loved It .
Everything .
At first I judged it , because of their outfits , but its actually good has some self reflection .
It was funny , had stakes , the friendships and characterisations were great just like the conflicts , so 10/10 .

i got whiplash from the really good writing (by a woman) paired with the hyper sexualised illustrations (by a man). but it was good and black canary is always my number one woman

3.5, really? Perfectly good jumping on point for the whole Birds of Prey idea. Might be some of Simone's strongest writing. Its un-convoluted, clear, and pretty linear, with strong art. Ed Benes is one of those artists, I recognise, but its not until I see his work, I forget how terrific he is.
This is back when DC was still working under the continuity of The Killing Joke, by Alan Moore. But you needn't read that to enjoy this. (The Killing Joke is well worth reading, and if you haven't you should.)

Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. Birds of Prey, under the hands of Gail Simone, was a gorgeous thing and It made me super happy to have all my amazing women back together doing amazing things!

The story was okay but I just hated the art. It was so painfully early 2000s with all of the women having over the hourglass shapes and perfectly spherical boobs. There‰ЫЄs stylization and then there‰ЫЄs just ridiculous.

Seems most teams work best in threes, no? Black Canary provides much of the humour and action, while Oracle wows us all with her amazing resourcefulness. Huntress also makes a welcome appearance.
Gail Simone's fantastic writing (with just the right balance of feminist sensibilities) matched with Ed Benes boisterous, lively art makes this a very enjoyable read for both the ladies and the lads.
This trade paperback covers issues #56-59 of Birds of Prey.

With the Birds of Prey movie out next year, I cannot help but think that the look of that movie is so very different from the Birds of Prey graphic novels I have enjoyed. This was the first of them I picked up and it feels nostalgic. It seemed so cool to have a all female crime fighting team.
