Black Canary mini written by Tony Bedard, art by Paulo Sequeira(who did some Birds of Prey issues but I don't recall which issues off the top of my head so I don't know how good a thing that is...thumbnails look ok, though)

Upside?  Back Canary mini written by Bedard.

Downside?  Dunno, really.  I see Dinah still has the kid in tow and...well...ok, when Sin grows up and starts superheroing, she's going to rock.  But right now she irritates me.  Though I'd rathe have her than Misfit, who annoys the *hem* out of me...I really don't care for the "fannish stalkerish superhero groupie extension of  self who worms way into team" charactertype...only exception is Hindsight Lad, and that took a long time and unlike Gail with Misfit, Fabes never thought he was cute or endearing, and it makes a huge difference. Course, Marvel completely and utterly destroyed Hindsight by making him no good OOC wretched treacherous DIEDIEDIe scum and...STOP! BAD MEGS! HAPPY POST! HAPPY!

BLACK CANARY MINI!
NEW COMIC I CARE ABOUT!
YAY!

*avoids the deep dark pit of Marvel hate just inches from her feet.*

Wow...two non anime/manga/dorama posts in a row.  *shiny*

*I have no Black canary icons and this is the closest thing I have, and that's only because Yuya is blonde.  Yeah, I suck.*

Would this be a good place to continue the BOTI discussion? If you're game, I am.

The thing about BotI is that most of them ARE fighters to their core. Rin and Hyakurin aren't but they're good against your average guy. Giichi really isn't either, I don't think, but I always has someone to protect and to fight for...first his son, then Hyakurin's freedom and that compensates for it. Abayama is debatable, but I rather think he'd be happy NOT fighting, he's just a bit of a softie who's worried about the tounguns and FAR too deadly to not have on your side, ditto for Sorii. But Manji, Magatsu, Anotsu, and Makie? Even if they try to tell themselves otherwise, they'll never be happy without conflict.

I'm not so sure about Makie, really. She clearly has an immense talent for it, but in her personality, she doesn't seem like much of a fighter?
Abayama is pretty old, so that has probably mellowed him out some. But yeah, Manji, Magatsu and Anotsu are clearly of the restless kind.
