Birds of Prey #47

Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti bring their sharp storytelling to this 2002 chapter of Birds of Prey, written by Terry Moore, as "The Chaotic Code Part One: Icarus Rising" kicks off a new arc. Phil Noto's cover art arranges a striking tableau: a determined man in a black suit crouches armed in the foreground alongside Black Canary in her classic fishnets, while Oracle works quietly at her console behind them, and a luminous, fiery-haired woman looms large in the background alongside a commanding bald figure — suggesting a serious threat taking shape. It's a confidently composed cover that sets an atmosphere of tension and intrigue right from the start.
