    Black Canary 12 Review – Close the curtains

    Black Canary 12 Review – Close the curtains

    Cover

    Cover A

    The cover A is best of this series at least for me. We see Black Canary being cover by Lord Byron with some fabric (because this is final issue). Also the Art style in this cover are pretty good. Especially with the colors even with few colors this looks amazing.

    Cover B

    There isn’t Cover B on this issue.

    Plot

    Where it start? So after being stabbed, Dinah begins to see her future. As singer and her personal life especially with Green Arrow and their child and even she sees her mother as vison or as ghost where she explain how to use The Five Heavens Palm. And Ditto uses her power to travel back to present (she is young but she still remember what happens in the future) and heals her. Then Black Canary´s teams fights the Ravanhatha and his army (the demon creature and main villain of this arc). Where Dinah uses The Five Heavens Palm on him which destroys him. Apparently Kurt Lance (possibly of old age) and Dinah pays her respects to him which Amanda Waller also appears to pay her respect to him and tells she isn’t there to fight and apparently she doesn’t remember who Ditto is? (Since she wanted her in last arc). The comic ends with Dinah passing the position of Main vocalist to Maeve Bo and she leaves the stage. Also Dinah´s name seems to be Dinah Drake Lance and not Dinah Drake or Dinah Drake-Lance.

    Art Style

    The Art Style is pretty good. The colors and characters look nice and even cameo characters such Wonder Woman and Supergirl, also in way older Dinah Lance looks great. Also Black Canary (Dinah Drake) and Justice League International´s Black Canary also makes cameo during the Five Heaven Palm and they both look alike they usually looked.

    The Good

    The Plot is resolved

    Since this issue is last issue, the plot somewhat resolve. While it´s the last issue, somethings are open to be used with others writers if they want to use it again. Also Maeve replaces Dinah as Main vocalist because she will be busy with Green Arrow and Birds of Prey at least so far.

    The Bad

    Timeline now is pointless

    So Future Timeline seems pointless with Rebirth since it was shown in Batgirl in the Birds of Prey and this issue that she isn’t no longer the singer (with Maeve being the main singer) but she is working as bodyguard which in possible future, she continues to be a singer. Also because she knows that she probably married Green Arrow and actually has daughter with him, explains why she went to meet Green Arrow in Rebirth.

    Ditto´s Powers

    Even although it´s been explained that her powers are sound base, her powers either make truly overpower or “Does whatever Writer wants” since she could heal Dinah from being dead, something that she never did it.

    Score

    3/5
