☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2020 DC collection reprints the six-issue Female Furies miniseries, a prequel to Jack Kirby's Fourth World saga. Written by Cecil Castellucci and drawn by Adriana Melo, it explores the origins of the Furies—the all-female warrior force of Apokolips—focusing on Granny Goodness's brutal training methods and the rebellion of her protégée, Big Barda. The story delves into themes of systemic oppression and resistance within the rigid hierarchy of Darkseid's domain.
In "Female Furies Part One: 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Bleeding'," writer Cecil Castellucci and artist Adriana Melo launch a bold new chapter for the Female Furies, diving into the fractured psyche of Aurelie as she grapples with the aftermath of her time with Willik. When Granny harnesses the power of Beautiful Dreamer to plunge the Furies into visions of their ideal lives, Aurelie’s escape from that dream becomes a desperate flight toward Himon’s refuge—only to be pursued by her former sisters in arms. Joëlle Jones’ striking cover captures the tension of this pivotal moment, as the Furies’ loyalty is tested and the cost of freedom begins to bleed through.
In "Female Furies Part One: 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Bleeding'," Granny Goodness pushes her Furies to prove themselves in the eyes of Darkseid’s elite, facing relentless mockery and humiliation from the male soldiers. As the Furies are tested not by strength alone but by their willingness to endure, their loyalty is put to the ultimate trial.
In "Female Furies Part Two: 'Nasty Woman'," Aurelie finds herself caught between defiance and survival as Willik's relentless pressure pushes her to the edge. With Granny and the rest of the Furies urging caution to preserve their standing on Apokolips, Aurelie must weigh her desire for retribution against the cost of rebellion.
In a moment of quiet defiance, Aurelie flees the dream of perfection crafted by Granny and Beautiful Dreamer, seeking refuge with Himon as the Female Furies are sent to bring her back to Apokolips. The line between sanctuary and captivity blurs as past wounds and fragile hope collide.
In "What's Bred In the Bone," Barda takes a dangerous gamble as she aids Scott Free’s escape from Apokolips to Earth, testing loyalties in a world where trust is a weapon. When Willik tries to manipulate her using secrets from Rublon’s death, Barda turns the tables—exposing him to Darkseid, who names her the new leader of the Female Furies, sparking tension with the fiercely loyal Lashina.
In "Female Furies Part Five: 'We Can Do It'," the Furies descend on Earth with a deadly mission: capture Barda and kill Scott Free. Torn between loyalty and love, Barda negotiates a fragile truce—she’ll return to Apokolpis to avenge Aurelie’s death, but only if her life with Scott is spared.
In "Burn the World," Barda leads her Female Furies in a bold push to ignite a revolution among the women of Apokolips, challenging the brutal male-dominated order. But as the uprising begins, Granny Goodness answers with a new generation of Furies—loyal, ruthless, and ready to crush the old guard.
