Episode Description
Welcome to another Word Balloon Book Club, where Brian Michael Bendis and the Word Balloon Patreon community get together for a smart, funny, no-BS discussion about one of the hottest titles on the shelves: Birds of Prey Vol. 1 by Kelly Thompson.
This session breaks down why Thompson’s run lands so hard — the pacing, the team chemistry, the character voices, and the way this book resets the Birds with a mission that actually matters. We talk Cass, Dinah, Barda, Harley, and the surprise players who make this lineup click. Expect:
• Bendis giving craft insight into what makes the scripting work
• Patrons sounding off with their favorite moments, twists, and character beats
• A look at the art, layouts, and the visual tone of the run
• Thoughts on where Thompson might be steering the series next
•
