Black Canary Vol. 1: Kicking and Screaming
Black Canary Vol. 1: Kicking and Screaming | Brenden Fletcher
14 posts | 19 read | 20 to read
Spinning out of the pages of BATGIRL, writer Brenden Fletcher (BATGIRL) and artists Annie Wu (Hawkeye) and Pia Guerra (Y: THE LAST MAN) present a fresh new take on one of DC Comics fiercest female characters. Former crime fighter Dinah Lance is tearing up the music scene fronting the recently rechristened four-piece band Black Canary. Now using the alias D.D., Dinah and her one-of-a-kind voice are rocketing the band to stardom. But Black Canary has somehow become a magnet for trouble-their shows ending in brawls more often than not. If the group cant shake the violence following them, their fame-and their lives-might be cut short. To keep the band safe, the vigilante-turned-vocalist will have to face off against government agents, shadow-monsters, ninjas and one ticked off former lead singer! Collects BLACK CANARY #1-7 and DC SNEAK PEEK: BLACK CANARY #1.

Plenty of music, ass-kicking, and great writing from Fletcher, artwork from Wu & Guerra, and colors from Loughridge.

Definitely a character I'm growing to love. Really enjoyed the first volume - pretty kick- ass!

With the awesome titles from DC I've read lately, I expected more from this story. I found it a bit hard to connect with the new characters. Still, the art was excellent and dynamic. #comics

I'm not sure about the story yet (a 10 year old inexplicably plays guitar in Dinah's band?) but I am loving the art by Annie Wu.

angrylilasian I love her art too! 8y

I really liked this! The art is on point and much different from what I've seen in most other comics (that I've thus read). And her outfits are always killing it tbh I wish I had her entire closet. ✨

Carol I had to read this in conjunction with Jem and the Holograms, because music! 😜 8y

What sweet nonsense is this? This is is why I both love and hate comics: anything is possible. They can make the far-fetched and/or ridiculous seem plausible. I'll keep reading this cause I'm interested enough (and I like this group of band mates and want to learn more about them)... But goodness, the shenanigans in this comic are just bizarre (although not the most bizarre I've ever read).

OSChamberlain You had me at band mates 😍🤘🏻 8y
Carol If you're into the music/band part I recommend the new Jem & the Holograms (no, really!) you too @OSChamberlain 8y
Eyelit Ooh, thanks for the heads up @Carol 👍 8y

Didn't buy that no one knew who Dinah was. Loved the art and theme of female friendship. Ended up feeling so-so about it in the end.

I still can't get on board with a rock star superhero.

This is about as close as Slick is gonna get to any canary. He's 17 years old! So the plot is as follows: Dinah- the lead singer of the band Black Canary- protects her band from the chaos of shows and fame ( brawls, pits, jerks, ninja, etc).

LorneGuyland I'm glad I'm not the only comic reader here. 8y
Anton I loved this take on Black Canary! 8y
SusanInTiburon I adore old cats. Yours has some very nice patina. 💙 8y

I love Annie Wu's art. And the colors! I want to frame all the pages as a gallery wall display. Kick-ass story to complete the package. I'll be getting Volume 2.
