Birds of Prey #22

/ / Comics

Birds of Prey #22 features the team in search of the missing Big Barda whose Mega-Rod they come across abandoned. Eventually the group does run into a possessed Barda while Oracle has her own problems which involve the destruction of the team’s headquarters.

Secret Six #4 picks up with our rag-tag group being taken down by Jeannette.

Feature heavy The Dark Knight Returns vibes, the opening issue of Whatever Happened to Crimson Justice introduces us to the world of a retired super-hero starting with a police commissioner and an unanswered Red Alert signal atop the police station used to once signal the city’s hero, Crimson Justice. The death of the commissioner, apparently by the hero’s archnemesis who also disappeared the same night decades ago, kicks off the issue in which his will reaches out from beyond the grave to contact the alter-ego of the former hero and make a plea for a city that still needs him.
