Is there life beyond the confines of Apokolips? Scott Free, the future Mister Miracle, is about to find out. But when Big Barda plays a role in his escape, it could spell trouble not just for her potential promotion to the role of the leader of the Female Furies, but to the very existence of the Furies. The women warriors already have too many secrets among them, and if one is exposed, all are exposed. But which of Darkseid’s minions holds the true key to their destruction? Could it possibly be Granny Goodness herself?

All their lives the Female Furies have been raised to be the meanest, most cunning, and most ruthless fighting force on all of Apokolips. So why are Granny Goodness's girls left behind every time the men go to war? With the might of New Genesis hanging over the planet, and the Forever People making mincemeat out of Darkseid's army, Granny thinks it's about time that changed. And so, Big Barda, Aurelie, Mad Harriet, Lashina, Bernadeth, and Stompa set out to beat the boys at their own game. Little do they know the game is rigged- and one accidental killing could spell disaster for them all! Collects Female Furies #1-6, plus Jack Kirby's Mister Miracle #9, the issue that inspired this series.

Scott Free has escaped Apokolips, and now itÕs all-out war between that wretched planet and New Genesis. This is good news for the Furies, who now have a clear mission to fulfill: keep Scott Free from joining the other side. ThatÕs bad news for Big Barda, who has fallen in love with the future Mister Miracle. ItÕs a race to Earth to see who can get to Scott first, and maybe BardaÕs last chance to convince her sisters that they donÕt have to do what Darkseid says anymoreÑwhich could be the only way she comes out of this alive herself.

This issue, weÕre trapped in the dreams of Beautiful Dreamer! The Forever People are ApokolipsÕ Most Wanted and bringing one of them to the planet is treason all unto itself, so the fact that GrannyÕs plan to brainwash her Female Furies has backfired, Beautiful Dreamer is on the loose and the rogue Fury Aurelie is to blame canÕt be good for anyone. Can Granny track down these fugitives before Darkseid discovers that his warrior women are the source of his armyÕs recent troubles in the war against New Genesis?

In this extraordinary fantasy epic, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files leads readers into a world where the fate of the realm rests on the shoulders of a boy with no power to call his own... For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies—elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal. But in the remote Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans’ most savage enemy—the Marat horde—return to the Valley, Tavi’s courage and resourcefulness will be a power greater than any fury, one that could turn the tides of war...

In this exciting finale, Big Barda has mobilized her sisters to take on Darkseid and his mewling minions once and for all—and the whole planet is going to feel it when the Furies throw down!
