A thing at the end of the comic.

Hope you liked it.

>>85542718
there's an Asp in Marvel's Serpent Society, but in Kobra Kult everyone but Kobra I believe is just mooks.

>>85542769
Could have sworn DC had more snake guys like Copperhead.

>>85542769
they do but they're not a team of Snake guys.

>>85542703
Not letting the spy torture people is lame.

>>85542525
Cute!

This was...weird?

I'm getting flashbacks to Percy on New52 Green Arrow. Weird pacing, villains introduced awkwardly, etc. That's not necessarily the worst thing because, hey, Percy got WAY better with the help of Andy Khouri as an editor and some great artists.

But that definitely means this'll be a series of "growing pains" for the writers for the foreseeable future. Let's hope they git gud sooner rather than later.

>>85543134
The dialogue is really bad here. It's like the writers are unable to make the characters distinct without needing them to shout out their differences to each other.

>>85543171
It's basically Lobdell-style characterization

>>85542647

>Manages to take on both Batgirl and Black Canary at the same time
>Also beat the everloving shit out of Cassandra Cain

Just how powerful is N52 Huntress?

>>85542581

Dinah looks like a dude and I'm already bored.

Dropped.

A Birds of Prey comic without any sexy female characters in skimpy outfits? Why even bother?

>>85542536
I like that upside down cover less and less the more I see it.

The art is ugly but somehow this Huntress costume is growing on me.

>>85542546
Is Babs having been Oracles suddenly a big thing in this book?

>>85542727
Who that?

>>85542653
>>85542673
Little fast and loose with the secret identities around the mob boss, eh?

>>85542727
How certain is everyone that the new Oracle is just James Jr.? I'm 70% sure it is him, 30% sure it is Calculator.

>>85542518
Please put storytime in the title, anon.

>>85542613
that smug tiger

>>85543618
Calculator was doing shit in the metal men part of the legends of tomorrow book, so its probably not him. It's most likely James Jr at this point

>>85543187
well Lobdell got better so maybe we need to wait five years here as well

This is awful

>>85542554
I like the art. The girls aren't pretty, but who says they have to be? Faces and body language are emotive. Perspectives are good. There's a decent sense of movement in the linework. The inker might need to dial it back a bit, but that's about it.

>>85543134
>>85543171
These are two writers from the 100. Kinda like Percy's GA, it's less the dialogue and more the dialogue pacing and paneling.

obligatory thread theme

>>85542581
>Babs has never been the type to let her emotions run roughshod over her restraint.

Why do people keep saying this? Whenever I see Batgirl, she's usually upset, standoffish, impulsive and arguing with people. She seems like a hothead to me, which wouldn't even be a problem, but why is everyone always describing her as level-headed when she never was, except for when she was Oracle?

>bad art
>CW-tier writing
The Rebirth issue showed promise, damn what a fall.

>>85543372
What do you call Dinah's top under the jacket?

>>85542718
>He's raising his hand
Predictable but somehow still kind of adorable

>>85542554
Is this the guy who "redesigns" characters from anime to be as ugly as possible?

>>85544436
Agreed.

>>85542718
I like this mob guy.

>>85545003
I was wondering the same thing.

>>85545003
They're trying to reconcile Babsgirl and Oracle, and it's not really working.

>>85542554
But the dumb blond routine did not achive anything shooting first and asking questions later wouldn't have

>>85542581
Ok i havent minded most of the art but that mouth is horrible what the fuck happened.

>>85542554
>that Star Wars reference
heh

>>85542607
Are they trying to confuse the reader.

Theres potential here but a lot of the execution falls flat

>>85542613
On the one hand i like that we said it was tacky bit but on the other hand how the fuck is that tacky

>>85542596
I see we're still trying to make Barbara super relatable to the kids

>>85542635
>>85542647
I really like the action the art is rough but dam do the fights look good.

