Well this wasn't as good as I hoped. I usually dig a lot of what Duane writes but this new team of birds of Prey just didn't gel with me.

Right off the bat we have Black Canary kind of building her team from the scratch up. Gone are Huntress and Batgirl (mostly) and instead we have a new team with the likes of Katana and Poison Ivy on it. However, the big nasty here as planted a bomb inside of people so that they can use regular humans as weapons. This of course leads to one of our teammates getting infected and others might be on the side of betraying.

Good: I enjoyed most of the costume changes. Gone are the days of ass in the face, which I love ass but it was too much, and actual some practical costumes for once. I dug the fights, they were fast and fun. I also thought some of the new additions were cool like Katana.

Bad: The rest? Not so much. Poison Ivy was one note and bad. The crazy chick who goes bad, can't recall the name now, was also lame. I thought the storyline was kind of meh and nothing to write home about. The ending didn't do much to get me excited.

This is coming from Gail's series, so it might be hard to measure up, but it didn't do much. It wasn't horrible, but I expect better. A 2.5 out of 5.
