This blog is dedicated to the greatest all-female team in the history of comics, DC's Birds of Prey! Since it first appeared as a relatively unofficial short story buried in a DC showcase, the team's propularity and roster has grown.
Led by information and computer specialist Oracle (Barbara Gordon, formerly Batgirl), the field team has boasted a number of agents, most notably Black Canary, Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, Manhunter, Misfit and Big Barda, among many others (with plenty of appearances from other heroes). As the team returns to the spotlight, let's focus on all the great times this series has given us!
Note: Submissions will be accepted freely, but as far as possible the appearance of the Birds in other comics separate from BOP activity (e.g., Black Canary in the Justice League) should be avoided. Pin-ups are, of course, allowed. This is a guideline rather than a rule, but it would be better to dedicate this blog to the actual Birds of Prey outfit.
DC Women Kicking Ass: "Superhero Diaries: Black Canary" from Craveonline - It's supposed to funny!
I read all the comics sites on a regular basis but I tend to forget about CraveOnline. And then one day I’ll remember it and pop on there for a look. And today I found this. It is purportedly Black Canary’s diary recounting the plots of Birds of Prey issues 1 and 2. Excuse me, WTF? Written by…
Wow. I don’t like to pick on writers, but man, that was really, really, really not funny. What a big lump of boring!I’ve seen this before. Birds has women in it, and so of course, it’s JUST LIKE SEX IN THE CITY, a show I watched once and hated.
I have to shake my head. I’m sure the guy means well, but man, it’s a dumb point made badly and the humor collapses like a lead balloon.
I’m not offended as a woman, I’m offended as someone who writes comedy.
I wish I could say this in a more classy manner, but for once I can’t find anything more appropriate than to say I’m trying not to vomit after reading that.
