Colleen Wing and Misty Knight are getting their own series! I don't quite know whether to squeal with glee or hide under the bed. I think perhaps I will adopt a stance of wary optimism.
*takes second look at that cover*
Except for Misty's hair. Misty's hair is just unadulterated fear. But aside from that.

Misty looks straight out of Foxy Brown, 1970's chickpower.
And the irony being that she was a lot more sedate in the 70s, in just plain black and a much less scary Afro.
And the perp has...uh...a sexual bondage device in his mouth. At least, that's the only RL place I've seen them used.
*peers* Oooh, good call. Wonder which of the girls just happened to be carrying that around?
This cover could, without doubt, be heralding a trainwreck. But I love them so much, and I'm so pleased to see them on their own, that I choose to be optimistic.
Wonder if they're going to keep the agency name?

I guess DC threatened to sue if it was gonna be Nightwing Restorations. ;D

Well, Daughters of the Dragon is a cool-sounding name. (And also one that doesn't really relate to who Misty and Colleen are, truthfully; on the offchance that anyone who doesn't already know them picks up the book, I expect them to be wondering what dragons have to do with anything.)
I guess DC threatened to sue if it was gonna be Nightwing Restorations. ;D
Yeeeeah, I don't think we're going to see that in the title anytime soon. *g*
