| The New Batgirl
burst onto the scene in Batman: No Man's Land, Volume 3. From the start,
she made a huge impact on the flow of the storyline. From her new take
on the Batgirl mythos, to her unusual personal situations, every moment
of this book is exciting and interesting. I read this book 2 times in a
row, right off the bat (no pun intended). Batgirl is a 17 year old girl
with no speech development in her brain, all her life, she's been deprived
of speech, and taught to fight instead. Her brain workes off of body language
and movement instead of words and meanings. |
| Her struggle
to make a place for herself in light of this situation is very well written,
truly a heartfelt and moving adventure. Her relationship with Oracle (Barbara
Gordon, the former Batgirl) and Batman is a completely unique take on the
Mentor-student role. |

adventures of Black Canary and Oracle — the BIRDS OF PREY — are collected
in an affordable trade paperback. Reprinting the BLACK CANARY/ORACLE: BIRDS
OF PREY one-shot, the 4-issue BIRDS OF PREY: MANHUNT miniseries, the BIRDS
OF PREY: REVOLUTION one-shot and the BIRDS story from SHOWCASE '96 #3,
these stories find Oracle and the Canary assisted by unlikely allies such
as Catwoman, the Huntress and Lois Lane. |

|
| In this book,
former member of the JLA, Black Canary, gets into and out of all sorts
of adventures with the help of Oracle, the crippled heroinne once known
as Batgirl. This graphic novel features the first issue of the comic BIRDS
OF PREY, as well as issues including Lois Lane, Catwoman, Huntress, and
Lady Shiva. The interaction between Black Canary, devil-may-care adventuress,
and Oracle, the responsible daughter of Comissioner Gordon, is amusing.
It's a good book full of fun. Recommend to anyone who enjoys action-oriented
comics. |
