Birds of Prey #114 - DC


Okay. Sean McKeever is on board as the new scripter now . . . Nicola Scott is still very adeptly doing the pencils . . . and Sean's got the beginnings of a couple of different storylines here. First of all, Babs is obsessed with trying to figure out what happened to Tabby when that robot thing blew up last issue. Charlie's thinking about it also, but more from the point of wondering if there was some way she could have gotten her out of there. Babs is upset thought because of the tongue-lashing that Superman gave her. So she's got 2 things on her mind right now, figuring out what happened to Tabby, and training Charlie. And she's unrelenting in both tasks. Meanwhile Zindy has her own mystery going on when someone shows up in the Killer Shark costume. It can't be the original, because he'd be to old. But then again she's been misplace in the century also, so . . who knows? And, at the end of the book, Black Alice shows up at Babs doorstep. "Hey, Oracle. I've decided . . . I'm in!" But what does that mean for Charlie? Babs can't possibly have 2 teenage sidekicks going on at the same time. Can she? Babs world just seems to get more and more complicated all the time. It seems like we still have the core birds here . . but she's been reaching out more and more to various deputies also. Including, Cameron Chase, Doctor Light, Lois Lane, the Question, Onyx and Infinity. Which still leaves her with the Huntress, ManHunter and Zindy. Besides the 2 teenagers that is. I have to say that so far, I like the feel that Sean's given this book. It's a little different than before . . . but that's ok. It's still one of my favorites.
