Birds of Prey, Vol. 6: The Battle Within by Gail Simone

mayhap's review

4.0

I am familiar with [a:Gail Simone|45103|Gail Simone|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1266594414p2/45103.jpg]'s reputation for writing a variety of female superheroes who actually interact with each other in interesting ways, and I can now confirm that it is, indeed, deserved! I could wish that they were not all drawn as being absolutely interchangeably Barbie-shaped, but you can't have everything. (And a set of Birds of Prey Barbie dolls would be a fun project, if I were craftier.)

This is volume 4, and there's some great Oracle plot in it. In one trade, we get several arcs with different villains. (And if you thought Nikki on Heroes was kind of a wimp, the villain Rose/Thorn is a much better treatment of the same idea). Some slightly soap-opera-y team drama, but it's not overdone.

More disjointed than the previous ones.
Art still terrible.
