Book Review: Black Canary and Zantanna: Bloodspell by Paul Dini and Joe Quinones

A year ago Black Canary helped bust an all-feme cat burglar gang targeting a casino. Now the members of that gang are mysteriously dying–no, committing suicide. Is it really guilt driving them, or something else?

Canary enlists the help of sorceress supreme Zantanna, but in the process risks giving a vengeful evil control over one of the deepest well springs of magic enlisted in the JLA.

An entertaining, and somewhat more realistic look at being a superhero (at least compared to the uber menche Superman’s battles with cosmic beings) this stand alone graphic novel is a good introduction to Canary and Zantanna, two very overlooked heroines in the DC universe. Definitely recommended for collections and beginning comic fans.
