Birds of Prey #9

A swirling vortex of flame and blue energy dominates Leonardo Romero's striking cover as several members of the Birds of Prey — including Black Canary, Batgirl, and their teammates — tumble and fight their way toward what the tagline calls a "Portal to the Unknown." Looming in the upper corner, a menacing armored figure watches over the chaos, hinting at the formidable threat kicking off "Worlds Without End," a five-part saga written by Kelly Thompson with art by Jonathan Case and Gavin Guidry, colored by Jordie Bellaire. Issue #9 looks like a genuinely ambitious escalation for this team, and that cover alone makes a strong case for what's coming.
