We mentioned some of this earlier, but now we have the confirmations. We’ve got 4 new titles to add to the list:
- Batwoman #1, by JH Williams III, Haden Blackman, and Amy Reeder (finally)
- Batgirl #1 by Gail Simone, Adrian Syaf, and Vincente Cifuentes
- Catwoman #1 by Judd Winick and Guillem March
- Birds of Prey by Duane Swierczynski and Jesus Saiz
It’s an interesting line up for sure. Batgirl is now Barbara Gordon, confirming an earlier rumor and being written by Gail Simone. I guess the hope here is that as the former Birds of Prey/Oracle writer, Simone might be able to transition Barbara back into the world of working legs with more grace than your average writer. Meanwhile, Swierczynski and Winick seem like odd choices for the other titles,and the Birds of Prey line-up and costume changes are curious indeed. What’s up with all that? For the covers and brief title descriptions, check behind the cut.
Batgirl’s going to have to face the city’s most horrifying new villains as well as dark secrets from her past in BATGIRL #1, the stunning debut issue from fan-favorite writer Gail Simone and artists Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes.
Meet Catwoman. She’s addicted to the night. Addicted to shiny objects. Addicted to Batman. Most of all, Catwoman is addicted to danger. She can’t help herself, and the truth is — she doesn’t want to. She’s good at being bad, and very bad at being good. Find out more about what makes Catwoman tick in CATWOMAN #1, written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Guillem March.
