    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Nov 7, 2023

    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

    Dark Knight News - Fay Clark Nov 9, 2023

    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

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Nov 8, 2023

    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

    Nerd Initiative - Ken M. Nov 7, 2023

    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

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Nov 12, 2023

    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.

    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg Nov 7, 2023

    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

    Batman-News - Jeremy Bernard Nov 8, 2023

    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

    The Comic Book Spot - Jamie Remolde Nov 7, 2023

    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

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Nov 8, 2023

    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

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Nov 7, 2023

    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
