Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, Volume 1: Who Is Oracle?, by Steve Wands, Allen Passalaqua, Deron Bennett, Shawna Benson, Claire Roe, Julie Benson, Roge Antonio, Yanick Paquette, Nathan Fairbairn
4.0
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Very much like the previous arc of Birds of Prey comic book series, I absolutely loved this one. Not just because it’s a female-centered group of kickass women, but because they are some of the best comic book characters I have ever read and they compliment each other really well.
Of all the DC women, Wonder Woman and Batwoman have always been my favorites, with Batgirl a bit further down the list. This first volume of the new Rebirth line, however, might have just changed that. Batgirl is a surprisingly strong leader while both Canary and the ‘Purple Girl’ (I won’t reveal her name as it’s a spoiler) play equal important roles to her Alpha image.
The storyline is gripping with just enough action and drama to keep me fully entertained. I wasn’t expecting things to take an emotional turn towards the end but I am glad for it nonetheless as I think it made me like ‘Purple Girl’ out a bit more.
I am DYING for the next volume already.
