As well as another yet-to-be-named mini.

"Oracle" will is a tie-in to the Battle For the Cowl event in '09 and Issue #1 hits the stands in March.

Check it out here.

Oh, I am even more already going to absolutely get this.

Shame they had to cancel Birds of Prey to get this mini rolling. That's my favourite DC ongoing title.

I need to pick up some Birds of Prey TPB's. I hear alot of people saying this and Nightwing have a lot of good story arcs in their respective series.

I never buy DC... this looks promising however.

BOP and Nightwing have amassed almost 300 issues together and i have to say they have always been solid.
I have always rated them both higher than most Bat & Detective runs since they both started.

Chuck Dixon will be missed now it looks he wont be back at all.
His eralier issues were the bollox and Robin was better than the two core titles whilst he was writing it.

Lets hope the new Oracle series keeps with the character that DC have lovingly grown and somehow managed to build on correctly over the last 15 years.

Good read. And Tony Bedard gets a mention as well.

I picked up the first issue today and it was a great read. Vanhook seems to have a good feel for the Oracle character and the art by Julian Lopez is great.

Let me know what you think.

Picked up Oracle #1 and really enjoyed it. The dashes of humor, but big ol' heaping doses of why I like his work so much: determined protagonists who aren't heroes because they're unflagging in their crusades, but because they're able to overcome their doubts and prevail. Add in a dose of redemption/atonement and he had me at hello.

I didn't know about DC's Wendy and Marvin, but it's good to see that even a villain like Calculator, can have some emotional moments.

I haven't purchased a Babs tale since the Dixon-penned, Nightwing-starring issue of BoP. I thought KV did a great job bringing me up to speed with who the character is and what drives her. I'm along for the ride and, hopefully, for the collected edition.

Nice job, as usual, Mr. VanHook.

I enjoyed issue #1 too.

I love the cover to issue #2 too!

Well done all around, this is a new level of badness for the Calculator. He was always a bit harmless in the past.

Thanks guys-- Yeah, Guillem's covers rock. I'd love to see him do a whole book.
