Birds Of Prey #10 enters the next pocket dimension containing all the answers to their recent troubles, including the mystery behind the time traveler gunning for Barbara Gordon.
Is Birds Of Prey #10 Good?
Oy! File this issue under “the one that explains it all.” On the plus side, an exposition-heavy issue is badly needed to make sense of Kelly Thompson’s nonsensical plot. On the negative side, the explanation is both overly detailed in its complication and unsatisfying.
When last we left the Birds of Prey in issue #9, the team narrowly escaped a pocket dimension that housed a darker and more demonic version of Gotham City. Meanwhile, Meridian (Maps from the Future) reached out to Zealot for help to find out why the portal that took her friends rejected her.
In Birds Of Prey #10, the gang finds themselves in a new pocket dimension (or is it?) after leaping through the portal at the end of the last issue. This time, Barbara is nowhere to be found. As the team surveys their strangely suburban, mid-century town, Barda is suddenly struck by a bolt of black goo from the portal they just left.
After a quick recovery, the team is confronted by a pink-haired girl boss holding a huge gun and accompanied by a wolf. The girl boss tells everyone to duck as she sprays automatic fire at the monster trying to follow the team through the portal, causing it to close.
Girl Boss’s name is Cela, and she explains that the BoP is not traversing different pocket dimensions but that the same dimension reskins itself into a representation of the thoughts of whoever enters the next portal first. This time, Barda is the lucky contestant, so the 1950s aesthetic suits Barda’s mind and personality. Why? It doesn’t matter.
