vee615's review against another edition
2.0
I don't understand how a volume 2 could touch on almost none of volume 1. Its constantly going back and forth in time and never seems to explain where Poison Ivy is or what happened to the villain in the last issue. I probably won't bother with anymore of these.

- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Read this in the original issues rather than the Trade Paperback. I'm up to Issue 13 now. :)

I'm about to go on a Birds of Prey bender and this is a great jumping off point. This new team is still coming together and building trust and that feels really organic in this first volume.

This is good when it's good and terrible when it's bad. The team is fine and Batgirl's cameos are nice but the villain is dull. He's the really lame Moriarty of this mystery book. His troops fall faster than Vader's stormtroopers or Shredder's footsoldiers so they're really no fun. The most enjoyment is found in the interpersonal relationships between the 'heroines.' Poison Ivy and Katana are probably the most interesting characters in this volume as Starling's origins are kind of murky and Black Canary is almost as brooding -I mean as boring as Batman.

You cannot guess how much I enjoyed it. It isn’t just the women team that I always dreamed to read, the art is beautiful and the story so interesting.

This is a great blend of writing and art team, especially how the clear lines gave room for the colorist to breathe. I do agree with another reviewer that there were pacing and plot issues.
