Birds of Prey Vol. 3: The Hunt for Oracle

The classic BIRDS OF PREY series is re-collected here!

The Birds of Prey—the crime-fighting duo consisting of Oracle, the computer genius who used to fight crime as Batgirl, and Black Canary, the young adventuress who feels she has something to prove—are moving up in the world. Or should that be worlds? While on a routine mission, Black Canary finds herself, along with Catwoman, transported through a boom tube to Apokolips to face the Female Furies. After that, it’s a trip to New York to stop the Joker from nuking the Big Apple. Good thing Oracle has Power Girl on speed dial! But the real danger starts once the Birds get back to Gotham.
 
Time and again, Oracle has stolen the ill-gotten gains of Blüdhaven’s crime boss, Blockbuster, for her own use. Now Blockbuster has had enough and has assembled a team of mercenaries and cyberterrorists to track her down. Their first step in finding the person behind the screen will be to capture Blüdhaven’s costumed protector and known Oracle ally, Nightwing, and torture him for information. And with Black Canary being hunted down, Oracle will have to defend herself from the greatest threat the Birds have ever faced!

Chuck Dixon's resumé includes thousands of scripts for iconic characters like Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Iron Man, the Punisher, The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, G.I. Joe and many others. He is (along with artist Graham Nolan) the creator of the Batman villain Bane, the first permanent addition to the Dark Knight's rogues gallery in 40 years and for which he won 1993's Wizard Fan Award for best new character. His graphic novel adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is a perennial bestseller worldwide. His unprecedented 100-issue run on DC Comics' ROBIN is considered to be a classic in the comics medium. Chuck's contributions to Marvel Comics' The Punisher are widely acknowledged as integral to that character's development.
