Birds Of Prey #57

[Dick Grayson]

Written by Gail Simone; art and cover by Ed Benes and Alex Lei

The new creative team of Gail Simone, Ed Benes and Alex Lei puts the Birds through their paces! Black Canary, seriously injured in last issue's ambush, is used as leverage in a contest of wills between Oracle and the brilliant extortionist, Savant. Backed into a corner and faced with the demand to turn over her secret files on everyone — including Bruce Wayne — Babs reluctantly calls for help from a person she trusts only slightly more than Savant himself: the Huntress!

Oh I am sooo getting that one! Sounds really good!

Benes ranks #3 on my list right there with Greg Land and Jim Lee.

Wow HB .. you have some taste .. though Jim Lee's art is too assembly line for me, I think he was bitten by the Image Bug (you must draw like Todd McFarlen and Rob Liefeld in order to get anywhere in this business bug)

the best guys in the business today IMO

George Perez
Phil Jimenez
Jim Lee
John Byrne .. though I wish he would let someone else ink his stuff and not draw with a rapidograph.
Ed Benes
Greg Land

And of course the GRAND MASTER of them ALL .. non other than ... MR. Alex Ross !!!

And just about every artist that Crossgen has managed to steel away from everyone .. now there is a stable of talent !!
