I totally preferred Holly Granger, like 1000x.

Johns said at WonderCon that Dove would pay a huge part in Brightest Day

Well, I'm shocked. In a good way. (I also would have preferred Holly as well.)

Although I love Benes art-work, especially on women, does anyone else notice Black Canary and Oracle look exactly the same in the face except for the glasses?

darn, I was hoping for Cassie .... oh well 
 
thanks for the news though!

I would have preferred if two Hawk and Dove teams where around. (Hank + Don & Holly + Dawn.)    

I think it's great that these two are gonna be in birds of prey :) ,however i was actually hoping for misfit to be on the team.......but hawk and dove will be okay .....for now. 
P.S does anyone anyone know where misfit is??? ...I know black Alice has appeared in secret six , but i don't think misfit has appeared in a comic for awhile now... 

"Johns said at WonderCon that Dove would pay a huge part in Brightest Day "

we'll see...we'll see...

Yea, I mean I trust Gail SImone and all, but Hawk and Dove are odd choices to start the team with. It should be a good book though, and hopefully they will have mention of the previous Hawk, who I believe was Dove's sister.

Yeah! Whenever Dove would come up in the panel all he said was "I can't talk about it"...  I thought Birds of Prey was all women?  "

I would like to know Babs feelings on this.

I would have to say i liked the Female Hawk alot better.

Wooo. Glad to see Huntress and BC.  ^_^
What's Hank doing there? - The BOP should be all women. & Holly was alot better.

Agreed. Hank has a 2D personality and Holly was hot. "

I like hawk and dove! :D but it does feel weird without holly though.....

the only thing I've read with Holly was the Teen Titans: Blackest Night mini so she never had a chance to grow on me

I think it's interesting to see Hank Hall on the team considering he was nuts last time he was alive.

" @johnny spam: yeah i know lol, it's a shame they killed her off though..that character had plenty of potential..... I've just got used to the character too... :/ "

Hank Hall's got ALL da sexy ladies.

@johnny spam:
Duly noted. However Holly made a better Hawk than hank because she was assertive and intense not arrogant and mentally unstable she was essentially Huntress with the powers of Chaos whereas Hank is more like Damien (Batman and talia's son) or Major Force with the same powers.  Hank to me seems like an excuse not  to use Nightwing/ Batman (Dick Grayson) in BOP, just like he was the cop out for Monarch as opposed to originally using Captain Atom   

Revealed? Usually when I see the words revealed I expect a surprise.None here :(

I shall be picking this up. Aside from Dove's importance in "Brightest Day" (although, I'm sure that'll be covered in the BD series), Simone + Birds of Prey = Win.

I told everyone it was gonna be Hawk and Dove but I'm disappointed that Holly is remaining dead

Meh...Shiva needs to be back on the team.

I'm excited for this series
mainly because I won't have to pick up Batgirl to read about Barbara 
w00t

Well, I suppose that a lineup that is nearly identical to the old lineup is a relief, if not an outright surprise.

I hope that Cassandra Cain makes her return in this series just so Ed Benes draws her

I'd love to see a Birds of Prey/Birds of War crossover. They can team up against Ra's al Ghul and the Talibum. 

Everyone's complaining but a hawk is literally a bird of prey.... If there's anyone who, by definition alone doesn't belong, it's dove, and canary..... But it all still works for me. It's like any team, you gotta have someone there of the opposite sex to everyone else. Hawk is their Wonder Woman.

I miss Big Barda :( but I guess this will have to do.....

I didn't want to pick up this book due to I don't give a crap about any of these characters and Gail Simone.
 
But Hank Hall..

hmm.. I thought one of the shadows was going to be Batwoman... I'm not sure how a feel about H&D joining. They don't really fit in, I mean, Hawk's a dude!

Well okay so the dead guy comes back to life and joins a team that has been all women in the past... interesting twist there.

The new(er) Dove sparked my interest in Blackest Night so I'm looking forward to seeing her in Birds of Prey. I am a little surprised that Cassandra Cain is not on the team, but hopefully that means she's tied up in a bigger comic....Batman for instance ;)

So white its kinda painful...

There is a sort of sense of justifiable irony in this team. It used to be that in comic teams it would be a group of men with a token female member. Now, we have Hawk who is the token male member. lol

" @Dane: Holly had zero personality, how attractive she was drawn is meaningless "

i give Hawk and Dove like 2 story arc max before they realize that everyone hates them

Why are so many people complaining about Holly? Seriously, her existence didn't even make sense and made a mess out of the continuity of Hawk & Dove
