Black Canary: Best of the Best, Black Canary gets kicked in the ass. She is fighting Shiva in a match where you have to surrender or die in the ring. In the final issue, Batman was featured in the killer training scene, but things are different in this week’s issue. In Black Canary: Best of the Best #4, Black Canary also acquires the edge of the ring, so the green arrows take up oxygen.
First of all, it’s great to see Black Canary, also known as Dyna, once take the lead. Some of the last issues were cruel as Shiva mercilessly beat her. Even her trainer was sent to the hospital! This makes this issue very enjoyable as I was waiting for the other shoes to fall off. Ryan Souk moves to the points you may cheer you on as you read the comics and make you feel like all the punches and battles.
The dialogue of writer Tom King’s sportscasting also counted Black Canary, which is fun to read as he struggles with his desire to change his mind even when Black Canary wins. Their one-liner continues to add a bit of humor to the view.
However, the battle commentary feels unnecessary. Sometimes there was a lot of it and I was wondering if it needed to be there, or at least cut back.
Black Canary: Best of the Best #4 begins with a superhero party where the battle is being watched. Green Arrow is putting up a quick chat with Hal Jordan, a decent segue to Green Arrow, who plays the main role in the issue’s flashback.

While important to Black Canary’s DNA, these flashbacks are a bit off the left field. Although Green Arrow appeared in the series, in this issue it appears that they are forced to see how they got to know each other early. The scene isn’t bad, but it doesn’t seem to be that important to this story. Maybe something will be revealed later about its importance.
The biggest point about this story is how the two of them humanize the Black Canary mother a bit while texting. Sook has a cool layout using a phone screen as a panel when text goes back and forth.
By the end of the question, the ongoing mystery of whether Black Canary takes a dive is preserved, but for the most part, this issue feels like a pit stop to the way she encountered Green Arrow .
Just as Ryan Souk’s dynamic artwork makes all the blow resonance, Black Canary finally tides with fierce battles and an undeniable grit display. Tom King’s playful sportscasting dialogue keeps you energy high even in the midst of chaos. Despite the excitement, the problem is not without its flaws. The over-explanatory and the flashbacks of the intrusive green arrows serve as a narrative detour that dilutes the momentum of Black Canary’s ongoing narrative advances.
