Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey #3

The third chapter of this DC Black Label miniseries arrives with a cover by Amanda Conner that puts Harley Quinn front and center — mallet in hand, painted grin wide — flanked by a sharp-looking squad that includes Huntress, Black Canary, and what appears to be Cassandra Cain, all armed and ready against a bold starburst backdrop. Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's "Gotham Town Smack Down" promises exactly the kind of chaotic, ensemble energy this cover radiates, with every member of the group striking a pose that suggests serious business wrapped in gleeful attitude. Alex Sinclair's bright, pop-infused colors give the whole thing a punchy visual energy that makes this 2020 issue genuinely hard to put down before you've even opened the cover.
