DC's Black Label Birds of Prey Comic Officially Has a Release Date

It looks like DC Comics is doing something very smart with their Black Label Birds of Prey series. Since this is a mature comic that is intended to capitalize on the upcoming movie, Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the publisher has decided to release the series in the same month as the movie. We hope you DC fans aren't hurting for cash because it looks like you have some spendy months ahead of you.

According to Newsarama, we'll be seeing the Birds of Prey Black Label comic book in stands on February 7, 2020. Does that release date sound familiar? It's because that's the exact same date as the upcoming movie. Honestly, it's a pretty smart move from the publisher since fans that might be interested after watching the film can find a shiny new #1 in a nearby comic book store.

This is assuming us annoying collectors don't beat them to it (we can be pretty bad).

DC fans will be happy to know that the brand-new Birds of Prey Black Label series that Brian Azzarello is writing this comic book. Azzarello is a writer who often relishes in the dark and gritty style of comic book writing so this should be a treat to read. While not all of his writing is great - Does anyone remember the terrible Killing Joke animated movie? - this comic book should be in good hands.

Birds of Prey (And The Fabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is coming out on February 7, 2020, along with the upcoming comic book. Excited?
