One last mission. One final fight. No do-overs. No second chances. And the fate of the Birds of Prey hangs in the balance. The Unreality is collapsing and threatening all of Gotham as it spills out into the real world in dangerous and unexpected ways. As the Birds of Prey struggle to survive inside the game, the final showdown will test everything the team has built. Can the Birds get to the heart of what the Shadow Army’s real goal has been all along before it’s too late for them…and for Gotham?
While this final arc has had some rocky moments, the final issue of Birds of Prey offers a fantastic close to this underrated series. Read Full Review
The action and character work is excellent, but unfortunately this story has to wrap up in what feels like a bit of a hurry. This is common with cancelled series, but it shows here even as Kelly Thompson is still able to tie things up neatly, give every character a little epilogue, and send them off into new adventures. Easily the best Birds run since Gail Simone's. Read Full Review
This issue shined in what was the strength of Thompson's run, the chemistry between the cast. Read Full Review
There's a little bit of handwaving about the precise nature of the Unreality, but its all in service of a neat little plot, aided and abetted by some attractive art. I'm sorry to see this book go. again. Read Full Review
The stories and art of this series haven't been my favorite, but the writing and characters have been absolutely enjoyable. Numerous times per issue I just start grinning from the dialog and interactions. Overall this issue was a lot of fun, even if I didn't really care about the actual plot or what was happening. The characters, especially Barda, were so likeable and fun that I could just read hangout issues every month. I need a Barda and the Little Bat series now.
This was a solid ending to this series, and Kely Thompson writing makes this in my opinion the definitive Birds of Prey series
