Catching up on recent releases, I feel compelled to extol how good Black Canary: Best of the Best really is. Art: great. Writing: great. Premise: Great. Actual plot: Great.
I had simply assumed until now, that there would be some contrived garbage plot device that lowered Shiva to Black Canary's level. But if issue #5 is the series' penultimate issue, it doesn't seem that way. *knock on wood*
If this series' conclusion relies on that, I will be 10,000% disappointed. But 5 of 6 issues in, it doesn't look that way. And if it follows through all the way, Tom King may be top 3 comic writers of all time for me, personally.
^ I adored Ryan Sook's art in Seven Soldiers: Zatanna. And I initially felt by comparison, that Sook's art here felt like it was derivative of Frank Cho's.
But it's still great. And it's like my only quibble with this series. A wholly personal (and admittedly impertinent, even shallow) one.
I get art-styles change. I just feel the same way about R.B. Silva's current art in One World Under Doom. I very much preferred his previous art-style in Powers of X, etc. -- which I admit totally aped Stuart Immonen's art-style in the first place. But R.B. Silva's current art strikes me as uncompromisngly stiff... as it were almost computer-model guided like Brandon Peterson's.
Anyway, this is needless rambling. Black Canary: Best of the Best is great. Hopefully it sticks the landing.
Originally posted by ShadowFyreHaven't even read the comic but relying solely on the panel-by-panel sequence you posted... not only is Laura a legit bullet-timer but... Bucky is also (arguably).
She is a bullet timer in talking for sure
I could complain that the concept of "true bullet-timing" is being eroded as comics go on but, y'know... even I can admit that sounds like a b1tch-a$$ boomer argument, mang.
