Black Canary #4

[informationgeek]

Writers: Brenden Fletcher
Artist: Pia Guerra
Colorist: Lee Loughridge



Picking up from where the third issue left off (check this posting), we get an issue focused on Bo Maeve and learn more about her while she is kidnapping Ditto.



"I named the band 'Alas Insane.' I didn't ever tell Paloma and Byron what it meant. It was a joke my dad used to make about me. I wanted him to see it one day and know that I'd beaten him. I don't think they Paloma and Byron cared where the name came from, as long as we were totally slaying the crowds. Which we totally did... every single time we took stage."







However, her attempt at arson goes up in smoke (pun may have been intended. You decide) when she discovers Dinah putting out the flames with her screams. This further pisses her off, realizing that Dinah has a gift and something that she cannot possess.


Well...








Then suddenly we cut to the motel where Dinah is located! There...






This was a really good issue and man, I wish I could show more of it.

I don't think "Alas Insane" works as well as a pun as "Aladdin Sane."

So I guess Bo Maeve is more like an overgrown child with mental issues rather than a bonafide Mean Girl badperson? That's pretty cool.

So she's basically Dinah's personal Veronica Cale, except without the sparkling personality?

... who's the little boy.... and who is the white ninja? sarah?

[informationgeek]

The little boy is a little girl named Ditto, who seems to have some unusual powers. The posts that history and I did on the first three issues will explain her deal.

As for the white ninja... no idea. She's unknown currently (though I haven't read the fifth issue). She's pretty much a mystery at this point.

[shadowpsykie]

she could be the comics version of White Canary (aka Sarah Lance). how did Dinah come about Ditto?

[informationgeek]

Ditto was already apart of the band that Dinah was in. She was the guitarist.
