    I don't know that I've ever seen a series so determined to experiment and reinvent itself every issue, and that continues to make this one of my favorite current DC titles. Read Full Review

    While it is certainly time for this story arc to end when we get chapters like Birds of Prey #12 the fun had supersedes the feeling of how long this arc is. Read Full Review

    I found this issue to be a little bit rocky, although Kelly Thompson is still a great writer, it was a little jarring the way certain things were rushed to a conclusion. It just seemed a little lacking to me, after everything the ladies had been through. Read Full Review

    Birds Of Prey #12 is a silly yet serviceable issue that sends the BoP into Cartoon Land(???). Kelly Thompson's setup makes little sense, and this issue lacks dramatic tension or urgency, but this issue may have the clearest and most purposeful plot yet. Plus, kudos to the art team for making the most out of a bizarre assignment. Read Full Review

    This story arc has been disastrous and Birds of Prey #12 does nothing to change the course. If anything, Thompson shows that she doesn't really know these characters, especially Barbara, and she doesn't have anything significant to say. Her take on Birds of Prey has been a bust since the first issue as the core concept of Birds of Prey has escaped her. Birds of Prey is something Barbara Gordon does, it's not simply a team of women heroes. There's a Venn diagram somewhere showing where these ideas cross over, but Thompson is not inside it.
