If you want to get better acquainted with The Birds, I’d start at the beginning of Gail’s first run. Don’t even bother with the Chuck Dixon stuff, it’s crap. They are all out in trade, and they are fucking AWESOME! Some of the best books I’ve ever read. And you will fall in love with Black Canary. I promise. Here are the trades to get, in order:

Birds of Prey: Of Like Minds – Collects #56-61
Birds of Prey: Sensei & Student – Collects #63-68
Birds of Prey: Between Dark and Dawn – Collects #69-75
Birds of Prey: The Battle Within – Collects #76-85
Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch – Collects #86-90, 92-95
Birds of Prey: Blood and Circuits – Collects #96-103
Birds of Prey: Dead of Winter – Collects #104-108

After that, Gail leaves the book and the travesty that is Black Canary’s marriage to Green Arrow happens. Don’t even bother with it. Sensei & Student is my FAVORITE!!!!

The Return of Bruce Wayne was perfectly OK, but it wasn’t nearly as absorbing or lushly illustrated as BoP. Truth be told, I’m a far bigger fan of the extended Bat-family than Bruce himself. Time travel … whatever.

If I want to get to know these lovely, hardcore, totally kick-ass ladies better, what would a better place to start? They had me laughing, and I totally got the familiar feel that they’d for sure been a team once before. The part where Canary was telling herself not to cry was great, but the real kicker was when Huntress was the one who lost it a bit. Heck, I almost got teary-eyed…

Overall, I am so excited to see what happens next! I have no idea who this villain is, but I’m itching to find out. Oh, and the art was great. Really great. I know that might sound flippant, but really. Loved it.

Is it bad that I kinda wish BoP came out twice this month instead of [i]Return of Bruce Wayne[/i]?

If he steps to Huntress the wrong way, he’ll live to regret it!

Knowing the way Simone writes it promises to be interesting and hella fun!

And I also lololoLOVED the Black Canary outfit at the beginning!
