It has a real air of menace. The rain works really well in this issue and Copperhead is actually a little scary despite his costume. The cover was not a 'rip-off' but a homage to the above mentioned cover that was neglected to be mentioned in the letter pages until later issues. I think I agree about the whole Ren scenario though. If it was an event that happened prior to this issue it would have worked much better. I never really had much time for Aunt Ruth either. Hey I love this issue. It has a real air of menace.

Odds are he wanted to both toy with a victim now that the job was done, and cover up the fact that he's a hired killer who was stupid enough to commit murder in a lit room, right at the window, in the middle of the night.

(Finally...always seemed odd two bird-based heroes couldn't fly. Tho' I suppose the same could be said about Batman.) Is this true? Also, when her sister eventually shows up to serve as Hank's replacement, is Holly/Hawk also able to fly? (This is assuming that what I've come to understand about Dawn is correct.)
