We still have to wait until February to see Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), but DC Comics is helping fans prepare for the upcoming film in a pretty epic way. As part of DC’s December 2019 solicitations, the company officially announced three new trade paperbacks, each of which will collect a past run of comics specific to one of Birds of Prey‘s main characters.
Each of the covers will be adorned by a new movie-centric cover, which is created by fan-favorite artist Tula Lotay. The covers arguably reveal the best look yet at Birds of Prey‘s Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), after the trio were showcased in the film’s costume teaser and teaser trailer.

Now a mysterious cult is determined to dig them up, and Dinah must go on a whirlwind tour from Gotham City to the nightclubs of Europe. Collects Black Canary #1-12 and Black Canary Sneak Peek #1.
