Sirens: Love Hurts #1 Writer Introducing Gotham's most eligible bachelorettes... for at least a little while longer! First, there's Catwoman, who's been playing cat and mouse with her two favorite boy toys — Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight himself, Batman. Next up? Harley Quinn, who's recently single and now committed only to her hot girl era. Of course, there's also Poison Ivy, who just wants to enjoy her solitude... as long as her best friend Harley's there to enjoy it with her. And then there's the new girl, Black Canary, who's engaged to the love of her life, Green Arrow — but the closer they get to the wedding day, the more it feels like they might not be so written in the stars after all. But these four fabulous women aren't meeting to discuss any of that. At least, not willingly. There's a killer on the loose in Gotham City — a killer of women. And when Black Canary realizes stopping the murders requires more criminal company than she's used to keeping, she finds herself reluctantly teaming up with the infamous Gotham City Sirens for the hunt. Easier said than done when the four of them can barely make it through one lousy brunch... Fan-favorite writer Tini Howard (Catwoman , Harley Quinn) teams with superstar artist Babs Tarr (Batgirl) to bring you the sexiest and most scintillating DC Black Label series yet! |
