The covert first mission of the re-formed Birds of Prey has established their beachhead...in Themyscira! What could be so important to Black Canary that she'd risk the wrath of the greatest warriors on Earth?!
Birds of Prey is further cementing itself as one of DC's best comics in recent memory. Read Full Review

Readers who have been following the series are certainly going to enjoy issue 3 and for those who havent checked out the series yetwhat are you waiting for?! Read Full Review
Romero delivers beautiful art in the issue. The visual style has a fantastic classic look to it while also presenting amazing action and character designs. The Diana versus Oliver battle was visually exciting from start to finish. Read Full Review
There is nothing I would rather do with my day, than spend it reading Birds Of Prey, as Kelly Thompson's blowing me out of the water with this plot. I would really like to talk about it with someone, and freak out. So, do me (and yourselves) a favor read this series! Read Full Review
Birds of Prey #3 builds on what the two previous issues built to create the best comic book reading experience possible. By doing so Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero are quickly establishing Birds of Prey as one of DC Comics best comic books. If they keep up this momentum that "best comic book title won't be something they are contenders for but champions of. Read Full Review
Birds of Prey #3 feels like a classic adventure comic that is more than worthy of your hard-earned dollars, and this series has consistently been on point, so you would be well served in buying it month-to-month. Read Full Review
The impossible mission gets more complicated with another strong issue by Thompson, Romero and the team. Solid writing combined with energetic art brings the explosiveness of events to a breaking point within these pages! Make sure you pick this up on New Comic Book Day! Read Full Review
One very talky Bird is crowding out the others in this ensemble comic, but it's still a very fun read. Read Full Review
The chemistry of the cobbled together team continues to work with the group now in action, even if this issue doesn't give Cassandra Cain much of anything to do. I'm loving the art of Leonardo Romero here as the Birds make their way through the island, even if the issue is only to set up the much more difficult confrontation in the next issue between Wonder Woman and the Birds of Prey.

Another incredibly solid issue from Kelly Thompson and the Birds of Prey creative team. We're really getting down to business now with the conflict on Themyscira in full swing. Not only does this issue feature some great action but it sets up a huge conflict for issue #4. Read Full Review
Another great issue and suddenly I get this new feeling I haven't had in a while with DC. What is it? Not exactly trust though I do trust this particular team to bring about a great story. Maybe a smidgeon of hope but this comic isn't going to change the entire comic industry nor was that ever promised in the first place. Ah! I know. It's relief. The realization that comics can be fun and well thought out and have characters with motivation and mystery and all the good things that make us want to dive into these crazy worlds in the first place. The soft aesthetic and jokey tone provide that relief with a badass flock of fearless birds I'm ready to follow as I support their rights and their wrongs!Score: 7.5/10 Read Full Review
Interesting concept but I feel the execution is just very weak here. There is so much good character opportunities missed in just putting together a heist story for a group of the most skilled female combatants in the DC universe. I do not want to read about them sneaking around, I want to see their skill in battle. Read Full Review
Birds Of Prey # is an absurd comic. The flaws in the central premise grow wider with each page turn, the character work is just plain bad, and Romero's art is dull. Read Full Review
Birds of Prey #3 is not a good Birds of Prey comic, however, it is a pretty good Harley Quinn comic. If you're here for Harley and how great she is then you will flip that score around, probably. If you're a fan of the Birds of Prey, this isn't it. Read Full Review
Kinetic and a great deal of fun.
My favorite issue yet. Thompson and Romero are putting together a pretty fun and engaging story with this series so far. Surprisingly enough, some of this issue's strongest moments deal with Harley. I like how Thompson is building the relationship with her and Dinah and I'm looking forward to seeing how they develops. Plus, Romero does some really good stuff with his art. It's very unqiue and I think it fits well with the story. I'm definitely interested to see the team face Wonder Woman in the next issue and I hope the quality of this series continues to go up like it did here, for me.

Review at (6:33) in link.
The banter is fun and the artwork is dynamic, but the story itself is pretty haphazard. It' feels like many elements are rushed to get to a confrontation, and focues more on action, which ends up feeling empty, that plot or even characters.
The confrontation with Diana, for example, feels like a set of random elements poorly stitched together, from the main characters poorly thought plan to distract her, to the fact the fight seems like a collection of "what-exactly-am-I-looking-at" panels (a page ends with her turned into butterflies? Maybe? And then she's immediately okay and on the Island? What's happening here?)
In short, cool style, not much substance.
As I mentioned in my review of the debut issue, this series continues to have a Harley Quinn problem. She sucks up so much oxygen throughout every issue that it’s difficult to look past her constant presence and enjoy anything else about this book. Without Harley, this could be an habitual 10/10 series because everything else about it has been amazing — the side characters (including any Bird of Prey not named Harley Quinn), the writing, the art. But nothing else gets a chance to shine because every single conversation comes back to Harley. If she is the one to somehow defeat/reason with Wonder Woman to save the team, I may not be able to continue with this series.
Not sure what you guys are reading, because my rating is a whole lot lower than what I'm seeing from the rest of the reviews. The art and the coloring are horrible. Zealot makes a pact with the island where no one can be killed and she tries it out by stabbing Harley? What is even going on? Wonder Woman turns into butterflies and teleports to Paradise Island? This entire idea of the Amazons holding this gril against her will is ahorrible concept.
Unless somethng major happens next issue, I'm out.
