If you've missed out on this Birds of Prey run so far, DC's new jumping-on point is a great opportunity to fix that. Read Full Review
This is a fairly light issue until the last few pages, when we discover just how evil this corporation is, and how far Cass might have to go to stop them. Nothing big has changed in this new era for this title, but when it's this good, why should it have to? Read Full Review
Birds of Prey's All-In kickoff was the addition of a one-page primer to explain the characters and how they've banded together. Otherwise, this is issue lived up exactly to the All-In premise of being a great place to start with a fun DC title. Read Full Review
The Birds of Prey kick off their latest chapter with a strong lead-in. Thompson builds the drama with fantastic writing. Basri, Lucas and Cowles balances the undercover work with solid imagery. The last page will have readers locked in for another excellent ride! Read Full Review
Whether it was intended or not Birds of Prey #14 sells the idea that now is the time for Cassandra Cain to get a new ongoing Batgirl series. Read Full Review
A call for help from the Queen of the Amazons leads the Birds of Prey into new territory, bringing in two neglected members of the DCU and putting Cass Cain undercover, which makes for some epic moments. Read Full Review
While Birds of Prey #14 does show signs of improvement from previous issues, it also continues to expose Thompson's weakness as a writer in the DC Universe. She just doesn't know the characters well enough and can't distinguish the good from the bad in terms of previous stories. Her characterization remains surface level at best. It's a mediocre start for the first issue under the "All In banner. If this is the best Thompson's got, it's not a lot to get excited about. Read Full Review
Please put this title out of it's misery.
Why has no one explained to her barda isn’t a god damn cave woman. All her characters are surface level or just wrong. This isn’t issue 3. It’s not ok at this point.
