Some thoughts about Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth #1

Who is Oracle now?

Barbara Gordon is trying to protect the city as Batgirl as usual but once that someone starts using her old codename to contact with criminal she will have to get the old team together to find who that person is.

As far as Rebirth books go, I think this gets the job done.

Julie Benson and Shawna Benson create a story that properly reincorporates the time of Barbara Gordon as Oracle and they do it in a way that makes sense by pretty much using the Chuck Dixon era of the title by focusing on the collaboration and history between Barbara and Dinah.

The writing itself is solid enough with the portrayals being accurate and a lot of the characters' backgrounds being referenced including the typical Barbara's phase in a wheelchair and even more recent events like Dinah's band. Huntress is immediately added into the cast and while her inclusion is a bit clumsy at times, she still presents surprises.

The narration is kinda predictable with lots of narration boxes at the beginning that don't offer anything new but the dialogue works in a natural manner. The mystery is just being set-up obviously.

Claire Roe handles the artwork and is a bit rough to be honest, it doesn't look terrible but her characters don't look appealing enough, the style might grow up on me with time though.

Competent enough as a whole to be invested in it at least.
