Damnit Gail stop making it so hard to hate your work!

[biznizzonpeyote]

What don't you like about it? Please keep in mind that I haven't read and BoP since before this relaunch, so I'm not too familiar with Creote or Savant...

[shadowpsykie]

*Slap!*
OHMYGODIMSOSORRY!

thats my natural reaction to Gail hate.....

LOL

all seriousness though, what don't you liek about her work? she's always been awesome

[mullon]

I give them three years.

Two-Face. Heh.

[thanekos]

I'm reminded of that line from that one story, something like..

" So how's your daughter, Jim? "

which sets Jim off something fierce

[ghosty732]

I have to say, there was the opportunity for a cheesecakey pose when she was leaning over the edge, but it was all drawn rather tastefully.

[cythraul]

There're a couple of fairly cheesecaky panels when she first vaults out of the chair after him, which the OP has omitted.

[neev]

Tonight the part of Barbara Gordon will be played by Mary Jane Watson!

...Also Savant is so, so pretty. *_*

[darkblade]

"It's still better than OMIT."

[brain_floss]

What the hell is going on with Creote's bangs? They kept appearing & missing, in strands, as a long unibang, short middle parted, etc....

[jlbarnett]

it's windy and rainy and they're blowing in his face, but sometimes the pic catches him just after he brushed them out of his face.

[jlbarnett]

I think lacking an ability to conceptulaize time would impair being a conman. Part of cons is building trust. That takes time. You act like you're old friends with a guy you met ten minutes ago, it's noticably weird.

[flint_marko]

Was he a conman? I thought he was just a hacker.

[shanejayell]

AWWWW.

DAMN Gail. Good work.

[blackruzsa]

I literally started shouting "FINALLY" over and over. Thank god no one else heard me xD "He made me promise", OH GOD, it's Saya and Haji all over again.

I'm pretty sure everyone's been going all, "Gail Simone, you rock suck rock" everytime she makes things so twisted.

..... on another note, what is up with Barb's eyes?

[perletwo]

All the girls seem to have puffyface this issue. Huntress has a particularly bad case of it as well.

[jarodrussell]

On the ground, begging for help. Yeah, that seems an appropriate position for Barbie Dull. I suppose now that she's not hacking or masterminding, Oracle can fall back on histrionics to get by on.

[20thcenturyvole]

... I really don't think it counts as 'histrionics' when she's on the ground begging for help with not letting a guy fall to his death, and it's only because she is physically incapable of getting the leverage to haul him back up.

I know, I know, haters gonna hate.

[big_daddy_d]

Sooo..they're not dead and their heel turn has now been halted..so..anything else we gotta worry about in this arc because from what I'm gathering, things ended up pretty good.

And seriously, about time someone told Savant. If Creote was just gonna continue being a silent statue about his feelings like a high school kid pining for the girl across the yard from him, then someone had to do it.

[cythraul]

I don't know these characters prior to these four issues. Is it specifically eros, and not agape?

[glprime]

Damn them's some pouty lips (not necessarily complaining).

[lieut_kettch]

Oh finally, the big reveal! Do they make out in the next panel? While Babs watches and furiously pounds out yaoi fanfic on her keyboard?

[magus_69]

Or gives out suggestions?

[janegray]

I don't follow Birds of Prey because I never follow Team Books (the one and only exception is Young Avengers), so I can't really comment on the story (I really liked this scene, but I don't know the wider context).

But I can comment on the colouring. It's wonderful. I especially love Barbara's hair, such a pretty shade of red.

[shadowpsykie]

you should seriously conscider picking this team book up. seriously.

[requiem2adream]

Seriously, can we get a new artist already?

I am not a fan of Benes' work.

Other than that? Good show, Gail. I knew I could trust you not to fuck us over ♥

[innerbrat]

Most of the Babs-Savant/Creote scene was drawn by Adriana Melo, who I didn't know before she came on to Birds, and.. let's just say she has a lot of room for improvement.

[promethea4]

Overall I love this.

But a couple of panels of Babs lips, nails, and in that second panel . . . her face, are bothersome. Perhaps all the BOPers are a bit bloated this issue?

[chasesstarlight]

Oh god, I'm so conflicted. I love the writing here so much, but the ART. With the same face on all the girls and the cheesecake and the creepy puffy lips.

[alienist]

Okay, I like what she did with Savant and Creote.

But I kind of care more about, you know, Barbara. And frankly? I'm disappointed. Again.

[schmevil]

I don't like this art.

[superfangirl1]

The art really great.

[karthzon.livejournal.com]

LOL @the juxtaposition of the last two posts.
