Birds Of Prey (2011) #34

Aug 16, 2014

VerdictI hated this issue and it killed my interested in the series. Well, I guess it's a relief that I don't feel the need to hunt up any back issues to see what I missed.Buy this comic if you like dependent women, cliche super hero-first-fight-then-team-up storytelling, or hastily wrapped up endings.

Red Hood And The Outlaws #34

Aug 21, 2014

Despite what I said in my review for Lobdell's return issue about now wanting to see this comic have a plot, Lobdell is doing enough actually good work with Starfire and her storyline here that I'm actually enjoying it. The issue ends in an interesting place with Red Hood and Arsenal potentially wanted for murder and Starfire feeling betrayed by the closest thing she has to a family and having taken some sort of drastic but as of yet unclear step, and I'm eager to see what's going to happen next to this group that is surprisingly becoming my favorite DC characters.
