Birds of Prey, Vol. 7: Perfect Pitch
by Gail Simone, Paulo Siqueira, Joe Bennett, Bruce Timm, David López
A really strong first half sadly shifted to a okay second half due to event.
So what's it about now that we're in the 7th volume of birds of prey? Is it still fun? Well yeah, duh, it's written by Gail Simone. So we have the birds all working together once more to take down the mob. Yes...the fucking MOB. Even Batman gets involved and he isn't too happy. We also have Gordan find out the big secret of who Barbara really is. Next up is the one year time skip which leaves Black Canary and Shiva exchanging lives and trying to be each other's style of life for awhile while protecting a certain doctor's daughter from getting abducted by one of the most vicious villains out there.
Good: First half really is fun. The feel of family with the team is special that don't get in other titles. The art is a nice improvement here. Not so many ass shots, a bit more cartoony, yet the action stays super high end and fun. Also the year time skip isn't all bad, I like the switch between Shiva and Black Canary a lot.
Bad: But the pacing of the 2nd half feels off. As if we just got back together the team in the first half and now they are kind of broken up here. Also, the dialogue abundance at times in fights still is a bit much.
Overall, another great collection. Sure, still too much dialogue at times and the shift of the 2nd half is a bit much, but it remains fun and entertaining throughout. A 3.5 out of 5.
