Birds of Prey is an iconic DC team dating back to the 1990s, one that has highlighted some of the best and most fascinating heroines in their superhero universe. The team has floundered for the past decade, with different lineups from different creators failing to capture the joy and adventure of the original run, but Thompson and Romero have done an amazing job showcasing what has always made the Birds delightful while adding something new and fresh to the mix. Each issue is a blast, start to finish, and this first volume of the run spotlights the unique and engaging team with snappy dialogue, nonstop action, and gorgeous artwork.

It has all the tropes you look for in fantastical fun, but with a modern sensibility and the sharp insight I've come to expect from Wilson over the years. Wildgoose's art makes the story soar, from grand battle scenes to the smallest character moments. I hope that there are many, many volumes to come as we explore this world further.
