review 1: So uh Choke? Are we just forgetting about that then?We start out with an unnecessary story from Bat-girl. It doesn't bring the book down because it's Gail Simone. It really just doesn't need to be here. I get that we're going to get Trix later on in this collection but that doesn't mean I need to see her origin really.Katana has her sword stolen for some reason. This takes us to Japan for some reason. There's lots of fighting. This story is SUPER deep you guys. I know this sounds like I'm putting it down, and I kind of am, but here's the kicker: I enjoyed the hell out of this book. So it isn't the next piece of literature? I don't care it was a fun read.Starling tortures a guy at one point in one of the best scenes from this series so far. Condor joins as a team member (ma... moreybe... He may just be helping out).
review 2: This book confused me - it opens with the Birds of PRey annual, which I think was presented somewhere else too, so at first I thought I'd already read the whole book. But then it got to the main story, which was new to me. The book focuses on introducing a couple new characters, while retiring an older one. The dialog and story isn't as strong as the book was at Simone's height, but Swierczynski does write these characters pretty well, and got a couple of chuckles out of me. The main plot, about recovering Katana's blade, never felt very impactful, considering there's a city-destroying threat counting down through the whole story. But the battle sequences are pretty good, and the quips and dialog are better than the average New 52 title. A good but not great addition. less
