Oracle disbands the birds and goes off on her own.
Good, but...I know Oracle is techie but this is a little too techie to make the plot move forward. It's a slow start, and way too quick an end. Disturbing without enough resolution to balance the otherwise-good premise.
Not as good as the Birds of Prey I have read. I didn't mind Oracle, and I liked her back story - in fact, I mostly enjoyed the plot - but I found the art... less convincing? Perhaps more distracting from the dialogue? It just didn't work for me, anyway. Also it felt like Oracle got a little whiny at a couple of points; there are ways of having a character reflect on their disability that reflect the fact they're an adult dealing with it, without sounding like they're wallowing in self-pity... an...
I must admit that I don't see the purpose for the hate towards this volume. To me, it was awesome seeing Barbara Gordon (pre-reboot when she was the disabled and older in her late 20's hacker extraordinaire Oracle) really use her smarts to outdo bad guys.The essential story is that Wendy and Marvin (a nod to the Wonder Twins) were attacked by their Wonder Dog that was some monster, and brutally mauled. Marvin died but Wendy survived and is in a coma. Their father, a man going by the name of the
Definitely a post-Gail Simone Oracle book and it shows. It's not terrible, but between the weird sexualization of Oracle's character (lots of sprawled helpless drawings with shirt open and/or askew), the protagonist angsting about whether it would have been better had The Joker killed her, and writing that tries hard but isn't up to the Simone standard, it doesn't make for a very satisfying read.
muy por debajo de la calidad de BoP, un arco argumental que tendria que estar relacionado de alguna manera con BftC y nada es mas alejado, la historias es intrasendente a lo que la saga requiere y no posee ninguna rellevancia inmediata, las portadas son exelentes pero el arte interior es por momentos bueno y por momentos mediocre.
I thought the concept for this and the art were awesome. I think it just needed to be longer honestly. Still a very fun read.
Some really good artwork for sure, but the story just doesn't work for me, I'm afraid. Too technical and I just can't get into those stories where the Virtual world crosses into the Real world etc. And causes peoples heads to explode.
In the spirit of my totally out-of-order Batgirl kick, I'm now reading the book where Barbara finds her cure (well, the thing that will lead to her cure). I'm reading it directly after The Killing Joke, which is where she got paralyzed in the first place... totally skipping the whole time she spent as Oracle running the Birds of Prey.This one didn't impress me much. It's just like, hey! It's time to cure Barbara, let's come up with some crazy device that can magically be adapted to do that. *shr...
A solid story with inconsistent art. It's interesting to see a paraplegic character sexualized the way Barbara Gordon is in this run and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Oracle: The Cure collects the last two issues of the 2003 Birds of Prey series (Birds of Prey #126–127) and the three-issue miniseries – Oracle: The Cure.Oracle: The Cure trade paperback is a hodgepodge of a collection, compiling the three issues of the title story with the final two issues of the original Birds of Prey series – one of which was turned over to Oracle's villainous analogue, the Calculator for the Faces of Evil event.Oracle: The Cure is a deceptive title for the three-issue minise...
DC's information broker, and former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon takes on her evil counterpart Calculator. Overall, a mishmash of storylines from the Batte for the Cowl and Final Crisis that feel like it was forced into one volume. Anyone else tired of hearing how great Babs was as Batgirl in a book that based on her Oracle persona?
I like the dive into Barbara's psyche. Didn't love the weird digital-world-affecting-real-world gimmick, but overall I enjoyed this.
Ah before the New '52. I do miss the old DC Universe
Surprisingly well-told cyber action, though the ending leaves something to be desired.
Aburrido, pero no me quedé dormido como al leer Azrael.En sí lo bueno o rescatable es la relación con Final Crisis y la ecuación anti-vida. Supongo que ayuda a resolver por qué ya no se usó la ecuación para destruir el mundo (osea sí en otras dimensiones), pero aquí al menos Oráculo intenta mantener alertas sobre quién intente usarla.Además, las partes del juego online, aunque así no funciona algunos diseños estaban padres.
Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. It was nice seeing more Oracle/Barbara stories after the end of BOP, but this one wasn't all that well done. Though the references to A Killing Joke were well done.
I read this beacuse it was on the Battle for the Cowl issues that I have to read in order to understand all the event (is not necessary) but now I regret wasting my time with this.
I like Oracle: The Cure because it showed that Oracle was no wimp or coward. Despite the calculator out to get her she was willing to do what it takes to help someone who truly needed it. The cure was not for her but what she could do for the person she was trying to help.
I love Oracle as a character. This book is always a fun revisit.
