Batgirl and The Birds of Prey#17 was an enjoyable, thrilling, heartwarming and fitting finale to the “Manslaughter”. Major props to the writing duo for managing to balance so many characters in one issue yet still have a great pacing. Despite some artistic mishaps, Roge Antonio's artwork will always be synonymous to the series. Read Full Review
My only regret is missing the first chapter, which I am guessing would have madethe entire story arc a solid read. I know I took issue with the middle chapter, but that was mostly because the whole radical feminist angle came to light. I dont resent feminism, I just find a radical version of anything to be too muchof a clich these days. I simply filtered it out of my reading experience, andenjoyed a tale of super-heroes vs. extremists. Male, female, black or white, Itried to remain color blind. Read Full Review

Batgirl and The Birds of Prey #17 delivers a good conclusion to a one-off story arc that allows one of the most iconic female teams to partner up with some of the other big female names of the DC Universe. Read Full Review
I've said it before and I'll say it again " Yanick Paquette needs to be drawing this book instead of just doing the covers. Read Full Review
Manslaughter comes to a conclusion this issue, but it doesn't quite hit the mark since the majority of the issue is just people standing around and discussing what's going down until they all just come together at the end to finish things off as quickly as possible. The art is really good, but all in all the story was really lackluster and this series just continues to be sub par. Read Full Review

Batgirl & the Birds of Prey is like a broken record: month after month of poor plots, bad dialogue, and illogical reasoning. If you're still reading this book hoping that it will get better" Please stop. There will be no change until a new creative team takes over. When will that happen? Not soon enough. At this point, I honestly don't know what's worse. Anne Nocenti's Catwoman, or the Benson's Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. And just to make sure I'm clear, prior to this book, I'd considered Nocenti's Catwoman to be the worst comic run I'd ever read. Read Full Review
