    Default New Avengers #56 makes me weep for Black Canary

    http://comics.ign.com/articles/101/1015851p1.html

    Basically, the New Avengers have lost their powers and have to face off against a group of baddies. Clint is down to for some reason so Mockingbird steps up to kick some ass while the others are down...

    And it makes me sad that the Black Canary stand-in is being portrayed as far more competent and able to handle a situation than Black Canary herself is these days (and Bobbi has spent the last couple of years Marvel-time locked up as an alien prisoner).
    The monster saved them all. And in their fear, they betrayed him. As they always have. As they always will.

    Why what happened to Black Canary?

    At least she appears in comics. Try being a Huntress fan!

    Dodgy plotting and the editors playing too much Wii.

    (Though I wonder why the new Captain America, who has no powers and only a bionic arm, is down too.)

    Sadly this still makes more sense than anything I've heard about the Green Arrow & Black Canary stories in the past few years.

    Mockingbird was always awesome, from her appearance in Marvel Team-up, to her next appearance in the first Hawkeye mini-series(and her and Clint getting married in it too) to the West Coast Avengers.

    I missed her. Her recent mini was great.

    Yeah I traditionally hate Black Canaryesque knock-offs, but the fact that my Canary is being reduced to eye candy for Green Arrow. I may just start gobbling up Mockingbird stuff.

    The double irony is that Bobbi's first superheroine identity was called...

    ...The Huntress.

    Huntress is supposed to be a major character in the Question backup series in a few months.

    She's also in Streets of Gotham, at the moment. So as I said before, try being a Lady Blackhawk fan.

    She had a cameo in Secret Six a few months back, I think. And Azzarello is doing a series about an Earth populates soley by non-poweredpulp heroes from the 40's, and I think he said the Blackhawks will be in it.

    And of course, she'll probably show up a few more times in JLA, chained to Hal Jordan's bed along with Huntress and Snapper Carr.:rolleyes:
