Mangual Assistant Editor: Darren Shan Editor: Rachel Gluckstern Group Editor: Mike Marts   28 \u2013 The Wings of Truth   Welcome to Gothtopia! Gotham City, America\u2019s safest city, America\u2019s happiest city. Huh? We the reader realize this is a new reality but the Birds don\u2019t realize they have been transformed. They now wear white uniforms and new code names. Batgirl is now Bluebelle. Strix is Artemis. Condor is Eagle. And Black Canary is known as Warbler.  Together they are the Wings of Truth. At a display of the many flying blimps of the city, Bluebelle, Artemis, and Eagle are joined by Warbler on her motorcycle. The four head to a children\u2019s charity event at the circus where they perform for the kids. Later at their headquarters, movie night is interrupted by word that Batman has gone berserk.  The Wings of Truth head toward the fight to capture Batman where they learn Batman thinks everything they\u2019re seeing is a lie. Not to worry, says Dr. Crane. Batman will be taken to the Crane Center for Health and Wellness where he will be well cared for.  The Wings of Truth take up the slack of superheroing in Gotham until Batman attempts to break out of the Crane Center along with Poison Ivy. The team joins the other heroes and a fight, of course, breaks out. Ivy tries to tell Warbler they need to wake up, can\u2019t they see they\u2019re filled with poison. Bluebelle reassures the others Batman is under control and she will stay while the other three return to HQ. They are asleep on the couches when someone sprays a gas into Warbler\u2019s face. She awakens confused. When her head clears she can now see the crappy apartment they are sleeping in and realizes who they really are. She is Black Canary once more. She is greeted by Ra\u2019s al Ghul who explains the entire city has been dosed with a chemical by the Dr. Crane, aka the Scarecrow. Ra\u2019s has awakened Black Canary to tempt her with a vial containing a tiny iota of the Lazarus Pit, the source of his regeneration. It is a sample to prove he can save her husband Kurt if she is willing to betray Mother Eve.  After Ra\u2019s leaves, Black Canary tricks Condor and Strix into a speedboat. When they are far enough away from the city, the others regain their minds. However Black Canary can\u2019t return for Batgirl. The antidote she was given is no longer working. Batgirl finally makes her way back to the barge. She wants to know how Black Canary was in Gotham after she refused to leave Kurt\u2019s side. Black Canary explains she realized she\u2019d made a mistake turning her back on the team and headed into Gotham to join them only to come under the spell of Scarecrow\u2019s drug. Batgirl then confronts Black Canary over her lack of leadership since Kurt\u2019s return. Black Canary agrees and asks Batgirl to lead instead. Batgirl hesitates, she has her own life to deal with, but finally agrees. Later by Kurt\u2019s bedside, Black Canary struggles over what to do with the vial. She told everyone she was temporarily cured by Poison Ivy instead of Ra\u2019s, hiding the fact she may be making a deal with the devil. Birds of Prey vol. 3 29 Cover Date:  May 2014   Writer: Christy Marx Penciler: Robson Rocha Breakdowns: Scott McDaniel Inkers: Jonathan Glapion and Marc Deering Colorist: Chris Sotomayor Letterer: Dezi Sienty Assistant Editor: Darren Shan Editor: Rachel Gluckstern Group Editor: Mike Marts   29 \u2013 The Eve of Battle Condor is upset that the discovery of Black Canary\u2019s comatose husband Kurt has put a damper in his own relationship with Black Canary. He hears her screaming in pain as bad news about Kurt\u2019s condition has reached a crisis point. Uplink sees Condor in the hallway and tells him about trying to teach Strix to read on a tablet. On the last one Strix scratched out Gone Find Batgirl then disappeared. Condor heads to Gotham to look for both women. Black Canary returns to Kurt\u2019s side. After the removal of the nodes in his head, Kurt is in a permanent vegetative state. Black Canary decides to secretly give him the vial of Lazarus Pit essence that Ra\u2019s al Ghul tempted her with last issue. Miraculously Kurt starts asking for water. Black Canary now knows Ra\u2019s could cure Kurt as long as she\u2019s willing to betray Mother Eve. Hearing about Kurt\u2019s miraculous turn around, Mother Eve knows Black Canary is likely compromised but has made a decision to trust her regardless. She checks in with her staff. Ra\u2019s ships are on their way.  Meanwhile Condor is contacted in the city by a drone projection of Ra\u2019s al Ghul. He tempts Condor with a bargain: let Ra\u2019s reach Mother Eve and in exchange Ra\u2019s will have Kurt killed. Condor says it must happen at the beginning of the battle and then they\u2019ll have a deal. As Ra\u2019s ship nears Mother Eve\u2019s, both sides prepare for the coming battle, it will be a fight with sword and fist.  Mother Eve heads to the regeneration chamber where she will be helpless during Ra\u2019s attack. She says it must be Black Canary that guards her door. Batgirl and the others remain on deck with Mother Eve\u2019s forces. The regeneration of Mother Eve begins just as the first wave of Ra\u2019s assault reaches them.     ","author_name":"WRIGHT ON NETWORK!","author_url":"https:\/\/wrightonnetwork.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
