Birds of Prey v1 024 - The Hostage Heart 03

Conclusion!


The hairy situation is approaching to the end, and Chuck Dixon does not simplify the story, in fact, he complicates it compared to the previous issue also.
It looks that he has listen to me :) It will be lot of action. We left it Deathstroke to start the penetration into Gorilla City.

Dinah is in big trouble because she now needs to take Oracle's computer whiz capabilities. Grodd is already getting suspicious and he threats to kill Lady Vic. Fortunately, Dinah makes them to believe that it is essential the internet for checking of the DNA database. The protective shield system around the city is switched off, so Oracle can do the job instead of Dinah, and even the can identify Gorilla City also. She sends the coordinates to the cavalry which is provided by Blockbuster. But Dinah and Lady Vic are still in trouble, because they want to kill them after finding of the appropriate heart donor (who is none other that Grodd's chief lieutenant).

It is come the girls' turn when Grodd is informed about the intruder. Of course, it immediately slips out from Lady Vic's mouth that this is Deathstroke from. Dinah's comment ("Smooth move Pollyanna") is the best, maybe only one joke of the booklet.

(Why have I praised the progress of Butch Guice in face drawing?)
And now it finally starts the action.
The girls split.

They quickly run into Deathstroke who desperately wants Grodd, so they go with him to the surgery. Grodd just runs away, but if they are already here, they quickly stow the heart which has been operated off, they take it under their arms, and go.

Our breaking out heroes is welcomed by a Butch Cassidyan total fire, but in the best moment, it is appearing the cavalry, Mace.

Mace rescues Black Canary and leaves the rest in the trouble.


Dinah and the gorilla heart are in the way back plane when in Blockbuster's house, the doctors determine the time of death. 

That's it.
See ya.
I have already told the positive comments at the beginning about Chuck Dixon's story, but the finish is pretty any. First, This Deus ex Machina is strongly reminiscent of the last time when Superman intervened. And anyway, what is about the others? What is about Blockbusterrel? What was the point of it all? And so really, it was very inconsistent throughout the three-part story as well. How did they believe Dinah that she was Oracle, since they found Barbara's hideout by the communication between Dinah and Oracle, so they were obviously two different people (and it was pretty clear that Lady Vic fought with Dinah in Hasaragua, so she was not in Gotham). On the other hand, why didn't Dinah come out of the whole deal, man, when she could it after the gorilla raid (since she would settle Blockbuster by it also)? The story itself was quite pale too, and at last issue, Chuck Dixon produced everything as possible. Butch Guice is still very bad. And is still lot of pink (Believe me Shannon, it is not everyone's favorite color).
Mace's plane is driven by his girlfriend, so I’ve labeled her too.
