Birds Of Prey #27

Overall: In all, the book is decent. There's a lot of potential with Mother Eve and Ra's al Ghul bringing some much needed complexities. But as we learned with Red Hood and the Outlaws, complex characters don't always help a story out. At least there's a clear direction for the book. Read Full Review

Birds of Prey #27 is another below average effort.  I really want to like this team, but the book just goes nowhere.  This promised Gothtopia tie-in is hardly that and instead deals with Condor's origin and Black Canary leaving the team.  We do find out the team's mysterious benefactor and it sets up a battle with one of DC's best villains.  I just hope the writing and art improve by then.

On the whole this one just sets the status quo as we launch into Gothtopia. There's nothing here you won't glean from the next issue's recap page. Read Full Review
