Birds of Prey: Endrun

The Birds of Prey return under the stellar guidance of Gail Simone with eye-popping art by Ed Benes!  The first 4-part story Endrun has just concluded, so snatch it up from comic book stands.  Two things I have enjoyed thus far: the additions of Hawk and Dove to the team and the introduction of the White Canary.  The White Canary's identity is a secret for much of the story, but what is very clear from the start is her ability to kick ass.  Black Canary has her hands full as she and Huntress engage this white-garbed assassin in a fight reminiscent of Darth Maul facing Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in Star Wars: Episode One.  With the Birds of Prey roster rounded out by Oracle and Lady Blackhawk, I expect this series to find its way onto our blog regularly!

Batman: Hush

When it comes to a rogues gallery no one touches the Dark Knight.  It's not even close, people!  The point is driven home in Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's collaboration "Hush".  Littered with Batman's villains from A-Z, you better believe this story also features a ridiculous number of femme fatales rearing their lovely heads.  I'm talking Catwoman, Huntress, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Talia al Ghul.  Oh, and there's a really brutal fight in Batman #616 between Catwoman and the DCU's numero uno martial artist Lady Shiva!  Guess who wins.  The story ran from Batman #608-619 and is collected in trade paperback.
