Blood and Circuits is a Treat


Another good Birds of Prey. Why did they have to cancel it?

So, Blood and Circuits has a couple of interesting plot lines:

- Black Canary raising an assassin child named Sin and subsequently quitting the Birds of Prey
-
The Society goes after Lori Zechlin aka Black Alice in the attempt to recruit her, but the BOP interfere
- A strange new Batgirl (not Cassandra or Babs) arriving in Gotham and beating up criminals. She is revealed to be a meta, who changes her codename to Misfit and joins the Birds
- An assassin named Yasmin wanted Huntress's head on a platter
- Oracle recruiting an almost entirely new BOP and then sending them to the Mexican desert to rescue a crime lord's daughter in exchange for his cooperation with the FBI
- An old friend of Babs, Spy Smasher, comes out of nowhere and attempts to take down Oracle, who she knows is Babs.
- Lois Lane meeting up wit Babs and trying to ferret out her secrets (look for the Superman/Lois yumminess!)
- Judomaster and Gypsy are totally out of bounds while Big Barda and the other BOP members are fighting the government.

There is a great ending, with Babs doing something so un-Babs-like.

But you should buy it, shouldn't you?
