2 on Birds of Prey #13 reviewEdit: It has been brought to my attention that Jordie Bellaire goes by she/her. I should've been aware of that and I apologize for the error. I will edit my previous reviews of Birds of Prey to reflect this. Especially given how male dominated the field of comic artists is, it is extra egregious to…
This week's issue of Urban Legends wraps up all of our ongoing stories so far. This series has been a little rocky since its inception, but I think this particular issue is an extremely satisfying one considering the amount of middle-of-the-story fragments we've had so far. Batman and Zatanna in "Bound to Our Will: Part 6" …
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
In a few short weeks, Harley Quinn will assemble some Birds of Prey to take on Roman Sionis, alias Black Mask, in the major motion picture Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Sionis will be played by Ewan McGregor, so yeah, they already have my ticket, and his performance looks…
While it might seem like Marvel fans get all the fun, what with Avengers: Endgame tickets being scalped for hundreds of dollars, us DC geeks have tons of stuff to anticipate, as revealed by Warner Bros. panel at Cinemacon this year, which offered up details on Aquaman, Birds of Prey, Joker, James Gunn's Suicide Squad…
Canary. Robin. Hawk. Dove. There are so many birds in the DC universe, you could make a team out of them. Oh, right - someone did: The Birds of Prey. And that team was started by some of DC's longest-lived heroines. With the movie officially underway, it's time to start talking about the primary players…
Birds of Prey: Futures End #1 “The Red League” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha We’re continuing Futures End month with a glance at where the Birds of Prey… er… Dinah is in the future. The last time we saw Dinah, she was flying into the sunset with Condor, so what will she…
Birds of Prey #34: “Things Fall Apart” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha Last month, Christy Marx delivered, in my opinion, the best issue of Birds of Prey that she's ever penned. I was hoping she would follow up with something as strong, or stronger, to close out the book, but she doesn't.…
Birds of Prey #33 "Pretty Lies and Ugly Truths" Written by: Christy Marx Art by: Roberts Rocha Smack my behind and call me "Mammy!" I really enjoyed this issue. Yes, you read that correctly. I really enjoyed this issue! I enjoyed it to the point that once I'd finished reading, I had to go back…
Birds of Prey #32 "Expectations" Written by Christy Marx Art by Roberts Rocha After reading issue 30, I had the feeling Marx was going to do her best to close Birds of Prey on a high note. Then I read issue 31 and realized that was wishful thinking, because the book took a nose dive...…
Birds of Prey #31 “Death Jump” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha The battle with Ra’s al Ghul has ended. Mother Eve is now physically ten years old, having successfully completed her immortality process, and the Birds are kind of in a weird transition period. They helped Mother Eve by protecting her and…
Birds of Prey #30 “Soul Crisis” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha This issue is almost nothing but action, so there isn’t too much to say. Regardles, it’s done pretty damn well! With the battle finally here, it prevents Marx from delving too far into emotions and relationships – which is definitely not…
Birds of Prey #29 “The Eve of Battle” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha Before I jump into “The Eve of Battle,” I want to briefly cover issue #28. It was a “Gothtopia” tie-in, and considering Marx didn’t even devote the whole issue to “Gothtopia,” I think it’s clear she didn’t want to…
Birds of Prey #27 “Loose Ends” Written by Christy Marx Art by Daniel Sampere We’ve finally moved past the Basilisk storyline! I wasn’t a fan of Basilisk in Suicide Squad, and I definitely wasn’t a fan of it here. Unfortunately, as we move into this new arc, I feel like the book is still bogged…
On Monday, DC Comics released their list of August solicitations and Batwing, Birds of Prey, and All-Star Western all read "FINAL ISSUE." However, it should be noted that Batwing and Birds of Prey will still have special Futures End #1 issues in September, like all other New 52 titles that month. ALL-STAR WESTERN #34 Written…
The previous volume of Birds of Prey was bad. Duane Swierczynski's run began strong with a debut arc that emphasized strong characterization and thrilling espionage, but after a Night of the Owls cross-over interruption the quality of the comic began to slide. The stories that followed all seemed to deal with swapping out members of…
Coming to comic shops this Wednesday and bookstores everywhere on 12/24 is the third volume of the New 52 Birds of Prey featuring Batgirl, Black Canary, Starling, Katana, and an all-new character and former Court of Owls Talon, Strix. This 160 page trade paperback includes the last of Duane Swierczynski's run (issues #13-17) and it also…
Thugs trying to extort a dojo, flashbacks to Dinah Drake's childhood, a training montage, a massive city-wide power outage, The League of Assassins, secret agents, a mysterious piece of technology that everyone wants, riots in the streets, an incoming hurricane--- THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS COMIC! I'd even say that there's too much…
By order of the Court of Owls, Calvin must find and kill the rogue talon Strix or else his loved ones will die! Because you asked for it, I'm reviewing this week's Birds of Prey #21. This issue marks the first crossover between the mediocre Birds of Prey and the fantastic Talon series. I imagine…
Volume 1 of Duane Swierczynski's Birds of Prey was a tightly knit espionage thriller that I enjoyed, so I don't know what the heck happened between that and this! Your Kiss Might Kill is the very definition of half-baked, made up of ideas that are never played out to completion drawn by artists who never…
