Birds Of Prey #8 completes Vixen's fashion show plan just in time for a swarm of symbiotic monsters to attack the Birds of Prey. Oh, and Big Barda gets naked for some reason.
Is Birds Of Prey #8 Good?
Yeah, the issue as a whole is as confused, chaotic, nonsensical, and messy as the description above implies. In a very bad impression of Marvel's Models Inc., Kelly Thompson took this title from uneven to unreadable in the blink of an eye.
When last we left the Birds of Prey (BoP), the gal pals sought the help of Vixen to find out who or what was manipulating Time to kill Barbara Gordon because Meridian's (Maps from the future) tech is somehow tied to the Green while the imperceptible adversary's tech is tied to the Red... or something. To get to the bottom of this situation, Vixen created a plan where the BoP would go undercover as participants in a swimsuit/lingerie fashion show for some inexplicable reason.
Now, the show proceeds as planned. Barbara monitors a strange energy reading she can't pin down during the show when suddenly, the male models collectively referred to as "the beefcake" leap to the attack under some form of mind control... maybe. Barda tears off her bikini because she thinks it has something to do with mind control. Vixen tears off the banana hammock of one "the beefcake," and the fabric oozes into the form of a symbiote-type monster. Chaos ensues.
Eventually, Black Canary blows away the gooey demons just before Batgirl (Barbara) shows up. With high fives all around, and the playful promise of where to go for Lunch, an energy portal opens in the middle of the room and sucks Barabara in. The rest of the BoP follows.
What's great about Birds Of Prey #8? Pina and Lopez's art is an improvement over Romero's, which is a relief since this issue is fairly action-heavy, and Romero's style doesn't lend itself to high-energy movement.
What's not so great about Birds Of Prey #8? The entire plot, if you could even call it that, is a series of disconnected developments that don't make sense or fit together in any coherent way. In a brief bit of self-awareness, even the BoP admits nothing makes sense. If Thompson's goal was to create a story that's nothing but confused noise, mission accomplished. However, confusing noise is the exact opposite of well-written, entertaining storytelling.

Bits and Pieces:
Birds Of Prey #8 is a confused, chaotic mess of a comic from beginning to end. Even the Birds Of Prey don't know what they're doing, why they're in this situation, or what's happening. I predicted the BoP was not in capable hands, and unfortunately, that prediction has come true.
3/10
Well said. This series has just gotten worse from a writing standpoint.

ReplyDeleteI’m happy I reached out to XAP Credit Solution and I never had any regret. I needed help with the National Credit Systems, they gave me a letter saying I’m going to pay them off and this is what we agreed to settle on and yet no good response from them. I cried for help because they are rude and I can’t get another apartment because of these people while they keep talking about a lawsuit with me and everything I needed to be helped with. This kept me worried until I came through a forum where someone mentioned XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL..COM and how they help with all kinds of credit repair services; I contacted them and explained all my problems; he started with clearing negative reports and late payments before bypassing my credit, both mortgage and all inquiries have been wiped off and I’m proud to have a credit score of 796 across the 3 credit bureaus. Contact the above email if you need help fixing your credit report.
ReplyDeleteHack West Credit Repair is way faster than other companies & they accomplish in 30-45 days what other companies purposely drag out ton up to 2 years! Kinda ridiculous? So here is the story ...before I decided to choose a Credit Repair Company, I decided on 3 potential companies. I won't use the 2 other company names out of respect for the employees that work there. Two were local and 1 was a national company that kept popping up on the internet & I heard on the radio a million times. I called the national company 1st cause their website and marketing looked & sounded great. I came to find out that the national company only challenges 3 to 5 items monthly & that means it would take nearly 2 years to do what the local places accomplish in 45 days...I was a bit miffed about that cause the national company NEVER told me this. So the difference between the 2 local companies was important in how they charge...1 local company had a suspect pay for delete plan that charged $75 per item deleted, so for every ten items it would be $750 dollars! Basically they would bill me in 45 days & if I don't pay them then their paperwork said they would send me to COLLECTIONS!!! I would totally avoid any Pay for Delete Credit Repair because I felt they were setting me up for a huge bill & then to have the nerve to send me to collections. Finally, I chose Hack West Credit Repair because they have 2 Credit Plan choices and they are flexible enough. Also HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM plans can CANCEL ANYTIME easily by messaging them through the email they provide. Texas Best also was the ONLY company to offer a 100 Point Money Back Guarantee & a 6 Month Free Guarantee! What else have I not told you? They fixed my report and added over 3 tradelines to my report. I was able to access a loan of over $66,890 with a low interest rate after fixing my credit score. All thanks to Hack West.
