It's an Honor Guard spotlight with guest artist Jesus Merino: Blessed from birth by powerful forces, Hummingbird's young life has practically been a fairy tale. But charmed lives come with hidden curses - and her curse may just prove fatal. Luckily, she's not fighting it alone. Guest-starring Cleopatra, Starwoman, Mermaid, Greymalkin and the other women of Honor Guard.

BONUS REVIEW by John "Doc" Schaefer


Even after 25 issues, Kurt Busiek is still showing us why his writing skills are aces. The story of the heroine known as Hummingbird has it's origins in classic comic history. The highlight of the story here is Busiek's stunning ability to capsulate a flashback that makes you feel like you've been reading the comic for years. Reading this issue reminded me of reading comics back in the 1960's.

I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams
