Next week is a big pre-holiday week for DC Comics, it’s the release of a bunch of 2022 annuals! There’ll be oversized issues for the likes of Nightwing, Detective Comics and the debut of Justice Society of America #1. But first up we’re taking a look at an annual which we’re very excited about: the first ever Batgirls Annual.
Written by the Batgirls series’ ongoing team of Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad, the 40-page special features artwork by Rabbi Rodriguez and colours by Rico Renzi. Letters for this issue come from Dave Sharpe. Below is a look at the main cover art for the annual which also comes from both Rodriguez and Renzi:
The synopsis for the annual teases the Batgirl’s freaky Friday scenario and the return of a legendary DC villain! Check it out right here:
It’s a freaky Friday when the Batgirls wake up inside each other’s bodies! That can’t be possible, right? It’s only stuff you see in the movies? Except Oracle has seen this happen before and the only person who may have the antidote to swap their bodies back…is Batman! And to make matters worse, Lady Shiva is here confronting her daughter about something…and it’s up to Steph to put on her best Cass to get through it!
DC has released six preview pages from the issue which you can check out in the gallery below. But as always… beware! There could be minor spoilers for the issue.
