Angus investigates the circumstances surrounding the plans of Oracle to fake her own death.  This is in celebration of Birds of Prey being the Comic Book Characters of the Month for January.  They would inspire a live action TV show, appearances in animated shows and next month will debut on the big screen with Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).  The selection reviewed in this episode is the Death Of Oracle story arc from:

Birds of Prey (2010-2011) Vol. 2: Death of Oracle

Oracle, Black Canary, Lady Blackhawk, Huntress and Dove: A collection of the world's most notable heroines, and one of the DC Universe's most impressive superteams. In an effort to conceal her identity from the world at large, the data specialist Oracle plans to fake her own death, but we all know what happens to the best-laid plans of mice and women...When her evil, scheming mirror image, the Calculator, hires a team of superpowered heavies to take out his nemesis, Oracle's plan puts her teammates right in the line of fire. Has the world's premier infojack completely lost control, or is it part of her master plan? Only the Oracle knows for sure.

Angus discovers the comic book that started it all for DC's all female superhero team Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey #1 in celebration of Birds of Prey being the Comic Book Characters of the Month for January. This dynamic pairing would spark one of the most successful runs of an all female team for DC and expand its readership in the process.  They would inspire a live action TV show, appearances in animated shows and next month will debut on the big screen with Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).  The selection reviewed in this episode is:

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey #1

The Birds of Prey legacy took flight right here in a one-shot issue pitting Oracle and Black Canary against an international crime ring that neither could have taken down on her own. But when they combine their efforts, these two super-stars of the DCU create one rip-roaring adventure!
