Birds of Prey, Volume 5: Soul Crisis by Christy Marx, Jonathan Glapion, Robson Rocha
3.0
This series started off interesting and it was really fun to read but then it became incredibly dull. I didn't read the whole run of Birds of Prey before (even though it has my all time favorite characters from the DC universe) because it's too long - but it wasn't my first reading of a Birds of Prey title... this was semi-good. I gave almost all the other issues 4 stars and this was one of the exceptions because near the end I got extremely bored and was almost happy it finally ended.
The whole series is overall good though (and there might be lots of people who thought it didn't become /dull/ near the end), it's female-driven, funny at times and the art is really good!
If you enjoyed this I recommend reading Gail Simone's Batgirl too:
a. you can understand Batgirl's storyline better in this arc because she sometimes disappears and comes back feeling all depressed or comes back with a friend
b. the art is very similar and well, Batgirl is definitely a better read than this.
