New team, new mission! Barbara Gordon makes her debut in the second volume of the critically acclaimed new series.

The series being called, “The Best Superhero Book Right Now” by The Hollywood Reporter makes its return from writer Kelly Thompson and artist Javier Pina. When shocking revelations in the wake of the team’s first mission lead to a conspiracy against the Birds, our crew of face-punching feathered friends will jump into action. It’s a new team and a new mission. Plus, making her much-anticipated return is one of the original Birds, Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl.

The Birds of Prey are back, breaking hearts and breaking faces with the most intimidating lineup in team history—including Black Canary and Harley Quinn!

Every mission matters. Every life saved is a miracle. But this time, it's personal.

Dinah Lance is one of the DC Universe’s most elite fighters, and combined with her sonic scream, she's a fearsome foe in any scenario...but sometimes even the Black Canary needs help.

Faced with a personal mission brought to her by a mysterious new ally, and up against near-impossible odds, she re-forms the Birds of Prey with an unrivaled group of badasses—Cassandra Cain, Big Barda, Zealot, and Harley Quinn—and only one goal: extraction without bloodshed. What could possibly go wrong?

Kelly Thompson (Captain Marvel, Black Widow) makes her long-awaited DC Universe writing debut, and is joined by her Hawkeye collaborators Leonardo Romero (Batman) and Jordie Bellaire (Wonder Woman) to debut an all-new, all-deadly Birds of Prey series, taking the team all the way to Themyscira for the battle of their lives!

This volume collects Birds of Prey #1-6.

REVIEWS FOR THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING:

" TGWWBK] introduces the best superhero/villain pair in ages." - io9

"Lola is, without hyperbole, one of the most fantastic antagonists I've ever had the pleasure to read." - io9 (Rob Bricken)

"A fresh, vibrant and haunting story that rivetingly explores of the danger and wonder of (super) power. In Lola and Bonnie Thompson has created two extraordinary characters - extraordinary in their abilities, surely, but also in their richness and complexity. A superhero story that's epic in scope, but also intimate - a great read." - Scott Snyder (critically acclaimed writer of Batman, Detective Comics, Superman Unchained, American Vampire, The Wake and more )

"Refreshingly, TGWWBK isn't about one heroine, torn between two suitors - it's about two young women with tremendous power, torn between right and wrong. Between good and evil. Destiny and free will. In a compelling, poppy exploration of Nature vs. Nurture, these girls don't just fly - they soar." - Bryan Q. Miller (author of Batgirl Vol. 3 and writer for Smallville)

"This book is f***ing amazing and I wouldn't change a damn thing." - Erin Jade Lange (author of Butter and Dead Ends)

"TGWWBK is not only one of my favorite books ever, but it also has maybe my favorite literary character: Lola LeFever " - Ross Campbell (creator of Wet Moon and Shadoweyes, artist for Glory)

A novel about two teenage girls with superpowers and radically different agendas, destined for a collision that will rock the world:

Separated by thousands of miles, two young women are about to realize their extraordinary powers which will bind their lives together in ways they can't begin to understand.

Protecting others. Maintaining order. Being good. These are all important things for Bonnie Braverman, even if she doesn't understand why. Confined to a group home since she survived the car accident that killed both her parents, Bonnie has lived her life until now in self-imposed isolation and silence; but when an opportunity presents itself to help another girl in need, Bonnie has to decide whether to actually use the power she has long suspected she has. Power that frightens her.

Across the country, Lola LeFever is inheriting her own power by sending her mother over a cliff...literally. For Lola the only thing that matters is power; getting it, taking it, and eliminating anyone who would get in the way of her pursuit of it. With her mother dead and nothing to hold her back from the world any longer, Lola sets off to test her own powers on anyone unfortunate enough to cross her. And Lola's not afraid of anything.

One girl driven to rescue, save, and heal; the other driven to punish, destroy, and kill.

And now they're about to meet.
