OMG, there's going to be a series! I didn't know this... please tell me the artist will be Amnda Connor, like it was on the GA/BC Wedding Special.
Speaking of said special, I **RILLLLY** enjoyed it, it was quite hilarious and had a KILLER shock ending, leadng into the ongoing.
As Silver Age fan who grew up in the 70s, it may surprise you to find I didn't mind Black Canary and Green Arrow NOT being a couple. In particular, I felt it helped Dinah make the leap to stardom she always seemed not quit able to make.
So the special was awesome, and I'm totally looking forward to the ongoing. Anyone else?
I liked the special, too, but I wasn't so crazy about the art. I think a more serious style might have worked better with that script. That said, the cover is one of my favourite pictures ever.

Conner has said she's not quite a monthly artist. But she does some great work, and she'd be a fit for this book. Maybe get someone else to draw 3 issues a year, or rotate like they did with the GL series.

I'm looking forward to it, but with reservations. I'm not really into that the married the two of them. I liked that they had flings with other people over the years.
I liked the special, but like I said, some of it was a little too cheesy for me. The strip club scene a little, but actually, the fight more than anything. But Amanda's art was just plain awesome. Dinah looked super-hot (I'm sure the men looked good too) and Amanda does such a cool job with facial expressions.
I'm only worried about Winnick writing a married Dinah and Ollie. I want more 'busting up drug dealers' than I do 'no, you take out the trash!'.

If Winick is writing it, I won't read it. Why did they have Tony Bedard do only the Black Canary mini-series? I think he understands these characters a lot better than Winick.

There's an interview with Winick up. I was wondering why Ollie's not on the cover for issue one. Looks like you won't have to put up with "taking out the trash" moments for awhile, Cobie.

Click Here For A Spoilerit's Connor and not Ollie. I've never been much of an Ollie fan.

I really liked the special, mostly for the art (Connor draws very sexy men and women and manages to show emotion really well even in her slighlty more cartoony style. I especially loved PG with the hottie under her arm during the hen night). Admittedly then ending was a little silly since Click Here For A SpoilerDinah is one of the top martial artists of the DCU *and* has here Canary Cry so there were any number of ways she could have incapactitated Ollie without killing him even if she had been drinking or something but I can live with it. Hopefully it'll get fully explained right off the bat though (which seems to be the case from that interview).

Editorial Fiat, is my guess. I think we'll find that:
Click Here For A SpoilerOllie is not dead.
Truth be told, I'm not really interested in them sharing a title. I'd rather read about one or the other in their own book with the other as a supporting character. And with Winnick involved, my interest drops that much more.

Well originally it was meant to be Dinah not Ollie, according to the interview. Whether that's true or not I don't know but either way I suspect you're right in that it was an editorial thing. I also suspect you're right about Ollie and his situation.

Well I was a Connor Hawke fan. I'm glad they didn't kill him off. Sure Ollie is an icon but does he sell comics? When he gets a star writer or artist he does. Get star creative teams on legacy characters and they will sell well also.
I'm glad Connor is going to get the limelight again.

I liked both GA characters. I'm glad to see Connor getting some more air time. And Dinah's recent reinvigoration (credit where credit is due- Thanks Gail Simone!) has earned her a title. With fans of both characters, this should guarantee a success.
