Birds of Prey #8: Black Canary's Darkest Secret

Huh. So what prompted Dinah to kill her hubby in the first place? This is sounding more like a Dinah Drake story. :/

My problem is figuring out how this issue related to the last. I mean, in #7, we leave with Dinah and Babs hugging it out over how the Choke situation went down only to find out that the guy Katana made into chop soui wasn't actually Choke; then, we get the Birds suddenly in this burning building with these super-villains and some weird hologram talking to them...it's like we just randomly skipped an issue.

I'm not sure either other than "filler issue that reveals more about DCnU Dinah's past."

I guess we'll find out after the Night of the Owls event, but hopefully it somehow ties in with the Choke storyline, which--as far as I can recall--wasn't concluded.

[darkknightjrk]

It's possible it'll tie-in later--the writer who's name I'll probably never be able to spell has definitely played around with perception and time with this book, but...if it was found out that he's been writing these in advance and when they asked for him to turn in #8 he turned in #9 or #10, I honestly don't think I'd be that surprised.

I really dig Batgirl in this book, rather than in her own title!
Any chance of having Babs moved here permanently and give the solo title back to Steph/Cass?? *pretty please DC?*

Or maybe even... Steph AND Cass? In the same book?? Together???

" We took this headshot of him as he was leaving a depressing movie. "

hmmm interesting... maybe she killed him because HE was a spy... i could see Dinah having had a past in espionage.

also i must say.... Starling is HOT. a woman who knows how to use a knife always gets me. Sadly... i'm not a straight man... or a lesbian... so it would never work with us.... hmmm maybe we can be BFF's.... if Canary doesn't kill me for moving in on her girl... then again... if i got babs on my side.....

Calling it now: he was a Talon or some member of the Court of Owls and she had to take him out.

And then we're going to find out he isn't actually dead and they're going to have to fight him in the next issue(s).

Ha, the look on Starlin's face when she's caught is awesome! Good art.
