A new Birds of Prey series officially launches in Sept. 2023 from writer Kelly Thompson, artist Leonardo Romero, colorist Jordie Bellaire and letterer Clayton Cowles. Part of the ongoing “Dawn of DC” storytelling initiative, the series will see Black Canary lead the newly assembled team to take on a number of dangerous threats. Thompson first announced she, Romero, Bellaire and Cowles were working on a Black Canary-led Birds of Prey series on June 5 before gradually revealing the team members over the course of the following week.

DC said of the new series, “In Birds of Prey, Dinah Lance is one of the DC Universe’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—Cassandra Cain, Big Barda, Zealot, and Harley Quinn—with only one goal: extraction of their asset at any cost. What could possibly go wrong? This all-new, all-deadly Birds of Prey is still breaking hearts and faces after all these years! “


Thompson and Romero Discuss the New Birds of Prey Series

“When I say this is a dream come true for me, I mean not just working on the iconic Birds of Prey title, but also the characters we were able to fold in, and the creative team we assembled,” Thompson said. “Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire were two of my first partners-in-crime making superhero books and I’ve been trying to make this happen ever since. It won’t surprise anyone to learn that Leonardo and Jordie are even better than they were the last time we worked together—and working together on this wild book is pure magic.”

Romero added, “I couldn’t be happier to announce my first monthly project for DC! With this book, I’ve had the opportunity to not only draw some of the most badass women in the DC Universe, but also to work once more with the best people in our industry, Kelly Thompson and Jordie Bellaire. I missed the dynamic we had on Hawkeye, so I’m very excited to have our team back together! Can’t to show you all what we’ve been doing!”

Birds of Prey #1 features cover art by Romero and variant covers by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, Chris Bachalo, Nick Bradshaw, Romero and Frank Cho. The issue releases on Sept. 5, 2023, from DC.
