Black Canary Appreciation 2021

[Hypo]

By Adam Hughes

So this is a variant for Deathstroke Inc.

Kind of random, but more Black Canary art is never a bad thing .

I wonder if TRUST is connected to Checkmate. Looks like they're leaning into Dinah's spy past.

So is the Black Canary story in Batman: Urban Legends #6 leading into Deathstroke, Inc.? I'd assumed it was some sort of Birds of Prey set-up, but with her appearing on the variant cover, and I'm pretty sure the UL story is by Williamson as well, that seems to make the most sense.

I wonder if this means she's off the League? The JL solicit says there's some new team members, and events in Infinite Frontier and the Superman books do mean that Barry and Clark need replacing... Dinah joining forces with Deathstroke and Oliver's shenanigans in Checkmate could mean they're out too.

She's not just on the variants, she's in the solicit text and preview art:

Poor Dinah. Always a supporting character in a man's solo.
I'm really disapponted they're making her work with Deathstroke of all characters.

Well, we can at least hope she'll still be written well.

It's dreadful. I hate Deathstroke and I hate heroes working with villains as a general rule (and he absolutely is a villain), so I'll be giving this one a miss.

I think I trust Williamson to do right by her, for the most part. Still don't like Slade (or Porter!) so I'll be skipping Deathstroke, Inc.

Fingers crossed she stays in JL...

I'd rather cross my fingers that she gets her own solo-title not written by Bendis, but that's just me.

Yes, that would be ideal... but DC has set the bar pretty low for many of my favorites, so keeping her with Bendis in JL is the best I can hope for at the moment!

Unless this involves her throwing him in prison at the end, there's no excuse for this team up.

Right?? Someone should show her their copy of Identity Crisis in case she's forgotten...

My money is on Oracle having Dinah keep a close eye on Slade, especially since he's using stolen Bat-tech.

It sounds less like a BoP thing and more that Dinah and Slade end up working for the same spy organization.
