Birds of Prey (2023)

BREAKING HEARTS AND FACES--THE BIRDS OF PREY ARE BACK! Every mission matters. Every life saved is a miracle. But this time, it's personal. Dinah Lance is one of the DCU's most elite fighters, and combined with her sonic scream, she's a fearsome foe in any scenario...but sometimes even the Black Canary needs help. Faced with a personal mission brought to her by a mysterious new ally, and up against near-impossible odds, she re-forms the Birds of Prey with an unrivaled group of badasses--Cassandra Cain, Big Barda, Zealot, and Harley Quinn--and only one goal: extraction without bloodshed. What could possibly go wrong? Kelly Thompson (Captain Marvel, Black Widow) makes her long-awaited DC Universe writing debut, and is joined by her Hawkeye partners-in-crime Leonardo Romero (Batman) and Jordie Bellaire (Wonder Woman) to debut an all-new, all-deadly Birds of Prey series...still breaking hearts and faces after all these years!

BLACK CANARY'S ALL-NEW TEAM ON THEIR FIRST MISSION! Black Canary has built an all-new team with a very specific and very dangerous first mission: extraction! Their target: [REDACTED]! She's being held on [REDACTED] and guarded by a battalion of [REDACTED]. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, then we're explaining it wrong! It's a terrible mission! And before it can even be launched, the Birds have to gather a few mysterious supplies and see some old familiar faces...that they punch!

The covert first mission of the re-formed Birds of Prey has established their beachhead...in Themyscira! What could be so important to Black Canary that she'd risk the wrath of the greatest warriors on Earth?!

Chaos reigns as the first mission for the Birds of Prey has (unsurprisingly) gone sideways. Even with the collective battle prowess of her hand-picked team, did Black Canary bring enough firepower to fight their way off Themyscira?!

As the Birds and the Amazons double their efforts in fighting Megaera, Dinah and Sin take the battle inside, quite literally. The battle for the fate of Sin has now truly begun and it is not something everyone is gonna walk away from.

It's all-out war on Themyscira as the team faces off against the mythical Megaera...can the Birds overcome this ancient evil?! Or will one of them have to pay the ultimate price...?

Sin is alive and back with Black Canary in Gotham, and the world didn't get destroyed, but the cost was high and nobody's exactly sure what it means yet. Shocking revelations in the wake of the Birds' first mission lead Dinah to...a conspiracy against the Birds of Prey and a whole new mission. New mission, new team. Hold onto your butts.

Mari McCabe aka Vixen has joined the Birds of Prey to help them get to the bottom of the mysterious villain hunting them through time. But first Mari has a fashionably dangerous problem of her own that needs solving. You scratch my back, I scratch yours, never looked so good.

If the Birds of Prey have one mission, it's protect Barbara Gordon at all costs, and that mission is...not going great. Dinah and her team search for Barbara in this strange new world that seems specifically designed to trip them up. Many mysteries lurk in the dark of this world, and some of them don't even want to kill you...probably.

It's Barda's world now, and we're all just living in it. As the Birds search for Barbara inside the mysterious portal that keeps changing (and also trying to kill them), separating enemy from ally is getting harder than ever--and more important than ever.

The Birds of Prey's personal failings threaten to turn an advantage into a disadvantage as their search for Barbara continues to be more fight for their lives than search for Oracle. Oh, and there are dinosaurs.

Their attempt to control the portal dimension has backfired in a hilarious but violent way, and the Birds of Prey find themselves dealing with some... unexpectedly cute results. Meanwhile Oracle's escape plan nears completion despite some over-enthusiastic assistance. Cassandra Cain has a big idea.

WHAT NIGHTMARES AWAIT THE BIRDS OF PREY THROUGH THE FINAL PORTAL? With the search for Barbara finally over, Cass leads the Birds of Prey through the portal one final time, and where they end up is a world far too familiar to Cass but strange to everyone else. Just what dangers lie among the unliving...or should we say who?

The Birds of Prey are back to business as they infiltrate The Ninth Day, a mysterious corporation the Birds believe has kidnapped people--including Amazons that have gone missing. When their spy on the inside, an undercover Cassandra Cain, breaks contact, it'll be up to Oracle, Black Canary, Big Barda, Megaera, and newcomers Grace Choi and Onyx to bust her out. Don't miss the start of this thrilling new arc, where the fate of the Amazons rests in the hands of a silent warrior!

