I just got my first comic, like ever! I'm really dumb when it comes to comic books, so bare with me!
It's, I think considered a "novel" of sorts, a collection, whatever!
It says book one at the top "Birds of Prey" with Black Canary, Oracle, Huntress!
Well my question is: is there any other "books" out there!
Which ones are good?
I don't know, any info would be wonderful!

thanx much!:D

It's not out yet. If you would like to see what is out there in the way of back issues, check with Diamond-the main distributer of all things comics. If you would like to see something that isn't in continuity, then you will like the "Elseworlds" series. Hint: a good one to start with is Thrillkiller '62. Starring Bats, Babs, and short-pants himself, Robin.

It should be out now, a small delay from Diamond made it a day late.

Yeah Book 2's finally out, and that just started printing the monthly series in there as well, so eventually there will be more printing more issues of the monthly series. It'll probably be a lil while though.

Also, the small Trade Paperback Birds of Prey: Catwoman/Batgirl just came out, for about 6 bucks or so, and ther'll be a sequel to that later this year called Catwoman/Oracle.

Other than that, I think it's just the monthly series itself as far as BoP comics.
