Comic book week: June 8th, 2011





Kara's comic this week is "Hostile Takeover Part 2 of 2............No Sentence Shall Be Commuted".............& if you have read my blog from last week...................& if you have not you have made me sad :'(............ ;b.....................then you shall be well aware that the wonder ful & talented Ms. Gail Simone is departing the Birds of Prey & this is her last issue................so I only have 1 more opportunity to say how much I ♥ this comic book!!!!!!

This book is the continuation of the story started in the last issue where the ladies of the birds go under cover & run in to the horrible & the wonderfully terrifying Alex Merkell or Junior as she calls her self.

Sadly there is not much to say about this story as it seems to wrap up very neatlie very quicklie! It makes me wonder how short the creators were given notice that they were not returning! The art work is fine but seems rushed as does the story.............but the rushed Ms. Simone is still better than most!

What leads me to wonder about the end of the story especially is this reply by the editor team of Janelle Asselin & Katie Kubert to a letter at the end....................p.s. please please please please DC keep your letter columns!..................: "Look for upcoming issues to continue zeroing in on the specific personalities and quirks of the individual members as Gail and the team build the BOP corner of the DCU!" `;o

This comic book was bitter sweet for me but since it is the end of the series............except for 2 fill in issues by the fabulous Marc Andreyko & Billy Tucci.............& you will not be able to read the same story again next month then I would like to give the perfect Birds of Prey series............including Gail & Oracle.............. a ♥ felt...............

RATING: 10 tears out of 10!

To end this week I would like to make a request of DC if at all possible...............a new Huntress & Question series in October? Prettie please with sugar on top? & here is a drawing of Helena that the Velvet Cyclone has asked me to post since he was not happie with the Oracle picture that I posted last week! ;b
