Ending with a life taken, although maybe not the one expected, and a bittersweet resolution, this issue is a strong one. As such, we get a tense, exciting issue with a compelling dark mirror version that’s still recognizable as Black Canary. This plot could just be another generic “evil counterpart of a good hero” story, but it’s not because Lanzing and Kelly obviously have a good handle on the character of Dinah (which bodes well for their Green Arrow run, hopefully). She wants to take Dinah back to the garage with her – while Ra’s wants Harley executed as an intruder. Harley Quinn, meanwhile, has found herself in a tight situation trying to infiltrate the Demon’s Head, as she usually does, and finds herself captured in the middle of Dinah’s battle with Ollie. There’s little buildup for how Dinah and Ollie became Ra’s servants and pitched rivals for the throne. However, I do think the issue suffers a bit from the feel that you’re coming in in the middle of the story.

You can see how otherwise heroic figures might feel the need to jump on with Ra’s instead. This is a good take, in that Ra’s comes off as sort of a necessary evil in the world of Luthor’s destructive takeover.

As Ra’s Al Ghul’s right-hand woman, she’s in line to potentially inherit the throne – but to get there she’ll have to take down her close ally and lover Oliver Queen. Dinah was a former member of the Garage and a hero, but now she’s apparently loyal to the Demon’s Head. Ray: In a change of pace, Gotham City Garage #10 is a full-length story focusing on Black Canary, Green Arrow, and Ra’s Al Ghul as they jockey for power in the wild and confusing world of the Garage.
