Black Canary 2015 9

Black Canary barely escaped the army of martial artists who abducted her to a mysterious battleground! Unfortunately, they've followed her right back to Gotham City...but Batgirl owes her a favor or two!

"Dinah Lance hits the road! After years as a soldier and vigilante, the last place Dinah saw herself is on stage, but she's quickly learning she'd die to protect the gang of misfits she's fallen into. And she just might have to--for some reason, the newly rechristened band Black Canary seems to be a magnet for trouble, and Dinah's not gonna believe it when she finds out the reason why"--

Black Canary. Zatanna Zatara. Two of the DC Universe's brightest stars join forces to combat a deadly new threat-a chilling supernatural foe that preys on their weaknesses and unleashes their awesome powers against each other. A year ago, Black Canary infiltrated a gang of female criminals set to pull a dangerous heist at a Las Vegas casino. Its leader was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and with more than a passing interest in the occult, specifically black magic, one nasty customer. Rather than be taken by Canary or the law, she went to her death, vowing she would get revenge on Canary and her own former gang members. Now, a year to the day later, death stalks those gang members, and Canary must turn to her friend Zatanna to help investigate.

"Originally published in single magazine form in Green Arrow/Black Canary"--Colophon.

It's the deafening finale of the band's debut tour! Dinah will have to scream louder than she ever has before so loud that the walls of reality will crumble! It's gonna get crazy, folks.

The true scope of what Dinah's up against stands revealed-and it's an infernal evil that's out of this world! What did this sinister presence do to Dinah's missing mother and what horrible bargain has the mysterious white ninja made with it?

This mother-daughter story embraces the highs and lows of growing up without growing out of what makes us unique. It's an inspirational song that encourages readers to find their own special voices to sing along with Black Canary. Kirkus writes, ''reinforce(s) the girl-power aesthetic. . .''
