Zinda Blake is on a mission to bring some sort of final justice to Killer Shark, who is carrying out the legacy his grandfather started, which is quite horrific.  Also, Black Alice is in town.  Is it room for both she and Misfit?  Yes.  A whole-hearted yes.   Write to us at wrightonnetwork@gmail.com

The Black Canary and Lady Shiva are still doing the Freaky Friday/Hero Swap as Dinah is across the world, walking in the steps that was once Shiva's.  And in Gotham, Shiva and the gang are trying to track down the medical doctor who has the health records of many super criminals.  Oh, forgot to mentioned this shady doctor has been kidnapped by Prometheus.  The Prometheus who took down the Justice League in Grant Morrison's JLA.  Plot thickens.  

The crew, Laurel, Ashford, and Mark, discuss the fast romp/Black Canary ascension of the 2nd installment of Progeny by Gail Simone.  H.I.V.E. is after the Birds of Prey and over on the other side of the world, Black Canary is living in Lady Shiva's shoes, and they hurt like hell.  One Year Later, but the threat is right now! e-mail us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com or on Twitter @feathersandfoes.  www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork.com www.wrightonnetwork.com  

365 days later, the Birds of Prey returns, well...sort of.  Yes, the Oracle, Zinda, and the Huntress are busy in Gotham, but Black Canary is across the globe. Now don't worry, the Jade Canary is filling in for her.  Now, I should mention the Jade Canary is Lady Shiva.  Yep, she's substituting for Dinah while she is being...initiated???  

Harley Quinn lost her woman, her family, and perhaps, her mind?  Returning to Gotham to confront those who destroyed her home/business and family.  But as you might imagine, things don't go as plan.  

The gang at Feathers and Foes discussed this one shot issue by guest writer Jim Alexander as well Jimmy Palmiotti on inks and Bradley Walker on pencils.  Huntress is trying to be the best Bird she can be, yet Oracle is not straight up with her concerning this mission.  Twists and Turns are throughout this issue.  Write to us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com  

This Birds of Prey special is so...special, 32 pages just wasn't enough.  Heck, 80 pages wasn't enough, so DC decided to go with a smooth 100.  A good mix of stories, featuring Black Canary, Huntress, Barbara Gordon, and Harley Freakin' Quinn.  For 4.99 one can't go wrong.  Go pick this up and read every story.  So worth it.  Contact us at www.wrightonnetwork.com or feathersandfoes@gmail.com Oh, and of course, we are on Twitter @feathersandfoes    And...we are on Spotify! 

The Perfect Pitch saga comes to an end with Death Stroke coming on the scene to play the end game to Calculator's plans.  In addition, Batman is trying to put an end to Huntress's operation in bringing down the mob.  Will The Oracle acquiesce to Batman's demands distrust Helena Bertinelli?  Write to us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com

The Birds may be meeting their match in this third part of the saga! 

Mark and Ashford discuss part two of the story arc, Perfect Pitch by Gail Simone.  Black Canary is reconciling any prior bad blood, Barbara Gordon is anticipating a new lease on life, and Helena Bertinelli is seeking her birthright, reaching Capo status.   Find other episodes of Feathers and Foes: A Birds of Prey Podcast at www.wrightonnetwork.com Write to us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com or Twitter @featherfoes.

Oh boy.  The Game is On, indeed.  The Calculator can not rest till he discovers who this Oracle character is...and when he does rest, he dreams of capturing the Oracle.   Helena Bertinelli is going deep undercover, setting up best laid plans by making herself a Capo, which can have her take down organized crime from the inside. And Black Canary is working on herself, being in the moment with her team, while looking forward, apprehensively, to resolve some loose ends with a prior relationship. Give us a listen.  Write to us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com or on Twitter @feathersandfoes  

Gail Simone pieces together what seems like 3 vignettes, but the separate narratives are actually part of the same story, following our favorite heroes in comics, Oracle, Black Canary, The Huntress, and Zinda, Lady Black Hawk.  Moving to a new city, settling scores, and introducing themselves are much harder than what any of them imagine.  To new Beginnings!  Cheers!  

The long story arc of Barbara Gordon being infected by the Braniac "virus" has come to its conclusion, thankfully.  And a showdown in Gotham.  Yep, Black Canary has called in Wild Cat, Savant, Creote, Connor Hawke, Richard Dragon, and...The HUNTRESS!  Will they be able to defeat the famed martial arts Bros. and stop a drug shipment into Gotham?  Tune in as Ashford, Mark, and Laurel discuss issue 85, volume 1.  

Helena has left the Birds of Prey to be her own point person, only to discover that the Oracle had been working the angle the whole time.  And Barbara Gordon is also trying to make things right by smoothing things out with Helena before dealing with a major life choice regarding her health.  Oh, Dinah has to recruit a small army to take on "The Brothers".  Please e-mail us feathersandfoes@gmail.com
