In 2003, DC newcomer Gail Simone took over from Chuck Dixon as the writer for "Birds of Prey", an all girl super hero comic starring Barbara "Oracle" Gordon and Black Canary. She decided to add Huntress to the team and the combination of these three characters and Simone's flare for mixing drama with wit and action resulted in her 5 year run being one of the finest of the decade. Let's be honest, strong women have not been given a fair hand in the entertainment world.
