Black Canary

Detective Comics #1109

/ / Comics

After stopping for some flashbacks with the young hero Prion training with Batman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow, Detective Comics #1109 picks up the thread from the last issue’s cliffhanger ending with Green Arrow saving himself after being thrown off a skyscraper by a deceptively skilled girl (who apparently is also Prion and works for Prion?). Oliver’s actions to save himself are narrated by Batman who, after managing to pull him to safely, the archer finds waiting for him and willing to help “if necessary.”

A follow-up to Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, a new mini-series kicks off with Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 setting the two heroes (who are struggling with their swapped powers) in New Kooey. Most of the issue involves showcasing the town and Ice struggling with not understanding her new more destructive fire powers. Fire seems a bit more in control but at a loss on what to do with her new ice-based powers.

Black Canary: Best of the Best #1
