Dinah Lance — Black Canary — is one of the DCU’s most elite fighters. But even she can’t face everything alone. On a personal mission against near-impossible odds, Black Canary is assembling a new Birds of Prey team designed to make criminals cower on sight. This new roster consists of Black Canary, Big Barda, Zealot, Harley Quinn, and Cassandra Cain, aka Batgirl. Their mission is simple: Extraction without bloodshed. But simple doesn’t necessarily mean easy. Birds of Prey #1, written by Kelly Thompson with art by Leonardo Romero, colors by Jordie Bellaire, and letters by Clayton Cowles, is a propulsive, face-breaking, pulse-pounding reformation for the Birds of Prey.This first issue has a super simple premise, focusing on Dinah assembling her team. Black Canary has a very specific mission and needs to bring together the perfect roster of badass women to get the job done. The resulting story brings readers through a series of character introductions and action sequences that bring each character into the fold. The banter between team members and the fluid action are the real highlights of this first issue. It’s all about nailing the vibes inherent to those unexpected team dynamics. The groundwork is laid for the larger story arc with a couple of killer cliffhangers. There’s also a rock-solid emotional core that grounds the story, all gelling together to make a stand-out introduction.Thompson strikes gold with the elevator pitch for this series. It’s all about an extremely capable group of women coming together to save another woman in trouble. It’s a straightforward concept, but the cast of characters brings this book to life. Thompson nails the introduction and voices for each of Canary’s teammates. Readers are made instantly aware of the capabilities of each member in combat. The script also highlights many of their key personality traits. It is slightly odd to see Dinah refer to Sin as a sister when Dinah’s relationship with her has historically been more maternal. That said, the emotional core baked into the series — highlighting how nothing is more important than a sisterly bond — is wonderfully conveyed.RELATED: Birds of Prey Writer Teases Wonder Woman Appearance
