escritoireazulSo. Birds of Prey. I'm a fan. I just read "Between Dark & Dawn" and I kind of want to write fic. Next up is "Blood and Circuits" and I'm really excited that the library branch I use most often has a decent collection of graphic novels, because this is joy and good things.
I really, really love Vixen, and based on the character line-up at the front of this one, I think I'm going to like Big Barda and Gypsy.
I'll have to buy these and read them all in order some day.
Fic recs, anyone?

Date: 2009-03-17 04:09 am (UTC)Were you looking for recs with specific characters? As far as I know, Vixen, Barda, and Gypsy aren't prominent enough to have produced much fic in that verse. There's a good deal of Dinah/Babs fic, and some with other minor femslash pairings.
Finally, an excuse to use my Barda icon.
Date: 2009-03-17 09:03 pm (UTC)I can't think of any recs off the top of my head, but I've got a redonk amount of fics in my memories that I'm sort of parsing currently. I actually just reread all of my BoP trades and have been desperately trying to find some Babs/Zinda, just because Zinda strikes me as so very "If you're the captain I'll be the crew, because I just love taking orders from you".
But yes, the market is pretty heavily saturated with Babs/Dinah, which rocks me because they are my OTP. But it does get a bit boring. Sometimes you'll get Helena/Babs and/sometimes or Dinah, but those are few and far between.
And Barda Barda yes! I can go on about her but I won't, suffice to say that she and Knockout (who makes an appearance in BoP with her also awesome girlfriend trufax) and Grace (who is from Outsiders and makes a wee cameo in some of the recent-ish BoP comics) form my trifecta of Hot Chicks What Could Kick My Ass and Make Me Love It.
I'm going to cut my comment short until I actually have some content to share, and also because I don't want to babble your ear off about stuff that is probably not relevant to your interests, since I don't know what other comics you're reading. If you aren't reading Secret Six/Villains United and the new Outsiders though, I can't recommend them enough. Especially SS/VU, because it's good pretty much straight through the minis, while Outsiders sometimes drags or just goes straight into the wtf zone (John Walsh makes a cameo. Yeah, that's right. America's Most Wanted comes in for a whole arc. And the arc is kinda shitty too).
That was totally me cutting my comment short.
