When a new hospital collapses into a sinkhole in the middle of Gotham City, Harley Quinn tries to convince Huntress and Black Canary to investigate. But can the Birds of Prey really trust the Clown Princess of Crime? Or do Harley’s true allegiances lie elsewhere?
Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 leans heavily on great characterizations for a story that knows how to have a good time, but lacks the impact necessary to elevate the series beyond casual fun. Read Full Review
I'm definitely curious to see where this particular title goes and what stories from the DC Giants get put in it, though I hope it's not just a Harley-fest. There are plenty of characters to work with and variations on the team as well that I hope it gets some good material. This opening isn't a bad one even if the story itself just didn't click. For now, it's the characters that make it worth it and just to have some fun in having Simone scripting for them again. Inaki Miranda puts in a strong work here overall as I love his take on the characters and costuming and a chance to play with a simpler Poison Ivy here. I'd love to see him do a miniseries in the same kind of style and quality of Ragman for Poison Ivy or Huntress. Read Full Review
While the comic may not feature my favorite versions of these characters (also a few of the brand's staple characters are MIA), and I'm not quite sold on artist Inaki Miranda's depiction of Harley, the characters' interactions make this one a fun read fans should enjoy. Read Full Review
Gail Simone and Inaki Miranda start their Birds of Prey book with a simple story that is more about getting the team together than anything else. I like the team, and the way Simone has them interact and Miranda's art is outstanding. I do expect more from a Gail Simone Birds of Prey book, and expect it to only get better from here on out.

Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 was a solid start to this new Digital-First series by DC Comics. Gail Simone immediately showed how well she understands Black Canary, Harley Quinn, and Huntress through her writing of each character. The one-shot style helped create a foundation for this series that can hopefully future issues can build on. Read Full Review
The characterization is solid, but the story ends up feeling pretty pointless and the art was a bit amateur.
