About this Collection

This volume collects the conclusion of the Birds of Prey series that ran from 2010 to 2012, centering on the aftermath of Barbara Gordon's decision to reclaim the mantle of Batgirl and the devastating loss of Oracle. The team, including Black Canary and Huntress, faces a new threat from the villainous Calculator while grappling with the shifting dynamics of their leadership and purpose. It features issues #9-13 of the series, written by Gail Simone with art by various artists.

In "The Death of Oracle, Part One of Four: The Cape and the Cadaver," the Birds of Prey team up with the enigmatic Question to take down a shadowy criminal syndicate, only to face a chilling new threat in the form of Junior, the ruthless daughter of the original Rag Doll. Gail Simone's sharp storytelling and Jesús Saiz’s intense artwork bring a tense, high-stakes edge to this pivotal chapter, while Stanley "Artgerm" Lau’s striking cover captures the series’ dark, urgent tone.
