Birds of Prey #5

Birds of Prey #5

This series has begun to spin its wheels. With the novelty of the team’s makeup worn off and no effort to really explain just what the hell the Megaera is or what it wants (other than Sin‘s body) there’s not much of note in this issue except for repeated sequences of scenes we’ve already seen before, only less effective the second time around. For example, we get Barda versus Wonder Woman again, except this time Diana is mind-controlled by the Megaera making her a far less imposing threat leading to a different outcome.

The eclectic group features Cassandra Cain, Zealot, Big Barda, and (because I’m guessing someone at DC thought the group needed more star power) Harley Quinn.
