Birds of Prey v1 009 - Saving Private Dinah 01

Girls Rules.

Again, it begins a three-part miniseries.

It opens with a usual action scene, Dinah stands in Ring of the elite commandos of Koroscovan (some ex-Soviet dictatorship). And then, first time in the Birds of Prey series, she uses her lost super ability, the canary cry against them. Of course, since her super ability is lost, she can make the deafening sound but she uses a neat little sound grenade.

Then, after an extensive helicopter pursuit, she continues her way by Oracle's management towards a secret military base, from which she ought to free a prisoner. Meantime of course, Oracle is chatting again with the mysterious Beeb, who is named Bumblebeeb now (but he or she is the same, moreover they pretend her or him to have been called such ever). Dinah is exposing her opinion that a twelve year old boy with braces stands behind the nickname, and she already reaches to the base. Oracle hacks a top-secret U.S. satellite (Major Van Lewton is mad of course) and she strikes the base by the laser weapon of the satellite. Dinah conceals her eyes so that she won't go blind by the explosion and she immediately remembers Jason Bard, Oracle's ex-fiancé, who was blinded to save her (in the Hellhound). Canary has to settle only the remaining living security guards (by some spreading):

And finally she releases the prisoner, who looks like a mad scientist, moreover, he insists to release another prisoner. Dinah is reluctant to do it, but that is the size of it, so they go. The other prisoner is locked up in something special glass container and no other comes out of it...

Chuck Dixon's story moves in a straight line from the initial action scene through further action scenes to the final cliffhanger. The simple story is spiced by Oracle's usually secondary threads, (Bumble)Beeb and Van Lewton and that they always discuss some girly theme (at least it is supposed girly by Chuck Dixon) during the action. Greg Land's drawings are much flatter than usually.
