Sometimes you can't go home again
You know when a band reforms after a few years `pursuing solo projects', then it turns out that maybe they split up because they had nothing new to offer and we might have been better off with them not getting back together? That's kind of how I feel about Gail Simone's return to Birds of Prey. It's not bad, exactly, but there doesn't feel like there's anything new here. Oracle reassembles Huntress, Black Canary and Lady Blackhawk when she starts receiving blackmail material on all of them and adds Dove and the newly-resurrected Hawk to the team too. While they're protecting the Penguin the group run afoul of a new antagonist, White Canary, with ties to one team member's past. Meanwhile Oracle must deal with the return of two of Simone's earlier creations, Creote and Savant. Oh, and Lady Shiva shows up too. There's a lot going on in the six issues collected here - too much. Hawk and Dove's presence feels like an edict from above given their...
Birds of Prey are BACK BABY! Oracle, Huntress, Black Canary, OH MY! Gail Simone returns in epic form. A+!!!
I've been in love with Birds of Prey since pretty much the very first issue Gail Simone worked on. () I had loved Huntress, and even moreso, Black Canary, for even longer than that. And I was devastated to see it go, even though we got some GREAT Black Canary moments with the Justice League and in Green Arrow/Black Canary. ( ) To have Gail Simone returning to reboot the series that...
A turning point
This is a turning point in the lives of the members of the Birds of Prey, especially Black Cannery, but I guess we will never know with the universe relaunch.

What could have been
Talk about spanning the spectrum. In this one trade alone we go from the highly anticipated and emotionally charged reunion between two renowned comic characters infamously linked forever, to a group of incredibly lame and inane sci-fi villains not worthy of a second glance. No wonder this title lost its' readership and subsequently its' very existence. It's all over the map, recklessly bounding from one fancy to another, noticeably lacking any consistent sense of direction. Perhaps even the inclusion of the Joker was due primarily to the series' imminent demise and not the realization of the potential affording itself, especially if they had taken the opportunity and really ran with it, which sadly and shamefully they didn't. Of course what course and tone the book could have and should have employed is now a moot point, but silly sci-fi was certainly not one of them. Part of the problem could stem from the inclusion of team members with metahuman powers themselves, like Infinity and...
Awesome confrontation between Oracle and Joker
I'm not a huge Birds of Prey fan but I picked up this because of the B plot between the Joker and Barbara Gordon. The A plot about the Silicon Syndicate didn't do much for me but the confrontation between Barbara and Joker was well worth the price of the book. It's great to see a strong woman go toe to toe with the Joker and even though what Oracle gives the Joker doesn't make up for him making her a cripple it's pretty darned satisfying (I love the guy, but he had it coming). This part of the book at least is a worthy follow up to "The Killing Joke".

MEANWHILE...back at the Clock Tower!!
After five long years of fans begging and pleading, the way too-short TV series Birds of Prey is getting a complete DVD release! The news is truly worth shouting about. Loosely based on DC Comics and a variety of other sources with a touch of Marvel's the X-Men thrown in, the series continues the legend of The Batman. We enter the future, dark and fantastic world of New Gotham City. Long after The Batman has driven himself into exile, his legacy lives on in the form of the Birds of Prey - Black Canary, Oracle, and the Huntress. From the creators of the CW hit Smallville, Birds of the Prey was produced in 2002 for the now defunct WB, but had only 13 episodes before cancellation. Since then, its devoted fan base worked tirelessly to have the series released on DVD. It was a really exciting action show, breaking new ground because ALL of the lead characters were women. This boxed set collects all 13 episodes and a never-collected-on-DVD...
Never given the time and opportunity to grow
Despite the many liberties it took with DC mythology, Birds of Prey displayed a boat load of promise, but sadly got the axe before it had the chance to grow into something special. The story revolves around Helena Kyle, AKA The Huntress (Jericho's Ashley Scott), who just so happens to be the daughter of Batman and Catwoman. She joins forces with the wheelchair-bound former Batgirl Barbara Gordon (Dina Meyer), and the telepathic Dinah (Rachel Skarsten) to fight crime in Gotham City when Batman mysteriously disappears. Other familiar faces from the Batman world appear also throughout the course of the series, including trusty butler Alfred (Ian Abercrombie), Harley Quinn (Mia Sara), and even the Joker (played by Roger Stoneburner with the voice of Batman: The Animated Series' own Mark Hamil!), but there were often times when the show just felt as if it wasn't sure of what it was. Granted though, Birds of Prey never came off as cheesey and sugar-coated as Smallville, and by the time...
A good concept that just needed a bat-boost
By the time they finished airing the new episodes I was sad to see it go. This was a show that would eventually build on the character driven stories to show some fine performances by the leads. The interplay between the characters was well balanced and entertaining. The addition of Mia Sara as Harley toward the end of the series was fantastic. Great villians make for great heros. Nice casting. I waited a while to see a decent program with Dina Meyer as a lead. This was that show for me. Ashley and Rachel both seemed to dive into their parts with some flair. With Alfred and the detective rounding out the regulars. My one criticism was that (especially on my recorded tapes) the sound volume seemed to be very low at times. Not so, with other shows I had recorded. I had to rewind and turn the volume up to catch a joke spoken "under the breath" more than once. Worth the effort, but not something I would expect the casual viewer to go through. The...

Strong women, great dialogue
Three introductory vignettes help us get to know Oracle, Black Canary and the Huntress before settling down to two main story arcs. In the first story, the Calculator (whose obsessive behavior has made him the primary source of information for Lex Luthor's Secret Society) becomes obsessed with finding Oracle and hires goons to capture and torture her agent Savant, hoping to lure her out into the open. Meanwhile, Huntress and the rest of the Birds brutalize rival gangs in a bold bid to infiltrate the mob, forcing Batman to move in to prevent a major bloodbath. When the Birds finally move to rescue Savant they find none other than Deathstroke ready and waiting for them. In the second tale, the Society's leading torture doctor has threatened to turn against them, so the Society is out to get him and his daughter. Much to everyone's surprise (and consternation) Dinah has switched places with the legendary assassin knows as Shiva. Shiva joins the Birds to try...
Best women charcaters in comics!!
Birds of Prey by Gail Simone and a host of artists truely displays great comics writing without making the women in the book a cliche! The multitude of artists and the somewhat jarring break in the middle take away some of the glory of this trade but overall all its very good.
Consistently good
I first started to like this book with Chuck Dixon. No disrespect to him but Gail Simone is very good. I recommend all the Birds of Prey titles with her writing. Too bad she has moved on to Wonder Woman. The art is also very good.

PG&E is in for another spate of public criticism. This time it will be over the utility’s new usage rates, which were approved by regulators on Thursday. Homeowners consuming the most electricity will pay less per kilowatt hour than they did previously, causing critics to accuse PG&E of incentivizing wasteful energy habits. Still, the most frugal consumers pay 12.2 cents per kilowatt hour, while the biggest users pay 33.3 cents per kWh, down from 40.4 cents per kWh. [Read more - San Francisco Chronicle]

Activists gathered to protest Chevron’s “environmental crimes,” in particular the alleged destruction of Amazon rainforest in Ecuador  by its subsidiary, Texaco.

In total, at least 70 percent of Florida's recreational gamefish, prey species and crustaceans depend on seagrasses at certain stages of their lives. Safe to say, all coastal anglers depend on that grassbed bounty in some form or another.
