The crime fighting trio Birds of Prey are split up, as Huntress
is sent undercover to take down a religious cult with a dangerous
secret and a hidden operative - someone more powerful and
deadlier than any one bird. Even the last-minute arrival of
Black Canary may not be enough to save innocent lives. Meantime,
information broker Oracle hasn't quite been herself, as she
wages a private, internal battle against the villainous android
Brainiac, who has infected her with a techno-organic virus
that threatens to turn her into a walking, talking machine...
Between
Dark and Dawn is
the latest Birds of Prey collection to be released
through Titan Books. Trouble is brewing as Oracle is not in
control of her own mind - and if the entity that is attempting
to take over her body does so successfully it will also bring
down the rest of the group. Undercover, Huntress embarks on
a mission to take down a cult leader whose teachings go a
little beyond a crazed fanatic. Vixen is already there...
but Huntress really shouldn't count on her being able to help
her.
This
collection is packed to bursting with meaty goodness. Gail
Simone's writing is engaging and the art is fantastic.
I
loved the henchmen's meet - where the goons of Gotham's villains
get together to make a stand against their bosses. The fact
that they don't get paid very well, while putting their lives
in danger (from their bosses as well as costumed vigilantes)
is starting to really annoy them. They want to start a union
and plan to strike if their demands are not met.
If
you don't usually read Bird of Prey tales, then this
is the time to start. A roller coaster ride from beginning
to end.
