Birds of Prey - anyone know...?

I've been picking up the trades of this series and really enjoying it. It looks like a sizeable run of earlier issues were skipped in the trade treatment. Anyone know if this is indeed the case, or am I just missing something?

Cool, I'm looking forward to it. Manhunter is a great read.

I've picked up the Birds since the beginning and, if or when they actually trade them, I highly recommend picking up any collections of the Chuck Dixon issues. Of course I could say the same about Dixon's run of Nightwing and Robin also, but I tend to rate the Birds a little higher. The Gail Simone run is going along nicely too, especially when she brought Shiva into the picture.

Gail is one of the VERY FEW writers that writes Shiva the way she should be written!

Moving on through the series, and it's getting better and better. Also picked up Catwoman: Selina's Big Score and Black Orchid trades. It's time I gave these ladies some respect!

DC should trade the Brotherhood of the Fist storyline, which ran through Nightwing, BOP and Green Arrow. I've got all the original issues, but I'd pick up a new collection of that one in a heartbeat. One of the better Shiva tales.

Also the short lived Richard Dragon series featured some good Shiva action!
