    I'd probably put this one a notch above Batgirl :) The team dynamic is quite good and the characters enjoyable. I feel as though Ev's/Starling's character doesn't have her back story fleshed out as much as I'd have liked, but all 3 main heroes have their own charm. Katana is especially interesting, with her back and forth with her husband/sword adding a fun dynamic to her character.

    The team is impressive and I love their designs but this comic book volume would've been better with a bit more depth and focus on everybody's psychs and behaviours. Furthermore, it was pleasing and refreshing.

      Editing … Actually I've never read a Birds of Prey (or Suicide Squad) comic book so far, care to give me a crash course on them? Who's part of the team, what powers do they have, which enemies do they fight against?

      Editing … The team revolves around #Black Canary, a blonde charming girl which knows a lot about martial arts (she knows aikido, boxing, capoeira, judo and other stuff) and she also possesses a power, the Canary Cry, which gives her a sonic attack to stun everyone around her (even her comrades).

      Editing … There's also Starling (Evelyn Crawford) in the team, a bisexual tattooed girl with firearms, Katana (Tatsu Yamashiro), a japanese girl with a katana (hence the name), she has psychological issues because she's always talking to her weapon because she says it contains her dead husband's soul.

      Editing … #Poison Ivy, a neutral character with vegetal powers, she's good with poisons and charms her opponents with drugs. She doesn't fit in the group like the other characters because she's a bit psycho and likes to kill.

      Editing … And #Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), nice character, nice Bat-costume, she's good in martial arts, has an eidetic memory (and she's proud of it) and all kinds of bat-stuff.

      Editing … Babs and Ivy are two of my fav gothamites, so that's cool. Starling sounds interesting. Do you know if Katana originated in the "beware the Batman" TV show, or has her character been invented prior to that?
