Black Canary and Starling - and together, as Gotham City's covert ops team, they're taking down the villains other heroes can't touch. But now they've attracted the attention of a grizzled newspaper reporter who wants to expose them, as well as a creepy, chameleon-like strike team that's out to kill them.

All Max wants to do with his life is make comics, and all his parents do is discourage him. His life takes a turn for the hopeful when a mysterious recluse, a Parisian comics veteran, buys a ruined chateau in the woods near Max’s house. His appearance is echoed by the arrival of a mysterious peddler with a printing press in the medieval village of Max’s comic, in which a monk is busily spinning a tale of Max’s daughter Suzie, all grown up and an illustrator in her own right.
