Black Canary #1 by Brenden Fletcher, Annie Wu, Lee Loughridge
4.0
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.
