2.5 stars. Definitely there is potential with this past, but the story and art needs A LOT of work. Full review to come.

Oh Rebirth, you are so boring! Batgirl and the Birds of Prey (emphasis on Batgirl I guess because people like Babs and don’t give a fuuuuuck about Black Canary and Huntress – to be fair, I don’t either!) is another pile of wanky, tedious comic sludge. The Birds of Prey go looking for someone going by Babs’ old secret identity, Oracle, while fighting snake-themed baddies (cos birds and snakes are natural enemies, geddit?) and mafia goons. It’s so ordinary, uninteresting, and overall blah I was ne...

3.5 starsDespite some absolutely cold-blooded murders (both depicted and implied) this was otherwise an enjoyably breezy, sort of light-weight conspiracy / crime story. Sure, it's not perfect - there's a plot 'twist' that any reader over 13 years old will likely spot from miles away; the artwork varies in quality - but the spirited bantering and competence of the trio make up for the shortcomings.

A very fun read! I like the team dynamic a lot, and each character is distinct and easy to empathize with. I think Huntress may be my favorite, but I like Black Canary a lot. I hope I don't have to wait too long for Vol 2 to come out.

I am beginning to think that with the exception of Wonder Woman, DC Comics just does not know what they want to do with their female characters. Its disappointing when you consider the upward trek Batgirl was on and Black Canary as well. Though DC has never really seemed to know what to do with the Huntress.

"They say time heals all wounds. But time isn't a perfect nurse. It leaves behind scars."The first volume of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey within the Rebirth follows Batgirl, Black Canary and another person (I don't want to spoil anything) as they try to figure out who's hiding behind the name of Oracle, a former alias of Batgirl.This was thoroughly enjoyable. Like, really. I flew through this, and preferred it to a lot of the Rebirth comics I've read so far. The plot line was easy to follow, wh...

This felt more like Gail Simone's run on Birds of Prey. The story was ultimately nothing special, just a way for the team to get back together. Someone's using the Oracle to name to sell information to the highest bidder. So the team goes on the hunt for Faux-racle as Dinah keeps referring to them. Received an advance copy from DC and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I feel like Barbara Gordon is glaring at me from across the 11th dimension of imagination. That is because I hate EVERYTHING about this comic. It's also something that irritates me because I HATE being Comic Book Guy. I hate the guy who hates something he should ostensibly love but feels compelled to buy it anyway because it's something he used to like when it was different. Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, and the Birds of Prey are my jam but I hate present day Batgirl. It's a shame, too, because the p...

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!Very much like the previous arc of Birds of Prey comic book series, I absolutely loved this one. Not just because it’s a female-centered group of kickass women, but because they are some of the best comic book characters I have ever read and they compliment each other really well.Of all the DC women, Wonder Woman and Batwoman have always been my favorites, with Batgirl a bit further down the list. This first volume of the new Rebirth line, however, might have just changed...

Honestly I am sucker for some good ole' kickass heroines. I like it even better when those kickass heroines create a badass squad. I never had the pleasure of reading the older Birds of Prey comics, but this book makes me wish I did. The writing is pretty good, doesn't feel super stiff when characters talk and the story makes for a good team introduction. I am glad I gave this one a try and look forward to reading the next one. My hopes are that it will get even better!

[Read as single issues]Considering the state of the three main lynchpin characters of the Birds Of Prey coming out of the New 52 and into Rebirth, I was very surprised with how easily Black Canary, Batgirl, and the Huntress come together in this brand new Rebirth series.With the mystery of a new Oracle uniting the trio, they go on a fun-filled romp through the Gotham City underworld as they attempt to reconcile their differences, try not to kill everyone (Huntress, we're looking at you) and unra...

I didn’t like this at all. Granted, Gail Simone’s run on Birds of Prey defined my early comic book reading, but I won’t judge this series based on nostalgia, even though this story draws directly from said predecessors. Nope, Who is the Oracle? was pretty disappointing all on its own.“Who are the Birds of Prey” is a far more important question than “Who is [impersonating] the Oracle,” especially now that the Rebirth universe cherrypicks from both pre-Flashpoint and post-New 52 universes. The str...

Batgirl and the Birds of Prey is an on-going series published by DC Comics and is the Rebirth reboot of a team of women vigilantes with Barbara Gordon as Batgirl as the head of the group. Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Who Is Oracle? collects the first six issues of the 2016 on-going series and Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth special, which covers one story line: "Who is Oracle?" and the one-issue Rebirth story.The untitled Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth is a rather good introduct...

I'm being generous with a three star rating. The story is a bit of a snooze for the first few issues, and doesn't do a great job of putting Huntress on a team with Batgirl and Black Canary. It seems obvious, to me, that she's being brought in because she was an important member of the pre-Flashpoint Birds of Prey, but in universe she seems like a random addition. Fortunately, the book does improve as it goes. The dialog is a high point throughout, and the last few issues are actually quite good....

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. Story - - 5 stars. I really liked how the back stories played so heavily into the plot. I felt like I should have seen it coming, but it surprised me. Art - - 2 stars. The artwork was very weak. I don't care for the style used for most of the book. Sort of a mashup of western cartoon and Japanese anime. Not for me. Total - - 3.5 stars, rounded up. I'll keep reading this one for now.

Squad goals!Usually with a group of characters, there's someone I don't really like but I LOVE everyone in the Birds of Prey. Barbara is my fave but I really like how murdery Helena is. Plus, the story is exciting and original and never once lags, and the art is perfect. I loved this, start to finish. So, so happy this was good!!

I really enjoyed this, this series is pretty slept on. This is rebirth so DC was trying to blend the New 52 stuff with elements of all the stuff people loved about pre flashpoint. This series does a better job than most, it still uses the established stuff from the new 52 and finds a way to bring the birds back to their pre crisis versions. It’s not perfect but, it’s done as best as it can be. I also loved seeing Babs, Dinah, and Helena back together again I missed their friendship and dynamic s...

Choppy but well intentioned. World: The art is good, it’s one of the best parts about the series, the characters are full of personality and the color and the detail are just wonderful. The world building is also solid, bringing these pieces from the New52 together to form the Birds again was not an easy thing but the pieces do fit. The idea of creating piece of Gotham for them to play in is good. However there are a few pieces that are left on the floor from Burnside Batgirl which they should h...

I love this book! I really enjoy having kick-butt superheroes that have great character, a story that's action pace, and very well illustrated. This volume Oracle is back...except it's not Barbara. There is another Oracle that is taking the name and Bat girl recruits Black Canary to help her solve the case! They happen to run into Huntress who happens to be following the same trail they are and decide to team up. This volume in particular let's bat girl really gets to shine having to see who has...
