OK So here's the Thing - this is a fairly decent issue with enough action and mystery to keep you happy and the whole secret Oracle-imposter is also a genuinely nice plot but The art is really letting the issue down.

The art is really awkward to say the least with facial expressions of the characters really not making any sense with the surrounding , even the general sketch of all the characters whether they are standing , fighting or sitting on a table looks off . The colouring is actually good though it's the sketches that are killing this issue though

The plot was faily average with the main point being the formation of the Birds of Prey and the introduction of a villainous group looking to overpower the Birds of Prey . Much hype for this issue went to Black Canary and Huntress which made another negative point for me i.e lack of Batgirl , i mean i could point out every wrong move Barbara made and it was almost like in trying to make Huntress and Black canary look cool Shawna Benson just made Batgirl seem lame

So it was quite dissapointing but it would have been less dissatisfying had the art come to some sort of rescue instead the art made the matter worse and made the issue bad when it could easily have had been simply average

Not quite as good as the Rebirth issue, but I still love the dynamic between Batgirl/Canary/Huntress. Definitely gonna stick with it for a while.

Really disappointed by this series thus far. Also, not terribly happy with the art.
