Black Canary #1

Black Canary is another one of my favorite characters in the DC universe. Dinah Lance (Black Canary's real name) is a well known character in the Justice League. She's been part of the Birds of Prey for a long time along with Oracle (Barbara Gordon) and Huntress(Helena Bertinelli) the original team.
The tv show the Arrow also uses Canary's character on the show because of the past Dinah and Oliver (main character of the show) share in the comics.
One of her abilities is the Canary Cry which is very powerful.
The reason I brought up her Canary Cry is because in her new comic by writer Brenden Fletcher and artist Annie Wu, Dinah is the new singer of the Black Canary band.


When I heard they were making this new series, I was very excited because they were combining to of my favorite things, music and comics. That was enough for me to put this series on my pull list plus seeing Wu's art panels was definitely a plus.

Dinah joined the band to forget about her past, even saying her name is D.D., and earn money but it's not easy when trouble follows you everywhere you go.
In the beginning we see that Dinah  fights a group of thugs that harassed a group of ladies. It seems like fighting is a reoccurring thing at the Black Canary shows.

The next show the ladies play, Dinah wants to tone down the violence.



The show starts and so far it's going well for the band but while they were on their fifth song, that's when trouble struck.

The moment Dinah looked at them, she knew they were trouble

Dinah told the fans to exit the venue as fast as they could. Then the fun starts.

Dinah fighting with the enemy

 Once Dinah got them cornered, she turned to her band mates and said "I'm so sorry", and used her Canary Cry to trap the enemy.
Dinah thought they were after because of her ties to the Justice League but they weren't after her. They after one of Dinah's quiet, young bandmates, Ditto.
Knowing it'll be to dangerous to continue on with the band and trying to keep everyone safe, Dinah wanted them to disband but her bandmates were able to change her mind. Dinah then decided to train them so they could be able to save themselves.
They then ride off to the next show.


I definitely recommend picking up the issue. It's been great so far and it'll be interesting to see why those people were after one of Dinah's bandmates.
