Batgirl and the Birds of Prey (2016-2018) Vol. 1: Who is Oracle? Kindle & comiXology

by Shawna Benson (Author), Julie Benson (Author), Claire Roe (Illustrator, Artist) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 219 ratings
Barbara Gordon is no stranger to secrets. She's the daughter of GCPD Jim Gordon, the vigilante known as Batgirl and was once Oracle, the most powerful hacker on the planet.
 
Someone new has resurrected the Oracle mantle that Babs once controlled, and whoever is behind it is sending Batgirl on a wild chase all across Gotham City. By her side are two equally dangerous vigilantes--Dinah Lance, the rock star-turned-hero known as Black Canary, and Helena Bertinelli, the lethal spy code-named the Huntress.
 
Can this mismatched trio come together in time to solve the mystery of the new Oracle and defeat the villainous forces arrayed against them? Or will these Birds of Prey have their wings clipped before they can even get off the ground?

 Find out in BATGIRL AND THE BIRDS OF PREY VOL. 1: WHO IS ORACLE? The start of a whole new era for Gotham City’s greatest superhero team! From writers Shawna and Julie Benson (TV’s The 100) and artists Claire Roe (VERTIGO QUARTERLY SFX) and Roge Antonio (NIGHTWING), it’s an action-packed adventure on the streets of Gotham. Collects issues #1-6 and the BATGIRL AND THE BIRDS OF PREY: REBIRTH one-shot.

Nostalgia and new mix in an exciting combo
This is my first drift away from Marvel comics in a long time. Most of my experience with Batgirl was from Arkham video games and animated portrayals. Possible spoiler warning: she’s not in the wheelchair anymore and is back to kicking butt rather than watching a monitor. The Birds Of Prey team comes in to play off of BG, each with their own strong personalities. Old and new villains bring in some nostalgia as well as significant problems for the heroes. My only regret is I don’t think I can pull of the Huntress cosplay.

    The story was good enough to make me read everything in one sitting. The art is beautiful, the team has its beloved original trio and the settings fit for a Bat-related title. And I really like Gordon back as Batgirl. Recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Birds Of Prey Are Back
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Batgirl And The Birds Of Prey is becoming my favorite Rebirth title thus far. The relationship between Babs and Dinah feels just like old times. The first issue follows Batgirl and Black Canary trying to track down someone by the code name "Oracle." It has a nostalgic feeling to it. Picking up Huntress along the way, the Birds Of Prey are back. I can't reccomend this enough. The art is a bit quirky at times, but it really works. Give it a chance. Anyone who is a fan of Batgirl, enjoyed Green Arrow Rebirth, followed Helena in New 52's Grayson, or even new readers, should definitely pick up this volume of Batgirl And The Birds Of Prey. You won't regret it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The story is good, but Amazon sold me a faulty product
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

    The story is fine and no complaints here. But as I was enjoying the story, on one page I noticed that someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to stick a anti-theft sensor sticker on one of the pages. And they also stuck it over some dialogue and after removing the sticker it removed some of the ink and left the pages a little sticky. Why there would even be an anti-theft sensor on this book and who in their right mind would think it would be smart to place it on a regular page and not behind the cover where there isn't anything is beyond me. I've bought a few comics from Amazon and I've never had this happen before. It honestly blows my mind what these people were thinking. Just reaffirms that I should just stick with instocktrades from now on for my comics. Cheaper and better QA.

    3.0 out of 5 stars An okay start...
    Reviewed in Australia on November 11, 2019

    In volume One of Rebirth's Birds of Prey Barbara is hellbent on clearing the name of her former identity Oracle, which has been linked to crimes around town. The premise is decent enough, however there are some issues that weigh down what could of been a good story.
    Issue 0 and 1 were decent before issue 2 contrived ways to bring social commentaries into the story that were not needed. The art is messy, Babs, Canary and Huntress are made to look clumsy and unappealing in just about ever panel.
    It is a shame, because Batgirl is one of my all-time favorite comic book characters...but this does not feel like the same awesome character I grew up loving... this is by no means a heinous comic... yet; when it comes to a character with such rich history, one that has been written by so many talented writers since the 60s, the bar is set very high and seems out of each for this series...

    First thing's first both the the story and art are great but it's the chemistry of the birds of prey that really shines! It gives a lot of back story to each of them without being a hindrance to the main plot. It's just a joy to read and I'm looking forward to the next volume.
