I loved this book. Cover to cover. I loved the story. I loved the art. I loved everything about it. Rebirth Birds of Prey is so much better than New 52 Birds of Prey, I can't even tell you. And I'm not quite sure, but reading this makes me think that New 52 Birds of Prey has been retconned out of existence. It builds more on pre-Flashpoint BoP than anything else. But it's not pre-Flashpoint.
Anyway, Batgirl and Black Canary are together again and they're trying to track down and figure out who usurped Batgirl's old Oracle identity. It also brings into the mix The Huntress, fresh from her run in Grayson. And not only is BoP building on the foundation laid down by the pre-Flashpoint BoP, the Huntress has her roots in the origin of the pre-Flashpoint Huntress. It's a fun story to read, it's great watching the dynamic between all three main characters, and it's fucking awesome watching them burn up the streets on their motorcycles.
I really, really, really, really can't recommend this book enough.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this in my Justice League post, but Yannick Paquette has turned in some of the best covers of his career with this book. He did the variant covers for JL, but the main covers for this book. They're all amazingly beautiful, at least to me.
