Product Description:
When Dinah Lance, aka the freelance superheroine Black Canary - an expert martial artist with a potent 'sonic cry' - takes a job from the mysterious information-broker known as 'Oracle', little does she realise that a powerful new partnership is about to begin! 'Oracle' is, in fact, Barbara Gordon - the former Batgirl, left in a wheelchair after being shot by the Joker. While she is a computer expert with access to vast data repositories, she needs a field agent to act for her - and Black Canary fits the bill! Join the Birds of Prey through a series of hard-hitting contemporary adventures, and some team-ups with most unexpected allies, including the Huntress and Catwoman!

I admit, in this tradepaperback it can get a little confusing, (hence the 4 out of 5 stars) since they compile a few storylines together and sometimes they end one section and start another without a full explanation. But it's all worth the last section where Black Canary teams up with the Huntress and Catwoman and aggravate poor Oracle to no end. That alone (plus the art work is excellent) is worth the price of this book.

BIRDS OF PREY trade paperback explains just how different, yet similar both the Black Canary and Oracle are. Seperate, they are formidable. Together, they are deadly.

Just so you know, I collect the monthly comic as well. These two characters have something special and they compliment each other well. For all action junkies looking for something ... Read More

Birds of Prey is one of my favorite comic books. Not only does it feature two strong female characters who act without the assistance of male heroes, but the stories also read like straightforward adventure stories, rather than typically fantastic superhero adventures. The fact that Black Canary and Oracle exist in a superhero universe is almost completely incidental to these tales (guest appearances by other Batman characters Catwoman and Huntress notwithstanding). The fact that Oracle is a positive ... Read More

In this book, the girlfriend of the late Green Arrow, Black Canary, gets into and out of all sorts of adventures with the help of Oracle, the crippled, one-time Batgirl. It features the first issue of the comic Birds of Prey, as well as issues that include Lois Lane, Catwoman, Huntress, and Lady Shiva. The interaction between Black Canary, devil-may-care adventuress, and Oracle, the responsible Comissioner's daughter, is amusing. It's a good book full of fun. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys women in ... Read More
