comic reviews for last week: Birds Of Prey #118


This was the first birds of prey issue i read since getting back to comics and let me tell you it was very worth it. The story was great along with the artwork had gotten me to go back and read more Birds Of Prey issues.

#118 starts off with this club referred to as "the Dark Side Club" this club is sort of a female fight club for super powered women and the reigning champion is Misfit. after wining her battle Misfit trys to get free but is put down by by granny then is taken to her holding cell where she finds Black Alice. Misfit Explains on how she was captured and brought to this place where she is drugged( some sort of mind control drug) into fighting others and her powers only work in the arena. Alice asks Misfit if she can port them both out of there but before Misfit can explain why she can't teleport two people at once Alice "Browes" Misfit's powers. trying to find a way out Alice stumbles upon a conversation in which is stated that test ran on Misfit and Alice shows that they are related. the Alice is caught and drugged into fighting Misfit. Misfit drugged up as well starts the Battle off taking it to Black Alice. Alice being strong trying to resist the drug draws out the power of the demon Etrigan and turns the tide of the battle but before she could finish the battle she remembers what she overheard about them being related snaps back to reality and stops the battle. Granny again trys to drug Alice into Killing Misfit but Alice again borrowing the powers of misfit teleports granny and her self outside where she finds of first hand why Misfit cant teleport two people at once. the other whom ports with her gets killed Misfit then teleports outside. Alice explains to Misfit how she felt during their battle and hands her a note and tells her to head back to Oracle as she runs off into the night. back at platinum heights Misfit reads the letter that explains what she overheard back at the dark side club....... continued next month.
