Aquaman 5 :: Lost
Not much to report about this issue, since as expected, it was an Aquaman-centric story. Mera made a brief cameo in it as you may see above. One really cool thing, though, was the teaser for next month:

Birds of Prey 5 :: Chokepoint
If the purpose of the Birds' enemy is to confuse them, then he certainly achieved his goal, and in the process is dragging us along. "Chokepoint" by Duane Swierczynski turns everything upside down for readers and characters, throwing us all into new situations that seriously disrupt the flow of the story. I am sure there is a bigger picture to this, but the plot felt like a do-over of issue #4. An interesting moment between Canary and Katana makes Tatsu look a lot less creepy, and Poison Ivy seems to have never really left her villanous roots -pun intended.
The art by Saiz, Pina, and Chung is more refined and not as rough as in previous issues; their Batgirl, particularly is very well done. Speaking of Batgirl, the circumstances of her joining the team are still unclear, and there is a back-and-forth between her willing and not willing to be a part of it. This issue might look better as part of a whole, but it is hard to judge it as a single book; only when the arc is finished we'll know whether it was truly worth the reading or not.

Mera Meets The Manta Men
So now that Hostess has filed for Chapter 11 protection just two years after emerging from bankruptcy, it seems a good time to feature the final Hostess ad featuring Mera. In previous ads for Fruit Pies, Twinkies, and Cup Cakes she had played some minor roles, but this time, the entire ad is dedicated to Mera and Aqualad.

Rumor has it that Dinah Lance – a.k.a. Black Canary – killed a man with her sonic scream, and she’s been running from the law ever since. But it wasn’t a mere punch that shattered the victim’s skull. Now, something far more dangerous than the law is hell-bent on taking down Black Canary: a cunning enemy who knows her every weakness, both physical and psychological. The only things standing between Dinah and certain death are her friends and teammates: Batgirl, Katana and Starling. But will they still want to protect her after they learn the truth about what she was up to for the past three years?

Batwoman of Two Worlds
Inspired by the cover of Flash #123 (1961) "The Flash of Two Worlds", this nice pinup by Andy Price pairs up the original Batwoman Kathy Kane with the modern version of the character, Kate Kane. Just prior to the New 52 relaunch by DC, Kathy Kane had been reintroduced into continuity in the pages of Batman Inc. It is unknown whether she is still the original Batwoman in the DCnU.
