Can the Birds complete a mission without this curiously perceptive bunch of kids catching on?
Mister Miracle #2
(W) Tom King (A) Mitch Gerads (CA) Nick Derington
What do you do after the most death-defying act of your escape artist career? You go to war, of course! Scott Free has skipped out on his trip to the great beyond and taken a boom tube to New Genesis instead, where he and his wife, Big Barda, take on the invading hordes of Apokolips. Things are a little off, however, and Mister Miracle starts to doubt why he's fighting when Orion takes over the mantle of Highfather. It's enough to make a New God miss Granny Goodness's orphanage! From Eisner Award-nominated writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads, the team that brought you THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON and the recent Swamp Thing crossover in BATMAN #23!
Harley Quinn 25th Anniversary Special
(W) Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Paul Dini, Chip Zdarsky (A) Chad Hardin, Joe Quinones (A/CA) Amanda Conner
In a story written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, with art by Conner, learn what really happened when Harley, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy hit Vegas!
Then, a tale written by Paul Dini with art by Chad Hardin takes us back to Harley's days with the Joker to see the hell he unleashes when he makes the mistake of scheduling the biggest heist of their career on Harley's birthday!
Plus, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Joe Quinones pit Harley and the Joker against Batman and Robin -- but while you might think the Joker knows how to play with Batman's mind, it's nothing compared to Harley's ability to crack Robin's psyche!
And that's not all! Writer Dale Kibblesmith with art by David LaFuente put Coney Island right in the path of a hurricane -- and put Harley on a collision course with Swamp Thing, of all people...monsters...things...?
This issue also includes Harley pin-up pages with art by Babs Tarr, Bengal, Dustin Nguyen and more!
