The Secret Six cross paths with the Birds of Prey, just as Spy Smasher takes the dismantling of Oracle's operation into her own hands! ? 32 pg, FC Aaron Settle, Lone Star Regional Manager - "Birds of Prey 104 continues the ongoing storyline where Oracle has lost control of the team. As the new Spy Master takes over direction of the team, they find themselves on the trail of an old Soviet Rocket Red suit of armor. The problem is the owner of the armor has hired the Secret Six to protect the armor. Since the Secret Six is currently without a book of their own, it's cool to see them get some featured time in this book. This storyline will lead to the introduction of the newest member of the Six (after their last mini-series, the team is actually down to five members). There is also a great cliffhanger ending and the return of a beloved DC character in this issue. If you're a fan of the Secret Six or Birds of Prey this is a great book to pick up."
