    Written by Gail Simone Pencils by Joe Bennett & Eddy Barrows, inks by Jack Jadson & Robin Riggs. The two masterminds behind DCU's heroes and villains meet at long last, as Oracle and the Society's Calculator face off! 32 pg, FC, $2.50 US. REVIEW BY LONE STAR'S AARON SETTLE: From the moment Brad Meltzer revitalized The Calculator in the pages of Identity Crisis, readers have been waiting to see him clash with Oracle. Finally in Birds of Prey 87 this conflict begins. This issue does more to flesh out Calculator's character than any issue since the wrap of Identity Crisis. He's seen as a man obsessed with solving puzzles and the latest one to appear before him is the identity of the mysterious icon that blocks him at every turn. So he turns his attention to not only learning the identity of Oracle, but destroying her as well. It's a great issue in a book that has been full of great issues lately. If you're a fan of Identity Crisis but haven't been checking out Birds of Prey, this is a great issue to start with. Cover price $2.50.
