Comic Book Week: May 11th, 2011





Kara`s comic this week is the amazing brilliant fabulous "Hostile Takeover Part 1 of 2-A Thin Edge Directly To The Brain"! The ladies of the birds thrill me once a month & this month is no different!

Ms. Simone (♥!) always tells a funny heart felt story & the latest tale is just 1 more in the same vein, as computer guru Babs / Oracle leads Dinah / Black Canary, Helena / Huntress, Zinda / Lady Black Hawk, Dawn / Dove, new member.........maybe?..........Rene / Question, & odd mallard...........*giggle!*..........Hank / Hawk on an old fashioned spy mission to infiltrate a sneakie bad guys high rise lair. There are some bad cops & some bad gals & some flirtie dealings & it all ends up with the return of the best DC villain after Harley Quinn & Joker & Lex Luthor..........& yes I put Harley 1st intentionally! ;b

Saiz & Ruffino.........& Mangual...........are a fabulous art team...........with nice dark muted work that bursts out for the action scenes. Although it was a little bit stiff this ish that only made sense for the subtle spy work going on for much of the story.

The strength of the birds is in the characters & the ladies are all women whom I would like to be friends with..........Zinda especially is quickly becoming my fav! & I did say ladies because I am just not luving Hank / Hawk..........I want to but I miss Creote & Savante as the other gender`s representation. :`(

1 last note...........look at the cover! ♥ it! Look at the looks on Zinda & Dinah`s faces! X)

So the rating in honor of my new favorite character.............

RATING: 9 Zindas out of 10!

& as a special bonus to explain the 1 out of 10 rating here is my least fav comic this week..........it is not a whole review but................
