DC Comics' Brightest Day event series has brought back a bunch of characters from the dead, and it also has resurrected one of the company's more popular titles in recent years.
Birds of Prey relaunches on Wednesday, with the returning creative team of writer Gail Simone and Brazilian artist Ed Benes. Also back is the core group of old — Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress — teamed now with the aviator Lady Blackhawk and the twosome of the formerly dead Hawk and female Dove.
Originally written by Chuck Dixon when Birds debuted in 1999 (and turned into a short-lived TV series on The WB in 2002), the comic came into its own from 2003 to 2007 when Simone took over writing chores. The original series ended a year ago, but Simone had felt fans clamoring for a reboot.
"The response was astounding, almost like a little cult wave of grief from the audience," Simone says. "I never go back to a book once I have left it — it always feels a little like returning to the hometown you left behind — but it was pointed out to me that the book's disappearance left a real hole in the DC lineup, one that was not easily filled by other books."
