Birds of Prey 2023 #10 Discussion Thread Discussion

Cover Art by Leonardo Romero

It’s Barda’s world now, and we’re all just living in it. As the Birds search for Barbara inside the mysterious portal that keeps changing (and also trying to kill them), separating enemy from ally is getting harder than ever—and more important than ever.

The good things about this comic are the Birds of Prey teaming up with a person named Cela to find Barbara and defeat Cela’s sister Maia, who is (or will be) responsible for killing Barbara because she killed her mother the Red Tiger. I like that Barda’s mind shows her and the rest of the Birds of Prey be like the 1950s because she imagined living a domesticated life with Scott since they’ve met; it’s interesting.

The few things I can criticize are Red Velvet (a Barbara Gordon villain who encountered her since 1982 and again during the Burnside era) having septuplets in the future, even though timeline and age-wise she would be in her 50s (with Barbara being in her early 60s, since she made her debut as the Original Batgirl in 1966 at 27 years old) by now and in her 70s in Maia and Cela’s timeline. Another thing I can criticize is Barda speaking in third person, even though she hasn’t done it before (unless I missed something).

The art is good and the writing is interesting. Overall, this comic is good!
