Reception

Alex Simmons finds a new song with "The Siren of Hampton Reef." Simmons provides a trio of suspects, all fetchingly illustrated by Mike DeCarlo. The Heroic Age colors facilitate DeCarlo's aim to make two of the gals particularly memorable, and little character tweaks, such as an arched eyebrow, enliven an already interesting story.
