If there isn't a REALLY good reason for the gender change, then it was just stupid. Starbuck was changed to give a new take on the Zak death. Here all Dial Tone is doing is serving as a sounding board. It sucks.

The big problem I got with issue one is there's no real Cobra, some lame disappearing act by some Cobra agent, and most of the comic is just Scarlett talking.

Meh.
