📘 Series Summary

Forged in the fires of the DC New 52 reboot, the third volume of Birds of Prey reimagines the iconic team as a covert-ops strike force operating in the shadows of Gotham City. Led by Black Canary and the enigmatic Starling, this iteration strips away the Oracle/Information Broker dynamic in favor of high-stakes, "boots on the ground" espionage. Written by mystery novelist Duane Swierczynski and later Christy Marx, the series follows the team as they are hunted by both the law and the mind-controlling villain known as Choke.

This volume is defined by its volatile roster, featuring Batgirl (Barbara Gordon back in the cape), the soul-stealing Katana, and a reluctant Poison Ivy. Throughout the 34-issue run, the Birds navigate major crossovers like Night of the Owls and Gothtopia, while uncovering the truth behind Black Canary’s husband, Kurt Lance, and his ties to Team 7. With high-octane art from Jesus Saiz and Romano Molenaar, this run is a pulse-pounding departure from the classic Birds dynamic, emphasizing action, betrayal, and the cost of secrets.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The definitive New 52 relaunch of the team, featuring a gritty, espionage-focused narrative from Duane Swierczynski.
  • A crucial Night of the Owls tie-in (#9), featuring the team's brutal confrontation with the Talons of the Court of Owls.
  • Features Strix, the breakout former Talon who joins the team as a lethal silent operative.
  • Explores the hidden history of Black Canary and her connection to the mysterious Kurt Lance and Amanda Waller.
  • A major team-up/showdown against the Suicide Squad in the climactic final issues.
  • Striking cover art from modern masters like Stanley Lau (Artgerm) and David Finch.
