With Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) primed to hit theaters on February 7th, 2020, it makes sense that DC Comics capitalize on the opportunity by releasing some books focused on the characters of Harley Quinn, Black Canary and Huntress – doubly so if the three of them are kicking butt together.
As you may have heard, a mini-series written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Emanuela Luppachino had originally been penciled in for a Fall 2019 release, before being re-branded as a Black Label one-shot somewhat coinciding with the film’s February debut. But for whatever reason, the comic book has been pushed back by at least five weeks.
That’s right, the “adults only” issue is now slated to roll out on March 4th, which is well after its silver screen sister has had the chance to be judged by moviegoers. I find this somewhat to be somewhat of a downer, but what can you do?
In the meantime, you can feast your eyes on the full solicitation and covers right here:
BIRDS OF PREY #1
written by BRIAN AZZARELLO
art and cover by EMANUELA LUPACCHINO and RAY McCARTHY
cover by IVAN REIS and JOE PRADO
variant by J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
Black Canary’s life has spiraled out of control: her personal life is going through the ringer and her band is in crisis when an old flame resurfaces only to flicker out and set her on an all-new mission against an all-new opponent. The only thing she has to be grateful for is the fact that she’s not alone, as Huntress finds herself on a collision course with Black Canary’s quarry at Detective Montoya’s urging. Meanwhile, Harley Quinn has resurfaced outside of Gotham City and out of the Suicide Squad, with a new lease on life that is sure to make everyone else’s life more complicated.
And that’s only the first five pages of this high-octane, graphic novel-length one-shot that pushes the Birds of Prey far beyond their limits and puts them up against the most brutal crime syndicate to ever sweep into Gotham City! Hardboiled superstar writer Brian Azzarello and the bombshell art team of Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy take the Birds into the no-holds-barred world of Black Label, and none of them will ever be the same!
