Most writers faced with dealing with a couple turn one into the saviour and the other into the savee, unless one is "actually evil all along." Bedard had a decent balance, but largely made Ollie into the Savee. Now it looks like this guy is pushing Canary into the damsel in distress mode.<BR/><BR/>They're even doing the same thing in New Avengers with Hawkeye and Mockingbird. they show Mockingbird as able to hold her own against clint, but she's afraid of the big scary world and clint will protect her, but it looks like she'll be pulling the "evil all along" trick as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384325353564511105.post-69122487999787141672009-01-24T21:09:00.000-05:002009-01-24T21:09:00.000-05:00Judd Winick isn't a writer I love or hate.

I really miss the classic BOP. It's sad that the series is ending. My hope is that after BATTLE FOR THE COWL, BOP will be back better than before - with Gail in charge again. I don't think SECRET SIX will be around too long, freeing up Gail to return to the birds she made soar.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526575110311116038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384325353564511105.post-2006119280891453972009-01-23T18:48:00.000-05:002009-01-23T18:48:00.000-05:00I will always have a soft spot for Black Canary, s...I will always have a soft spot for Black Canary, she's quite an interesting character but sometimes writers have a hard time trying to make her interesting. She's way more than just the wife, that's for sure. And her run in Birds of Prey was amazing. She should have stayed there. I kind of lost track of Green Arrow & Black Canary, and I think that's just because the books isn't that enthralling.<BR/><BR/>The current JLA stories are a little odd and I don't trust McKeever(?) very much. She's portrayed a little of a facist and that's so not her.Christian Zamorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412716939916996287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384325353564511105.post-3725544531518210842009-01-23T13:29:00.000-05:002009-01-23T13:29:00.000-05:00Even back during the Hard Traveling Heroes days, C...Even back during the Hard Traveling Heroes days, Canary was NOT someone to mess with.
