This is better than I expected for such a dumb concept. It's about these pigeons protecting New York City from other animals like rats and hawks. They play it completely seriously. So you have a pigeon looking at a radar screen in their roost while the rest of the team flies through the city looking for rats or seagulls and the like causing mischief. Each issue is stand alone and by a different creative team.

Points for originality. I can def see the potential here (it needs a little refinement). Sometimes the contrast was low and made it difficult to tell what was happening. I did appreciate, in the last story, the addition of the color-coded speech bubbles.
