Talk about a witty comic. Second rebirth comic that I have read, and it is a whole lot better than batgirl. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Not quite as good as the Rebirth issue, but I still love the dynamic between Batgirl/Canary/Huntress. Definitely gonna stick with it for a while.
OK So here's the Thing - this is a fairly decent issue with enough action and mystery to keep you happy and the whole secret Oracle-imposter is also a genuinely nice plot but The art is really letting the issue down. The art is really awkward to say the least with facial expressions of the characters really not making any sense with the surrounding , even the general sketch of all the characters whether they are standing , fighting or sitting on a table looks off . The colouring is actually good...
I really hate the art, which is a shame because I like the story.
Pretty good story, however art work is meh at best.
Leading somewhere but nothing grand at this stage. I've found a new found love for Batgirl but this series hasn't a tone like the others. I like the team and hopefully this develops quickly.
Really disappointed by this series thus far. Also, not terribly happy with the art.http://pop-break.com/2016/08/17/revie...
The story was decent, but I had a really hard time getting into this new buck-toothed Batgirl. This art was just so unappealing to me that it kinda ruined the issue. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to like it. And maybe it's unfair of me to judge it that way, but I can't help the way I felt while I was reading it.Ugh...*shudder*I don't even understand why I had such a bad reaction to the art because I've certainly seen worse, but there's something about it that sets my teeth on edge. A...
Okay... Maybe I could give this series another chance. Issue #1 is actually decent with Black Canary and Batgirl more in character than the Rebirth issue. Huntress is exactly the hellcat I expect her to be!
This issue brought me in a lot more than the Rebirth special did.Better setup and more engaging interaction between the soon-to-be team members.
'Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #1' by Shawna Benson and Julie Benson with art by Claire Roe is a really fun start to a series.Batgirl and Black Canary are trying to track down someone who has stolen the name of Oracle, which was used in Barbara Gordon's past. They run into Huntress who is also looking for Oracle, but while Batgirl and Black Canary want to find and question the suspect, Huntress would rather just end Oracle's life. It's the uneasy beginning of a team up, but will it last?I've bee...
A real good start.I think the ladies are going to do just fine.
art took a really deep dive in quality
CW: ableism, unhealthy relationshipsBatgirl and the Birds of Prey continues to make the same mistakes as Batgirl of Burnside, but... somehow worse? Maintaining the retcon that Barbara Gordon is suddenly abled, beautiful and young (far younger than Dinah) is gross on many levels- but really, really ableist. This book basically throws it in our faces: even when we're shown Barbara in the scene where she is paralyzed and then sexually assaulted, her main takeaway? She can't eat marshmallows anymore...
Canary and Batgirl make an awesome pair. This is one of the top Rebirth titles I've read.
Que dibujo tan feo, man. :s
Pretty decent! I'm reading too much at the moment though so might drop it for a little bit and pick up in trade.
Dinah's facial reactions in the background are the best.
