All I have to say is great issue once again! Also I think I'm starting to develop girl crushes on Katana and Starling. :3

Oh gee. Judging by the page, could the missing bird in question actually be a certain Batgirl? Now I know why she didn't appear on the cover of #5.

Also, light-bending invisible men going boom wipes out memories also? This Choke guy gets more and more interesting as the issues come along. Really loving the new Birds!

Hey now, one of those ex-birds kept his Robin name. He just added a colour to it. :D

I think I remember seeing you make that comment on a Jubilee post. Unfortunately since I don't know jack about the character or anything Marvel for that matter, I couldn't really comment, lol.

Are we talking the 90s X-Men cartoon? Cause if so....man that takes me way back. At best I remember having a girl crush on Rogue, though I'm not sure if I envy her power of being able to kill people with a mere touch. I can't imagine a life without snogging and sex. :(

Hey now, you're not the only one who *aged* himself, although I think we both fall under the younger reader demographic. Another childhood favourite was Scarlet Witch. She was just bad ass.

Are we talking a butt shot of a recent issue of Teen Titans? I remember the one time I had a butt shot for an icon and ex friend of my berated the hell out of me for it and even made me a new icon to replace it with. :P

Of course. He did use it recently on a Christmas post I made. Though I do have to agree with Spurs Sander's comment about Helena Wayne being a darn sight easier on the eyes than the kid in the shorts. Not that Dick Grayson is bad looking mind you. But Helena Wayne is more...my kind of ass to tap. ^_^

Eh, mid-20s here. In about five years tops all the young kids on the block will be calling me ancient, though I'll still be 20 at heart. :D

really? It doesn't feel actiony to me. It feels like a giant mindgame to me and I wouldn't be surprised to see the climax end up with some sort of "what was real" thing

Well, I don't think a book needs to be violent for it to be actiony, but that's just my opinion. This book has been anything but slow paced for me.

I don't particularly care about the level of violence. It just doesn't feel "real" to me. I basically wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the violence turned out to be staged or lies or illusions basically. To use wrestled parlance I feel like it's setting readers up to be swerved

Might I ask to people who are truly reading the book, what's Starling's 'thing'? I see her in most pages, doing something or other in a weird 'badass' pretend way, but she doesn't seem to have any defining characteristics whatsoever and seems to me much like a RIC, hardly defined yet extremely competent.

Actually... She kind of reminds me of Face from the A-Team. A competent, smooth-talker. She has the personality of someone who could talk her way out of anything and I get the feeling that she would be incredibly good at poker. That's basically how her personality/character strikes me as, anyways.

So is Dinah. So is Katana. The whole point of the team they've put together (unless Barbara is going to be a permanent addition) is 'people who've fallen onto the wrong side of the law, somehow'.

Starling, I love your hair. Also, this is no longer subtext, Starling and Dinah are full on textual. Ev even uses pet nicknames for Dinah.

This book continues to be awesome. And the art continues to be incredible. I love their costumes and the artist consistently draws fantastic women and great facial expressions! I loved Starling's face right before she knocked out the second walking bomb guy, and when Babs showed up.

Katana is holding her sword wrong for a kenjutsu practicioner. There should be space between the hands, placing the lower one at the bottom of the hilt.
