Birds of Prey #120 - DC


There's more than a few good things about this book lately. First of all, Tony Bedard has been turning in some good story-lines. He's been reestablishing the team in Platinum Flats, and we've been building on that for the last few issues. It seems now that all of our ducks are in place that the team is finally going to go after this syndicate that runs the town. Also Stephane Roux has been turning in some fantastic covers for this series. She's been on the covers for the last 6 or so issues and they all look wonderful. This one is no exception. Finally,
Nicola Scott has been doing a fantastic job with the interiors, but it looks like she's moving on to other things. This issue Michael O'Hare takes over on pencils. This issue looks fantastic. Michael definitely has a flair for drawing these women. Everyone looks fantastic . . including the new girl Infinity. I'm not sure how long Babs has been using her, but apparently she's the only one that knows about her. We also have 2 surprise guests this issue. First if Gizmo. He's still alive . . I guess . . even though he has a hole in his head. The Syndicate is keeping him locked up, using him for information. And on the final page of the book . . . the Joker is back. He wants to know who's been stealing his Joker-gas while he's been out of town. "I let him go, follow him here, all of which brings us to the zillion-dollar question: who the screamin' blue heck are you?" This continues to be one of my favorite books out there. I love the concept and I love the characters.
