Shawn White's Profile

This is the one that finally made me drop this book. I can't stand the reinvention of Black Canary as the domestically abusive man hating millennial. I almost quit in issue 9 when after Oliver lost all of his money, was almost murdered by his sister, lost his family home, Black Canary yells at Oliver to stop feeling sorry for himself.

I also got tired of BC constantly calling Oliver dum b multiple times in every issue. Her meanness has sapped the joy out of this series.

In this issue BC asked Oliver what he was feeling and then when he answered she stated that "she would forgive him for mansplaining".

She would forgive him for answering her after she asked a question. How loving. I'm sure this appeals to some people. I'm not judging. I just enjoyed previous iterations of these characters where they were loving and supportive of each other.more
