The Gotham City Sirens will converge once more for a four-week miniseries in August, temporarily replacing the ongoing titles for Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy that month.
DC announced the miniseries today, which will be written by Leah Williams with artwork by Matteo Lolli, Daniel Hillyard and Brandt & Stein. Triona Farrell will color each issue, while Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou provides lettering.
In addition to Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, the miniseries will feature Punchline, White Rabbit and “the cowboy-henchmen sensation soon to be sweeping the nation known as the Nasty Boys.” Here’s a look at the Nasty Boys, as designed by Lolli:
The story itself will revolve around “a violent and highly illegal energy drink-sponsored hunting operation” that kicks off in Gotham, bringing the three villains/anti-heroes back together.
Here’s a look at some of Lolli’s interior artwork for the first issue, featuring the White Rabbit (who isn’t the same White Rabbit who was turned into a vampire this week in Amazing Spider-Man, in case you were wondering):
Artist Guillem March is doing connecting covers for all four issues:
