Wow. Sleeping with all of two people in several years (one of whom was actually her husband for a time) makes someone a "whore" now? Sure, she had no hangups about nudity, and was open about her sexuality (IE lacked any of the pathetic prudishness that many Americans evidence where sex is concerned), but that's not "whorish." Across 20+ years of comic existence she only had verified sex with: 1. Nightwing/Dick Grayson and 2. Some Tamaranean dude she was briefly married to. Sure, she wore skimpy/skintight outfits and was drawn as "sexy"....just like virtually every other comic book superheroine in existence.

This "reimagining" of Starfire is full-blown character assassination, and sexist pandering of the worst sort imaginable ("Hey! Hot alien who'll f*** anybody!"). Inarguably one of the worst changes of the "new" DC, and a truly pathetic way to discard the baggage of the Nightwing/Starfire relationship (Is it really so hard to say "we're adults and have moved on" and mean it?)

Sorry LXL_Guy, aside from the outward appearance, Starfire is not appearing in this book. At least Roy seems to be in much better shape than he was prior to the reboot. Though it comes at the cost of a huge chunk of what made the character interesting and fun (he's never been a single father in the "Nu-DC.")
