Birds of Prey, Vol. 3: Of Like Minds
by Gail Simone
I'm starting to think Gail Simone will make any series I read atleast interesting. Lucky for me, Birds of Prey is GREAT.
So we have Oracle lead a team of badass woman who kick some ass. Honestly though, deeper down, it's about a sisterhood all trying to respect and work with each other by taking on very dangerous missions. This one is kind of great as we have a main enemy, not only for Black Canary, but also for Oracle herself in terms of computer smarts. Savant is our main baddie here and he's kind of cunning, really evil, and creepy as shit. Add that with some intense fights, fun banter, and great dialog and you have a heck of a story.
Good: Loved the way all the girls got together, but all vastly different, that make each of them unique. I also enjoyed Savant as a villain and he's weird and creepy in all the right ways. The story and pacing were great, never boring, and always entertaining.
Bad: The art. I mean it's good but holy hell do I feel like half the shots of the girls are up their ass, vagina, or on their boobs. Just sooooo many. It was distracting. (I love me some Black Canary tho)
Overall it was a ton of fun. I can see why this series is held in such high regards. Hope it continues to be a delight. A 4 out of 5.
