How come Nightwing's the only one that has an actual bird on his suit yet his codename isn't even a specific bird?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

You'd think they'd be bugs, so they'd at least be the same kind of thing as bats.

Because Robin is almost as old a character as Batman, and there aren't any creatures that "are kinda like a bat, but have a different name" whereas there's a poo poo ton of small birds with different names.

Edit: Though given its other definition, "Lark" seriously makes him sound like a temporary character.

Liu and Remender had done a bit to show her starting to adjust to being a more normal, socialised person, and Bendis went full-bore with it, so Taylor followed suit.

Plus the matter-of-fact "Yes. It was cold." seems very Laura Kinney to me.

On a different topic, I assume I'm the only one who read the Pink Power Ranger mini this week, otherwise I'd be seeing more about the redesigned costume?

Actually no, the current Wolverine book is very good about that. The naked jetpacking is all off-panel and exists mostly for that punchline.

Though basically all the scenes featuring the jetpack are pretty great, especially the Wolverine/Captain Marvel/Iron Man banter.

OK, context: The current Wolverine arc revolved around a Big Mysterious Chest Of Stuff. SHIELD thought it was some kind of magical doodad/weapon, but all the agents they sent to check it out, including Old Man Logan disappeared. Turns out the chest was full of goop that is a pheremone that attracts space dragons, hence Fin Fang Foom comes and eats whoever opens the chest. The thing spills when Foom attacks the helicarrier, and Wolverine has to cover herself in the stuff and lead him away from the crashed carrier, and then strips, presumably lets him eat her costume or whatever, and borrows some of Captain Marvel's clothes to wear home.

Aha. She had to "give her clothes to FFF", so I assumed it was so that they could be worn. Thanks for the explanation. :tipshat:
