Birds of Prey was just uninteresting. The art was bland, the dialogue was blander, and I don't care about any of the characters as they're represented here. Even the twist ending didn't do anything for me. It was a bad comic really, just very dull.
Blue Beetle was another all set-up comic but it managed to do quite a lot. It moved at a very fast pace and, established most of the major characters and the basic backstory of the Scarab, and even showed us what seems to be a very extended rogues gallery, including new villains and a lot of C-listers many will remember from the Teen Titans cartoon. Obviously written for the trade, but not at any sacrifice to the pacing.
