007 anyone?
What's Good?
I am so glad that Huntress and Question are teaming up again. The back-up in Detective Comics a while back was a great read. The duo share some of the same traits. Since Renee can't seem to get her own series, I wouldn't mind her being part of the Birds of Prey gang. Speaking of which, Gail Simone has rest of BoP gang working undercover. It's nice to see Hawk and Dove do something. I love Blackhawk thinking that Mr. Tripe is, "Fancy". I'm not that big on Secret Six knowledge, but I know for a fact that the character at the end of the issue is from the Secret Six series who made quite an impact. Considering that Simone is the writer for both this series and Secret Six, I'm somewhat surprised of who it is.
Once again, we have a new artist for a new story. I do wish that Birds of Prey get a artist that stays since apparently Ed Benes is gone, but Jesus Saiz's artwork is not bad. While there was hardly any action throughout, everyone is recognizable. I DON'T know why, but Huntress's mask just bothered me because the ears are not as long as usual.
What's Bad?
I have to wonder to myself why exactly are the birds dealing with Tripe in the first place? There's no real explanation for this and somehow, the investigation that Question and Huntress are conducting ties into what they are doing.
Overall: Can't say I'm too crazy for this story since the first part doesn't really answer a whole lot of questions, but maybe the second part can make up for it. If it wasn't for the reveal for the end, I would have probably give issue a lower score.
