Is the TPB worth buying? I'm debating whether or not to do so.

IMO .. yes ,,, but then again .. you know I'm biased.

Huntress does not make an appearance...right? (Because someone told me she does.)
I think it contains Wolves, Batgirl and Bop #1-6.

Kea .. No Huntress doesn't appear in this graphic novel ... this novel is basically a collection of the first 5 issues (I think, I could be wrong about the numbers) of the running series .. it features only BC and Oracle and the storyline centers around the breaking up of a slavery ring.

Its a very good read, since it was written by Chuck Dixon who is the oringal creator of the BOP concept and book .. and Greg Land's art is nothing to sneeze at either.

Sounds good. I had a feeling Huntress wasn't in them. (I knew the person who told me was wrong.)

Oh Jesse I wanted to get BATMAN: OUTLAWS and BATMAN: HUNTRESS/SPOILER BLUNT TRAUMA. Any good? Thanks.

Outlaws doesn't ring a bell with me .. but I'm sure its just another collections of the books so I'm probably famliar with the storyline I just don't know which one it is off the top of my head.

Huntress/Spoiler is a good read ... also look around for Nightwing / Huntress ... it will give you some insight as to what I'm sure will be "issues" between Huntress and Oracle in the coming months in BOP.

Oh I want to get the Nightwing/Huntress one.
The Huntress/Spoiler one sounds good.
Thanks for the info on 'Outlaws' Frostbite! We'll see what I can get.

Kea ... just my opinion ... but I would advise you to make an effort to get Nightwing / Huntress first, since your intrested in reading the BOP monthly book ... the reason being I've been reading the DC boards (which I post on too) and its been confirmed that the storyline in that mini-series will have direct ramifications on BOP in the coming months.

Outlaws is really a stand alone story that has little if any envolvment in forwarding the current storylines in the Bat books, I'm not saying don't get it ... I'm just saying N/H will offer more to get you involved in BOP directly.

Really? You know I was wondering about that a few days ago (with the H/N one). Good to know. Thanks Jesse.
(Have I mentioned Mile High Comics are my friends! Except they only have 1 out of the 4 right now and talk about price! Oh well. Its on my to get list) :)

That's very nice of you Jesse thank you.
Actually I just found two more comic shops in my area I want to try out first of all and see what they have or can get.
But I will let you know if I turn up empty handed.

I hope they do come out with a third BoP volume, the first two were must reads in my mind!

I'm sure once a few issues of Gail and Ed's or at least the first storyarch is completed they will be bundeled in to a Graphic Novel.
