Weekly Question – Best Black Canary 06/23/16
Black Canary. A legacy character like no other. With DC’s loosey goosey wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, is a founding member of both the Justice Society and multiple iterations of the Justice League, partered with multiple folks, other teams, alligened with pretty much everyone from Batman to Green Arrow to the Blackhawks and all points in between. She’s even been a rock star in her most recent iteration.
As per the course, however, many people may know Canary from the Arrow TV show. Now, I’m not even done with season one, so I understand the mantle has been passed around and changed quite a bit since debuting.
She also took part in one of the standout scenes in one of the most underrated series of the early ’00s, JLA Year One, by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson.
So our question to you, dear listener, what is the best Black Canary? Best version? Best story? Whatever!

We’ll compile up all the answers and talk about them on next week’s show!
Pre 52 Birds of Prey Black Canary was my favorite. I felt like she was clicking on all cylinders and very well rounded.
I really like Gail Simone’s Black Canary but I do love the band leader Canary who’s hanging out with Batgirl of Burnside.
