Short, but somewhat interesting. I thought it would be more "Arrow" style, but I guess it will come later on?

This is a really interesting take on Black Canary. Dinah joins a band and during every show, things end up getting a bit...out of hand. She's trashed most of the venues they've played at and now there are monsters showing up. Keeping her past from her new band mates is no longer an option, so she sets out to train them while her secrets unravel.

I really liked the art in Black Canary #1 and the story was OK as far as first issues go. It didn't completely sell me on the series however. I've read the next two issues as well, and neither of them made me want to say "OMG I WANT MORE" either but at the same time, I am intrigued as to where the story is going and will probably keep reading for now.

An introduction that got me wanting more! That’s always rare for me. Maybe it’s the music element in this? Either way, I’m hooked and will be continuing this series!

Wow, did the Arrowverse shortchange Canary or what? I knew Dinah was a badass from her occasional Batgirl visits, but it's nice to see her in her element. Annie Wu's art took me a while to appreciate, but it works pretty well with the rock'n'roll style and there are some truly striking panels. Looking forward to reading more.

I thought I'd love the new run of Black Canary - and I was right. Between the writing by Brenden Fletcher and the art by Annie Wu (who is absolutely amazingly talented), the story of a rock 'n roll Dinah Lance touring around with the band Black Canary is so fun and entertaining. Plus, the first issue perfectly sets up the mystery of this run while acting as a great jumping off point for readers new to the character. Can't wait to read more!

I really loved the sketch-like quality of the art. It gave the story a hurried, gritty feeling. It's very stylized and, yet, emotive.
It's been years since I regularly read comics/graphic novels and the new Black Canary is very different from what I expected. Dinah is still a butt-kicking heroine, but the silly getup makes more sense now as a stage costume for a band. There is a lot of music in this and a lot of fight scenes minus the one-liners I'm used to. The fights are gritty and realistic with the focus on the action and not unnecessary dialogue.
The mystery kept building up to the end, when one question got answered another got asked. it was quite suspenseful. Why was Dinah picked for the band? Why was the previous singer kicked out? Why is the label investing so much into such a new band? And who is Ditto? (none of these were spoilers, they were the the first ones asked).
It was a great read and far different than what I expected. I really enjoyed it.

Black Canary is almost like Oskar from The Tin Drum becomes a martial artist woman, becomes a Superhero, joins the band from Snowcrash, and fights aliens. Good fun!
