One-sentence summary: Come one, come all to watch Green Arrow screw up his potential marriage through subterfuge in regards to her kid in this decent series.
Not a bad issue at all. While I'm not totally into this series, I definitely enjoy it for five minutes once every two weeks. The big highlight in this was just seeing Black Canary whoop on pretty much everyone. Good job, comic.
I do want to see how this series finishes, as the cliffhanger end on this would be really sad without a reveal. So far, the art's been fine and the dialogue's been fine. This isn't a particularly great comic, but it's not bad, and it's all part of DC's nefarious plan to have a Green Arrow comic out every week (?). Why is DC pushing Green Arrow so hard, so suddenly? They must want to kill him.
That, folks, was a very bad, overly dry crack at the DC editorial staff.
Anyway, Black Canary: not bad, but not great. A couple of good moments with the lead character, I will say, so that was nice to see.

Black Canary #2 (of 4)
One-sentence summary: Black Canary's mini-series is better than I expected, and is generally pretty decent.
I'll admit: I'm liking this book so far. Maybe I'm softening with age or something, but I find Sin's occasional cuteness, well, fun. Followed by her hideous bursts of violence, well, that's what makes it a comic book. The art works for this title, and the story is crisp and fairly sensible. No great lengths are being taken so that what's going on is reasonable; rather, it's pretty easy to see a longtime Green Arrow foe taking advantage of this situation, as it gives him an opportunity to hurt Green Arrow while taking advantage that he's in close proximity to a person of large importance to the assassin community.
It helps that they're pushing this book out once per every two weeks. A story like this might lose momentum with a month's wait (maybe), but as is is pretty brisk and enjoyable.
I'm not a long-time Black Canary/Green Arrow fan, so maybe there are some greivous character errors happening here, but as far as I'm concerned it's all good. I generally like this title, if not that enthusiastically. Good job, comic book.
