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.

Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes #32
One-sentence summary: As this new storyline gets started, we see more into the background of Lightning Lad and his community, complete with suspenseful ending that genuinely leaves me looking forward to the next issue.
I'm pretty neutral, currently, on the Legion. They're a neat concept, and sometimes they're pretty cool, but I haven't read anything yet that currently just blows me away. I liked the interactions between everyone here. I'm looking forward to hearing the tie-ins between the cult and the current story, and the issue just generally felt solid.
The art fits the characters well, and the storyline seems to be progressing well. I hope we hear more from the other teams of Legionnaires sent out, but if we don't so be it. Overall, this was a good issue. The Legion characters acted like themselves, it seemed, and their interactions were definitely a big plus for me.

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.