THE TEAM UNCOVERS THE NINTH DAY CULT'S DEADLY SECRETS! Things have gone sideways in the Birds of Prey's investigation of the Ninth Day cult, and the Birds' undercover operative, Cassandra Cain, has gone deathly silent. The team going in to break her out are heavy hitters of the highest order--Black Canary, Big Barda, Grace Choi, and Onyx--with Oracle at mission control, and Sin frustrated she's been benched. But what they find is so much more than they feared...

AMAZONS IN TROUBLE! Did you ever wonder what happens when Small Bat gets big? And whatever will Big Barda have to say about it? Meanwhile, five Amazons' lives are on the line and oh, the entire Birds of Prey field team is caught in a twist no one could have anticipated.

IS THIS THE END OF CASSANDRA CAIN? Nobody on this team is willing to lose Cassandra Cain, but if it comes down to her or the Amazons they came to rescue...how will they choose? And who will do the choosing? The Birds of Prey always honor their obligations...but at what cost?

A TRAP IS SET! When Oracle intercepts chatter about Sin from the ninja clan long bent on acquiring her, Dinah, Sin, and Megaera decide to set a trap instead of waiting for an ambush. Meanwhile, Constantine reaches out to Oracle for last-minute help moving a tricky demon across a dimensional plane, but Oracle only has the skeleton crew of Big Barda and Cass Cain on hand...and they might not be the best fit for this particular mission.

THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS PRESSES THE ATTACK! Black Canary, Sin, and Megaera try to bond through violence as they find themselves overwhelmed by a splinter League of Assassins clan bent on reacquiring Sin. Maybe leaving Barda at home wasn't the best idea? Elsewhere, Barda, Cass, and Constantine face the unexpected as they try to return a mischievous demon home while trapped inside the mysterious area known only as the Seam.

INTRODUCING A BRAND-NEW TEAM OF VILLAINS! A midnight heist. A staged crime scene. And an all-new (or is it all-old?) villain team emerging with its sights set directly on the Birds of Prey. Old grudges, new fascinations, where will it all lead...and which Bird will be taken first?

A NEW VILLAINOUS TEAM-UP TAKES THE SPOTLIGHT! A new villain team, fashioned specifically to take out the Birds of Prey, has emerged in dramatic fashion. And with the Birds deliberately scattered across the globe investigating both real and false leads, they're more vulnerable than ever. With the strongest of them already fallen, how can any of them survive what's coming?

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, BARBARA GORDON--YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT. The Birds investigate the disappearance of one of their own, hoping it will lead them to both their missing comrade and the truth about the mysterious villains attacking from the shadows. Meanwhile, the Shadow Army makes another big move, with Oracle on the explosive receiving end.

THE SHADOW ARMY HAS A WEAPON, AND THE BIRDS ARE IN THE CROSSHAIRS! Bruised and battered, with one teammate lost to the enemy and another now missing, the Birds split up and disappear into the darkness of Gotham at Black Canary's command. The Shadow Army has struck at the very heart of the Birds of Prey and now has all the pieces to create its game-changing weapon.

THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL! The Shadow Army has had the upper hand from the jump, but the jump is long past, and the Birds are ready to get their people back and throw down like it's personal. And yeah, it is.

CELEBRATE THE 25TH ISSUE OF BIRDS OF PREY! The Birds of Prey took the fight to The Shadow Army and won--but that was merely the Shadow Army's first move and their endgame is only just beginning. After an unexpected ally emerges, the Birds find themselves racing against the clock to stop a game called The Unreality that is primed to become a mass casualty event in Gotham. To stop it, the Birds will need to go undercover, enter the game, dismantle it at its source...and somehow make it out alive.

NEW LOOKS. NEW RULES. ZERO MARGIN FOR ERROR. GAME ON! Trying to prevent the Shadow Army’s latest plan from turning into a live-action bloodbath in a bustling Gotham, the Birds of Prey give new meaning to the word undercover as they head inside a game called The Unreality with an ally they cannot possibly trust at their side.

GAME OVER! The Shadow Army’s plan to turn virtual violence into real-world bloodshed is closer to coming true than anyone realizes. And the line between game and reality shatters as the Birds enter the Unreality. Armed with the ultimate disguises and with the wildly unpredictable Inque now on their side, can the Birds of Prey stop the ultimate game over before it’s too late?

DON'T MISS THE FINAL ISSUE! One last mission. One final fight. No do-overs. No second chances. And the fate of the Birds of Prey hangs in the balance. The Unreality is collapsing and threatening all of Gotham as it spills out into the real world in dangerous and unexpected ways. As the Birds of Prey struggle to survive inside the game, the final showdown will test everything the team has built. Can the Birds get to the heart of what the Shadow Army’s real goal has been all along before it’s too late for them...and for Gotham?
