Oh boy. The Game is On, indeed. The Calculator can not rest till he discovers who this Oracle character is...and when he does rest, he dreams of capturing the Oracle.

Helena Bertinelli is going deep undercover, setting up best laid plans by making herself a Capo, which can have her take down organized crime from the inside.

And Black Canary is working on herself, being in the moment with her team, while looking forward, apprehensively, to resolve some loose ends with a prior relationship.

Gail Simone pieces together what seems like 3 vignettes, but the separate narratives are actually part of the same story, following our favorite heroes in comics, Oracle, Black Canary, The Huntress, and Zinda, Lady Black Hawk. Moving to a new city, settling scores, and introducing themselves are much harder than what any of them imagine. To new Beginnings! Cheers!

The long story arc of Barbara Gordon being infected by the Braniac "virus" has come to its conclusion, thankfully. And a showdown in Gotham. Yep, Black Canary has called in Wild Cat, Savant, Creote, Connor Hawke, Richard Dragon, and...The HUNTRESS! Will they be able to defeat the famed martial arts Bros. and stop a drug shipment into Gotham? Tune in as Ashford, Mark, and Laurel discuss issue 85, volume 1.

Helena has left the Birds of Prey to be her own point person, only to discover that the Oracle had been working the angle the whole time. And Barbara Gordon is also trying to make things right by smoothing things out with Helena before dealing with a major life choice regarding her health. Oh, Dinah has to recruit a small army to take on "The Brothers". Please e-mail us [email protected]

Oracle is going haywire, Black Canary and Ted are on the run, and the Huntress's plot is like a Martin Scorcese movie...what's not to like about this OMAC tie-in?

Black Canary and Wildcat are across the sea, proving their worth, while still poised with style and grace at every turn. And Helena resurfaces to claim her birthright at the table within the crime family community. Over in the Clock Tower, Zinda is witness the boss fall ill to a mystery unknown.

The Cat and the Canary, together again in issue 81, where The Birds of Prey go international! And where is Helena Bertinelli you might ask? Claiming her birthright...in the Mafia!

We are at the end of the Birds hunting down those vigilantes whom may have crossed the line are getting darn near close. Also, revelations are made that may tear the Birds apart. Gail Simone brings a shocking conclusion to this five part story arc. Who will be left on the other side of this?

Before the action begins, Black Canary meets with the Batman, imploring him to drop the jerk routine and make things right with Oracle, and to lay off of Huntress, who is in a good place right now and does not need his manipulation routines.

Oh, and Rose/Thorn is running a muck in Metropolis, which the birds would like to put an end to immediately. Will the Birds of Prey return to Metropolis? Will Huntress continue to attend church services? And will the Oracle tell anyone about her Matrix visits?
