Birds of Prey #23

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Birds of Prey #23 arrives with a cover by Ricken that puts Black Canary in fierce, screaming combat — her blonde hair blazing, she squares off against a towering, scaled, draconic creature wielding a golden staff. The tagline "Only One Can Withstand the Canary's Cry!" frames the showdown with confident dramatic flair. Writer Christy Marx teams with artists Romano Molenaar and Jonathan Glapion for "Dreams That Never Were," a story that clearly keeps the team in the thick of serious supernatural danger.
