Birds of Prey #6

If you somehow have not been reading this new era of Birds of Prey, catch up and fix that right now. Read Full Review

I don't even know how to feel right now as I'm so in love with this series. There is so much detail in every panel and line of Birds of Prey #6. This team has created a series that will last for a very long time as one of the best runs of this series ever. I can't wait to see what happens next in the series, as there is one heck of a setup for the next arc! Read Full Review

Thompson has put together a compelling team with a unique mission statement, and is pairing with one of the best artists in the industry to bring it to life. Read Full Review

Romero delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are dynamic and filled with great detail throughout. Read Full Review

The ending does have a hook for the next arc and this is a welcome note considering Thompson is doing such a great job with the title. Read Full Review

I for one have been a big fan of this series and am happy that we have so many talented people working together! Does that mean the story is without flaws? Of course not. The small things pile up and the art makes up for a lot but this series has to definitely find creative ways to make everything more than a joke. I like how the ending shows a glimmer of hope as it takes things more seriously when appropriate. The issue starts off tense, gets to show off badass beatings Read Full Review

Solid, entertaining finale to the first storyline, with a lot of characters getting big moments to shine, and a fun new status quo set up going forward. Read Full Review

More surprising was the reveal that this team is not locked in place as characters will rotate in and out. Thompson had a good handle on the cast so it's a little disappointing they won't have time to get in to more crazy adventures. Read Full Review

With the first arc finished,Birds of Preystarts on a more promising footing for its next arc. The seeds are planted for something really interesting, but I'm certainly proceeding with caution. Read Full Review

Birds Of Prey #6 ends the first arc with a big action moment, a new status quo for at least one character, and the groundwork for the title's future. That said, many of the plot points that didn't sit right in the beginning resulted in too many plot holes that are either ignored or lazily explained away, suggesting the Birds of Prey is NOT in capable hands. Read Full Review

While the ending of Birds of Prey #6 indicates there may be some hope for this title in future issues, the finale of this first arc reinforces the notion that Thompson isn't all that interested in the Birds of Prey concept. It's a disappointing first arc for the relaunch of a Birds of Prey title. The magic, mystical and time travel elements push the title further away from that core concept of the grounded, hand-to-hand combat, espionage, undercover mission that is central to the Birds of Prey concept. It would be better for Thompson to create a new team without damaging the Birds of Prey. A complete restart is the best option for this series, either as a proper Birds of Prey title, or a new team concept that fits what Thompson actually wants to write about. Read Full Review

Great ending to a really fun first arc. This series is a lot of fun, and the art by Romero and Bellaire continues to be absolutely stellar.

The first arc was not that bad. I liked the resolution

First and foremost, I have to give major kudos and love to the art team of @leo_romero11 & #jordoebellaire who have defined this young series’ visual identity in such a unique and impressive way. It took an issue or two for me to get used to it, but my love for their style became apparent when they both received a break from the last issue and we had guest artists. The artwork in this issue is absolutely gorgeous and these two artists deserve so many accolades for how much a swing they took with this approach to the art. The art does save this story in the issue which I felt was a mixed bag. On the one hand, I enjoyed seeing more of Barda, Zealot, and Cassie, but on the other hand I found the final battle with Megaera to be poorly pac ed and a rushed conclusion. I really loved what @1979semifinalist did in the scenes after the battle was finished, tying up many of the loose ends from the first issue which angry social media fans unfairly criticized her for before she even had a chance to tell her first arc. It ended with an intriguing cliffhanger that sets up the next arc in exciting fashion, though I’m sad this may mean the end for some of the Birds we’ve come to love in these first six issues (except Harley Quinn, who I hope gets some much needed time off 😉). more

There's a good enough story being told here, but it's held back by a lot of unnecessary exposition and weak dialogue and characterization. These are colorful, distinguished characters with lots of history, yet they're being written as all largely bland and interchangeable as they stand around and tell each other what the plot is. There's a lot to like here; the inclusion of Cass Cain, all this emphasis on Zealot--meanwhile, this is the limpest Dinah ever and the interesting relationship between her and Sin is completely ignored along with the potential of all these good characters. I feel like I see what the book is going for, and with less exposition and more believable dialogue it could be really strong. The art is still great.
