I think I'm starting to figure out what I love and dislike about Gail Simone's Birds of prey. Luckily, this volume hits more positives than the last two.

This hefty volume has a few different stories. From going on a road trip to stop some evil creature/woman from killing people. Another about a girl who can summon the powers of superheroes like Shazam and so on. Then we have one where Huntress breaks away from the team, but this time maybe for good? A story of Babs dealing with the aftermath of the Braniac invasion. Another of Diana dealing with her past and teaming up with Catman (He's awesome by the way). So a lot in this volume is going on.

Good: The art I've warmed up to a lot. I guess the sexy shots and such just kind of flow in. Least the fights look pretty great. I also really love the girls when they are being friends/family and kind of more down to earth. It flows so easy. Diana character growth is amazing and really well done, while Huntress and Babs grow they aren't as interesting but still enjoyable. The ending seems really interesting to where this goes next.

Bad: The main issue I'm having with this is Gail's needlessly dialogue heavy fight scenes. Don't get me wrong, they can work, and Gail has a magical talent for dialogue between characters when not fighting. It works so well and I love the emotional bits. But the fighting talkative bits are so overdone and honestly get in the way of the fights. Also, some stories feel to disconnected and almost like a weekly episode.

Overall a very solid volume. Liked it more than the last two. While not AS good as volume 3, it still up there. A 4 out of 5.
