One of the ‘Rebirth’ books that went back to the roots of its characters’ history, is the Birds of Prey. Black Canary, Huntress, and Oracle Batgirl are back together, along with a new Oracle, and doing their best to keep Gotham safe. The book is, essentially, the most street-level Bat-book of ‘Rebirth’ so far – “Detective” is building an army, “Batman” is taking Batman to his furthest extremes, “Red Hood and the Outlaws” and “Bargirl” have been travelogues, “Batwoman” hasn’t been stateside, and “Nightwing” is in Bludhaven. “Batgirl and the Birds of Prey” deals with a different kind of criminal, and so far has been very focused on cyber threats. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the thirteenth issue of the series, which wraps up the ‘Source Code’ storyline.

Lettered by Josh Reed“SOURCE CODE” finale! Oracle’s past entanglements with Gotham City’s underworld have gotten the Birds in deep trouble as Calculator, Catwoman and Poison Ivy all pull the team into their own dark agendas! Even if they can get themselves out of this mess, the question remains: Does Oracle really belong with the Birds of Prey, or is he a criminal at heart?
Thanks again to DC for the preview, and make sure to pick up the issue on Wednesday!
