Birds of Prey 1998 - Black Canary and Batgirl





Without any explanation, the fully recovering Oracle as Batgirl fights with Canary against the Mad Hatter's men. It's good opening because it makes the reader curious, who hopes rightful to know the reason in the rest of the booklet.


After disposing the hit men they follow in Mad Hatter's footsteps. During this time Dinah problems about that she does not even know Oracle's name, because she (Oracle) does not trust her (Canary). Meanwhile, it turns out that Mad Hatter prepares to liberate the psychos of Arkham Asylum, and their leader is Joker. So Barbara wakes the memories of the killing joke.


So, let’s go to the Asylum! But it's too late, all the madmen are free. Batgirl is taken prisoner, and under Joker's leadership, they get ​​ready for torture her. So it's flashing the killing joke again.


Then Dinah luckily intervenes, she lures the madmen and sneaks to Barbara. But she is helpless alone, so she asks from Batgirl the address of Batman's Hideout that she will be able to call for help. Batgirl gets it. And then:


It turns out that Dinah is not really Dinah but:


Spellbinder (the second). She makes Barbara believe all that by her telepathic abilities (or what) in a vision. So Barbara is still paralyzed and not Batgirl. Now that she has the info, Spellbinder and her man go to Batman's lair. After their departure Barbara starts escape herself. Meanwhile, Spellbinder finds out that she is given wrong address, so she goes back to the prisoner Barbara, but she is no longer a prisoner.

Finally, it also turns out that Spellbinder's client is no other than:


Blockbuster, the second.
Chuck Dixon's story is fast-paced, interesting, and even the turn is well-functioning, although it is relatively simple, linear. The (once more) new artist, Greg Land is good too, although he noticeably likes to drawn Canary in spreading.
