Black Canary #1 - DC


Dinah's been recently proposed to by Ollie. But she has to think about it. First of all she's got Sin to worry about. Remember, that's the little girl she took from Mother. Because she was training her to take Lady Shiva's place? Well anyways, she wants to raise her as her daughter. I think. Maybe more like a sister. Not quite sure on that one. But . . . she does want to protect her and give her a chance at a normal life. But she's got a lot to think about. What city to live in? What school to send Sin to? How to watch over her, and protect her, and raise her? Lots of interesting questions. Then, on top of all this, Ollie goes and proposes to her. What was he thinking? Actually, they do make a pretty good couple. We get a little history in this book. We see one of the first times they met on a Justice League mission. But, Dinah's ex-husband has to stick his nose in the mix. But, it's not as coincidental as Dinah might think. Actually, Merlyn has taken up residency in Star City, and for some reason has his eye on Dinah. And since this guy is never good news, Dinah's life is going to get a lot more complicated before it gets easier. Great story by Tony Bedard. And I really like the artwork by Paulo Siqueira. I first saw his stuff on Birds of Prey. So he does have some experience with Black Canary. But I think his stuff is really getting better. It almost has like an early Adam Hughes look to it. Anyways, I'm pretty impressed. This should be a nice mini series. I guess by the end of it Dinah's supposed to make up her mind for Ollie. But since DC already has a JLA Wedding Special on the books for September, I think, I think we know what the answers going to be. But it still should be a nice ride in the meantime.
