Birds of Prey #22
Birds of Prey #22 features the team in search of the missing Big Barda whose Mega-Rod they come across abandoned. Eventually the group does run into a possessed Barda while Oracle has her own problems which involve the destruction of the team's headquarters. Like many DC Comics, we're still seeing the effects of Absolute Power as the power boost of one of the villains the team comes across is suggested to be fallout from Amanda Waller's shenanigans.
The issue is notable for the apparent "death" of Barbara after she and Black Canary had been arguing for most of the issue. Yeah, nobody is buying that one. It's a talky middle issue to a longer arc that moves the story forward, gives some bickering which no doubt will be resolved in tearful apology, and ends with a bang (literally) which no doubt will be resolved quickly in the issue to follow.
