THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS PRESSES THE ATTACK! Black Canary, Sin, and Megaera try to bond through violence as they find themselves overwhelmed by a splinter League of Assassins clan bent on reacquiring Sin. Maybe leaving Barda at home wasn't the best idea?

It's all nicely creepy, and Thompson has done an amazing job of blending the human side of this story with some of the wildest, most out-there storytelling at DC. Read Full Review
Kelly Thompson is at her best when writing short story arcs or one-shot style stories. Birds of Prey #19 exemplifies this as there is no wasted time in this conclusion to the two-part "Divide & Conquer arc. Read Full Review
Birds of Prey #19 is one of the better issues of this run. However, it still can't get above the "mediocre/ slightly above average hump. There's some great stuff with the Dinah/ Sin storyline while losing any momentum or sense of relevance with the Cassandra/ Barda/ Constantine plot. Thompson shows she CAN write good things in this series, but allows her predilection for magic/ supernatural and inability to handle her chosen cast detract from the elements of this series that are working.

This issue was a nice exception in that it was a fun and short addition to Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey series. I still am not that wowed by the art anymore and I haven't been for a long time. There are moments that wow me but all in all I'm just generally positive with nothing in me to really go out of my way to tell people to jump into this series. The writing is getting better and the art is kind of keeping it afloat so for the regular readers I can imagine things are going well!Score: 6 Read Full Review
