NYCC has come and gone, however that doesn’t stop the excitement that was generated by the PaperFilms team of AMANDA CONNER and JIMMY PALMIOTTI as DC COMICS announced the brand new upcoming mini-series from the team of HARLEY QUINN AND THE BIRDS OF PREY under DC Comics Black Label coming in February 2020. That’s right, the team jumps back aboard the character they spent more than 110 issues writing and/or drawing to provide another adventure with Harley Quinn as she teams up with the Birds of Prey team! The story is written by Amanda and Jimmy and as an exciting bonus, Amanda will be doing the interiors and covers on the series! This is a must have adventure to all the Harley Quinn fans, followers of Amanda Conner’s amazing art and those who continuously laughed and followed the pair on the normal Harley Quinn title. With the Black Label format, the team will be able to take the filter off Harley and go wild, and that is just what she wants to do with this story!
The story will deal with the return of the Joker. This gives Harley reason to team up with Black Canary, Batgirl, and Huntress to fight off all the criminal element that starts gunning for Harley after Joker puts a $10,000,000 bounty on her head.
There has been some great quotes already in anticipation of the story from the team. Check it out:
“Conner is a master of body language, but particularly the body language of comedy. She can time and sell jokes well in a tough medium for that. That skill is a big part of what made their first go around with the character so successful, and really what’s made all of her DC projects – from Power Girl to the Wednesday Comics Supergirl story with Krypto and Streaky to the aforementioned Batman issue – so beloved.”
— Jim Dandy, Den of Geek
Perhaps one of those characters Harley will drive nuts is Conner herself. “I have her voice in my head and it’s really dug in like a tick. I don’t know if that makes me crazy because I have her voice in my head so clearly.”
— Amanda Conner (talking about the upcoming series)
