    Dinah Lances latest round hits readers with some very strong combos. King drives home the power of family with the writing. Sook and Stewart mix up the stunning drama with big action. Readers had better prepare for the bell to ring next chapter. Expectations are at an all time high after this one. Read Full Review

    Black Canary: Best of the Best #5 continues to deliver emotional weight and intense action, deepening Dinah's journey with a brilliant use of flashbacks and a brutal showdown with Lady Shiva.

    There are two things that are good about this issue and for that matter the entire series. After some awkward moments in the first issue, I think Ryan Sook found his way with this book. The cover to this issue is especially nice and the interiors are good as well. Seeing both Canaries together looks great. Some of the moments with Dinah and her mom are solid. Were they told in a different context they would resonate more. And, if they seemed to fit in better with previous versions of her history.
