I thought for sure this would be the kid that Dinah injured when she was a kid, but it wasn't. It was someone else she injured . . on another case. From what I understand, she was using her Canary Cry and it blasted through the wall and hit an innocent guy. A guy who just happened to be a violinist. Sean Sonus was a violinist with the Star City Orchestra. He had a bright future ahead of him as a kid. He was very smart and his father wanted him to go to engineering school. But Sean was in love with music so he chose it instead. That is until a couple of months ago when Dinah took him out . . by accident. So now he calls himself Discord, and he's invented this sonic gun that disrupts sound . . as well as a helmet of sorts that he wears that allows him to hear. He has a younger brother who thinks Sean is a genius . . "What you've created . . I always knew you were a genius, but . . this could revolutionize the world for the hearing impaired. Deafness could be cured. You still clearly have a gift to give." But he quickly finds out that Sean is filled with hatred right now. Hatred for what the world, and Black Canary have done to him. So much hatred, that he can't let his brother stand in his way . . and kills him. Of course Dinah ends up taking him down, but . . it doesn't really feel like a victory to her. This is just another person that she's hurt because of her gift. Which I think is the purpose of the flashback sequences. In them, Ted Grant is talking to the young Dinah offering to coach her if needed. It all comes down to the final thing he says to her . . "Come and find me when your ready. Until then, do me a favor and . . try not to hurt anybody." Pretty prophetic words from a guy who's more than a little punch-drunk. In the back-up story we see how Ollie got on with Cupid. When the sound came back they hear a woman screaming for help. While they were all deaf, this woman started to freak out. Her boyfriend thought she was over reacting and got pissed off . . so he stabbed her. Cupid's ready to kill him for what he did, and Ollie is standing back and watching. He would've stopped her, but before he could the police come busting in. Lt. Hilton was concerned about Ollie's apathy, so he calls Dinah later. This just further proves that she's right to be worried about him. So far, I like what Andrew Kreisberg is doing with this series. He had 3 different parts going on in the main story, but in the end you see how they're all connected. Mike Norton does the pencils on the main story and the back-up, but in the back-up . . Bill Sienkiewicz does his inks. It looks fantastic. This just shows how changing the inker can really change the finished look of an artist's page. Also, another fantastic cover by Landronn.