>>85542687
Man that dialogue is terrible. It sounds like a parody of the buddy cop cliches. Also the art continues to be atrocious

>>85542687
Still better then the nu52 formation of the justice league

>>85543209
master spy, so pretty much powerful, around Grifter level

>>85542718
Shouldn't Batgirl avoid talking to Jim? I have the feeling he'll be able to recognize his daughter's voice pretty easily.

>>85542703
>i dont follow the rules
>fair enough
Theres some real gems in her among the rough dialouge.

>we interrogate not torture.
You can tell shes a member of the batfamily

>>85542727
>cry me a river
Dam shes fast.
With some fine tuning this book could have great dialouge.

>>85543513
Im the opisiote its growing on me.

>>85546358
I see what you mean.

>>85545003
IT WAS JUST SEX FOR GOD'S SAKE

What would be the story of a Birds of Prey vs Gotham Sirens movie?

Black Canary, Batgirl, Huntress, Lady Blackhawk
vs.
Harly Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Killer Frost (not Gotham Sirens, but that would be a nice addition)

Cameos: Batman, Nightwing, Wildcat, Vixen, Katana, Hawkgirl?

>>85542607
>I didn't think it was possible to misspell "bird"

Oh god, please be Riddler.

>>85542518
>Black Canary not in her leotard
>Huntress not with her Ab Window

I hate *Current Year*. But I guess the comic is aimed at impressionable young girls as opposed to creepy overweight men. That's okay. One day we'll get the smut back.

>>85542621

>It is their literal first comic

It's not anon.

>>85551462
What have they done? I thought all of their credit was The 100 show on CW.

>>85542525
Who did this? I think I remember the style from some pice of HarleyxIvy fan-art

>>85550926
the ab window outfit is huntress' worst outfit

even pre crisis helena's outfit was better than that one

>>85551850

Oh nevermind, I thought you were talking about the artist, not the writer.

>>85542525
Babs looks like a 14 year old next to two 30 year olds

>>85542525
Barbara legit looks 13 years old.

>>85553473

>>85542846
Thank you sir

>>85542662
looks like a Jojo character

>>85542653
I want details on Dick

>>85556775
But the most she could say is that they made out maybe twice. Then a ghost Nazi said Babs was one true love and prettier. Actually I'm gonna laugh if that's the reason she is so harsh towards Babsgirl.

>>85545385

Claire Roe is a girl.

>>85558503
It was proven that guy didn't understand Dick at all like 5 pages later. No reason for her to believe it but it could cause drama I guess.

>>85558540
Yep. Even if she knows the guy was lying it would be hard to fight off those thoughts of another woman. Makes sense too with the writers pointing out that's the only thing they have in common.

>>85551871
Kamome Shirahama

Well, I'm glad I dropped this from my pull list after the rebirth. The faces and perspectives just aren't there, and coupled that with a cringey story it had to go. Shame because BoP is some of my favorite stuff.

HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY THIS

>>85542554
Why can't her scream fuck oracle over the radio?

>>85559038
It's ugly but not uniquely so. Seems like the artist is attempting to mimic house style but it's not a good fit.

>>85542581
How people even knows about Oracle's name? Wasn't she just person on the radio for Batman and maybe Robins?

>>85559175

I've never seen another penciler / inker make a nose look that way, or a mouth. Nothing to do with House Style or not.

>>85559322
Helena knows for obvious reasons. Someone else knowing is the plot of this arc.

>>85542662
He looks all female character in that comics. Is that the reason why he's shirtless?

>>85559403
Nose is more unique, but I'd say Benes' mouths look like that a lot. Really tumory and ugly, it's why I generally don't like his art.

>>85542687
I'm with blonde on this one.

>>85548058
You mean good Batman don't torture people?

>>85550540
It could be a good movie, but you need only Batgirl and Catwoman VS Harley and Ivy.

But many people would call it sexist catfight, so studio wouldn't ever make.

>>85559581
I mean, other than hanging people from roofs even Bruce doesn't get too into the torture shit.

>>85558503
well, there was some time between the end of grayson and when grayson officially left spyral, right?

maybe they fucked?
