Bruised and battered, with one teammate lost to the enemy and another now miss-ing, the Birds split up and disappear into the darkness of Gotham at Black Canary’scommand. The Shadow Army has struck at the very heart of the Birds of Prey andnow has all the pieces to create its game-changing weapon.
Once again...its impressive stuff. Thompson has put together a Birds of Prey team that really doesnt seem like it should work at all on the page. Theres just enough between the members of the team to make it all work and bring it all together in a remarkably satisfying package that continues to feel remarkably well-executed on a whole bunch of different levels.

This might be the best run on this title that wasn't penned by Gail Simone, thanks to its excellent use of the team dynamic, especially between the founders. Read Full Review
With Birds of Prey #23, Thompson has put together two pretty darn good issues in a row. That last page doesn't make me think the finale will be anything other than a contrived ending with plot armor as thick as Barda's thighs. She's getting more of the details right even if some of the bigger picture is troubling or just downright out of place. The biggest issue is her inability to write three dimensional characters, they still too often feel forced and uncharacteristically imbalanced. But, this issue is one of the most enjoyable of the series. Read Full Review
While the Thompson's dialogue is strong in this aspect of the issue there is a feeling this was a filler issue. There was just a lack of urgency to things that led to the final page lacking the powerful punch it was aiming to have. Read Full Review
