The one-shot, available November 30th, contains nine shorts starring a wide variety of DC characters, including Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Deadman, and Wonder Woman.

Enjoy the gallery below, containing the first page of each story, and these quotes from the talent on the Catwoman and Harley Quinn stories.

CATWOMAN/ WONDER WOMAN: THE AMAZONIAN JOB by Beeby, Jung & Mulvihill
“It was so tough to choose: I wanted to write the ‘bad girl’ Catwoman, with all her sardonic quips, but I also wanted to explore the strength and mythology of Wonder Woman. Then I had this crazy thought: maybe I don’t have to choose…? They’re not enemies, but they are opposites. It’s hard to even think of them together. But I’m nothing if not a sucker for a challenge!”–Emma Beeby

HARLEY QUINN: GOOD MORNING, GOTHAM! by Jones, Lotfi & Pantazis
“Because the story is so short I just wanted to have some fun with it, and there is no better character for zany good times than Harley!”–Joëlle Jones
