About this Collection

This volume collects the second half of the 2011 Birds of Prey series, centering on the fallout from the apparent death of Oracle (Barbara Gordon) and the team's struggle to adapt without her leadership. Written by Duane Swierczynski with art by various creators, the story sees Black Canary and the new Birds of Prey facing threats from the villainous Choke and a mysterious figure targeting the group. It includes issues #8-13 of the series, continuing the gritty, action-packed tone of the run.

In "The Death of Oracle, Part One of Four: The Cape and the Cadaver," Gail Simone and Jesús Saiz launch a gripping chapter in the Birds of Prey saga, with the team—joined by the enigmatic Question—venturing into the shadows of a secretive criminal network. When Dove and Dinah face off against Junior, the ruthless daughter of the original Rag Doll, the mission takes a deadly turn, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation. The issue's bold visuals are brought to life by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau on the cover, capturing the tension with striking precision.
