    This is, undeniably, one of DC's best series today, if not the very best. Read Full Review

    This series keeps giving me things I didn't know I wanted. All the different looks for the team and the bonding sessions add so much more to the storylines. There's nothing these ladies can't make work, and that's evident in Birds Of Prey #10. Read Full Review

    Rodriguez and Guiday deliver some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I really enjoyed how the visual styles complemented each other and how those styles created wonderful visual moment for the characters. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Jaymee Remolde Jun 5, 2024

    This issue is an uptick in this series. We are getting better development of the individual members of the team, and the stakes are also getting higher. Instead of just a rescue mission, this story has the capability of becoming a time-adventure with the theme of death and revenge at the forefront. Read Full Review

    Kelly Thompsons bringing a sense of zaniness to the Birds of Prey, making this one of Mr. Toads wild ride. Unfortunately the off the wall hijinks dont always land as Kellyd like them to. Hopefully shell get to her sweet spot as her time on the title marches on. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Lia Williamson Jun 4, 2024

    One thing this book has done really well is how skillful it is with its artist changes to show a point of view/mood change. This time, during the issue set in Barda's mind, Robbie Rodriguez and Gavin Guiday take over the art. Their style works perfectly for this setting and in the larger setting of artists for thisBirdsrun. Each artist shift is incredibly unique and leaves their own mark on the story, but none are so jarring in their differences that it makes it an unpleasant shift that doesn't match the vibe. The artwork in this issue is once again the star, while the writing struggles to find its footing and settle on the plot. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jun 6, 2024

    Its one of those necessary evil chapters where this story arc needed these details to be laid out. But that does not excuse how by the end of Birds of Prey #10 we don't progress further than when this issue started. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jun 6, 2024

    Birds Of Prey #10 is the can't-miss issue that explains everything about the mysterious time traveler trying to kill Barbara Gordon. Unfortunately, the answers don't come remotely close to anything you might have guessed. The answers are so overthought, overcomplicated, and unnecessarily overblown that you'll wonder how Thompson had enough hours in the day to go out of her way at every opportunity to make a simple concept unbearably not simple. Plus, the art team's style is unique... until it's too muddled to understand what you're seeing. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Jun 4, 2024

    Birds of Prey #10, outside of Cela's information dump is just so much nonsense. Barely more happens than last issue, but what does is meaningless. The very thin plot doesn't serve the characters that well, and the characters themselves feel secondary, which is again the opposite of the Birds of Prey concept. The plot itself has a lot of contrivance and the REASON Cela's sister is after Barbara couldn't be a more overused idea and underwhelming idea. Read Full Review

    SPOILED REVIEW.

    The Birds, having just departed through the portal from the giant bat dream world, arrive in a new world. Or is it? They have new outfits. Or do they? Mari doesn’t like her 1950s-era styling, that’s for sure. All the ladies are accounted for, except for one: Barbara. Cass asks, “Did we leave her there?” Dinha answers, “I don’t know, Cass.” Vexed Vixen still can’t feel the Red.

    Suddenly, Barda exclaims, “?!”, after being squicked by an ebony bolt of goop. Knocked down with a huff, Barda gets back up again. She’s fine. Dinah asks, “What was that?” A mysterious woman responds, “It was a bit of Maia.” Cela is her name, along with her pet Poe, who appears to be a ‘wolf’. Cel more

    Slow moving plot. Literally the only movement comes from pink hair girl's exposition. We learn what the monster thing is, it's origin, annnd it's (apparent) motive for coming after Barbara.
    Needless to say, that is way too much to reveal in chit-chat from some random OC.

    Sans Cela's convenient narrative, the plot has no meaningful movement

    The story is mildly interesting, but the art just makes me want to vomit. This faux dot printer look is just revolting. Even without that effect it would still be subpar, if not nauseating. I've hated the art this whole series minus the one issue that didn't look like it was printed on a bubblegum wrapper, but the story for the most part has kept me reading. The first arc was especially good, but I'm still along for the ride for now. Dunno how much more of this art I can tolerate though.
