Birds of Prey by Gail Simone Omnibus Vol. 1 is the team book where Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress become a precise DC machine: strategist, field leader, maverick and found-family support system. Simone's run works because trust is never automatic. Missions, secrets and injuries all test whether these women can rely on each other without becoming interchangeable heroes.

Birds of Prey by Gail Simone Omnibus Vol. 2 continues the Oracle-led team at the point where missions become more personal and the team's trust is tested harder. Simone's strength is the balance between tactics, friendship and damage: Black Canary, Huntress and Oracle are not interchangeable heroes, but women with different instincts forced to rely on each other. The volume belongs under Birds of Prey as a team identity because the chemistry is the selling point.
