I did read at least some of his New Mutants, but I don't remember his take on those two. Actually, what got me thinking about them was their appearance in the Runaways graphic novel you loaned me. Which is a really fun book, and I thought they were used well in it, though it drove home for me how much I, as an adult who loves comic books, have somewhat different tastes than I did as a teen.

I haven't been keeping track of Birds of Prey, though I like the idea. This is the sort of thing where I hope some friend will do the collecting and then lend them to me...

(I finally read the Whedon run on X-Men, by the way, and if you haven't read it, I'll lend it to you!)
