg Land bring their collaborative energy to "Time's Rainbow," a 1999 entry that makes the team's world feel both expansive and surprisingly personal.
