Barbara Gordon: Breakout #1 Preview

 

 

Each of them had their job to do. They knew it was a race against time. And Batman warned them that Vandal Savage's Tactical Urban Combat Officers would be dogging them every step of the way. While the Signal, Batgirl, Robin, and Batman set off on their separate tasks, Oracle watched over them all from her base of operations in the Clock Tower. 

Barbara Gordon has stood by Batman's side, protecting Gotham as Batgirl. She has watched over the Bat-Family as Oracle. Along with Black Canary, Barbara helped found the Birds of Prey. What does the future hold in store for her? And how will all training and expertise help Barbara Gordon survive the challenges awaiting her?

Leaping from the pages of May’s Batman #9 into the Next Level!

 

Framed. Outlawed. Hunted. The extralegal activities of Gotham’s vigilantes have never been more dangerous. After Barbara Gordon is arrested for aiding the Bat-Family, she is shipped off to Supermax, GCPD Commissioner Vandal Savage’s pet-project prison for all who oppose him. She will find herself alone, surrounded by dangerous criminals and equally dangerous guards, in a place where nothing is what it seems. The true danger is just beginning…

 

Eisner Award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki and fan-favorite artist Amancay Nahuelpan reunite to deliver a twisty, unexpected Bat-book for DC Next Level.
