Hairy Situation.
It begins a new three-part story, which is a direct continuation of the
Hunt for Oracle.
It's no wonder, since this is ended that Dinah gave up herself
for Blockbuster as Oracle. Well it is continuing here. Dinah is welcomed with
champagne.
Blockbuster has not chased Oracle for his stolen millions, but because
he has wanted to give her an assignment. In the background, Oracle (she is in
Robin's car for the moment) is despairs of course when she hears that
Blockbuster needs Dinah's non existing capabilities.
Along the way, Black Canary still has to stop, because Dinah has
forgotten something at the edge of the road.
Exactly, she is Lady Vic in the trunk, and she will also be needed for
this mission, but fortunately Dinah has remembered. (I Note that this car was
red in the Birds of Prey 21, and it was purple in Nightwing 46. Apparently,
each was colored by a different colorist.) Deathstroke and Gorilla Grimm also
join the small team.
Our heroes fly away into the sunset. Although, come to think of it, the
submarine chase was at night, in addition Africa is east to America, so I
prefer to fly to the sunrise. Now that they are on the way, it's the time that
Dinah finally learns the essence of the mission.
They go to Gorilla City to seek an appropriate heart donor for
Blockbuster, who needs Oracle (Dinah) as a living search engine to find Gorilla City and the donor with right DNA. About
the reason of participation of Deathstroke, it's only a few clichéd phrase
accompanied some knowing glances.
(Unfortunately the effect of the scene is completely killed by the
terrible drawing.)
The team arrives at the target site, so they jump. Oracle thinks that
it's the time to tell the most important ones to Dinah: Gorilla City is hidden
from before the satellites by something special technique, and if Canary would
identify its location, the Justice League would be grateful (Black Canary is a former member).
After the touchdown, Lady Vic thinks that it is time to betray to Dinah
what means those telling glimpses of the first:
Deathstroke is here to avenge his ex-wife, who killed by Grodd, the
gorilla king. He needs the girls only to found Gorilly City,
afterwards they will on the to bypass list.
Now it is the time that Black Canary is flashing her (non-existing)
computer whiz capabilities. But no worries, Oracle picks up things on the net
and while she even tells Canary what words she says. There is a little slip
with this. When Oracle guest, Ted Kord (alias is Blue Beetle if someone does
not remember) arrives, she exclaims with delight that "Ted" and
Dinah, of course, says this also to the others, but then somehow she
rationalizes it away :)
However, neither Dinah nor Oracle do not find the track of Gorilla
City by the computer, so they start off by the help of Gorilla Grimm.
But they are expected to.
It has started a new story, so Chuck Dixon spares no plot nor gags for
us, although exceptionally the story now only runs on only one thread. However,
it is no action, but he always uses to open the new stories by something action
scene. Although it is true that this is a semi-sequel. Butch Guice is worse
than usual, unfortunately, his draws are totally sketchy. Not to mention that
faces of Lady Vic Dinah are totally same. I have not engaged in the colorists
until now, but now apparently we got a new one in the person of Shannon
Blanchard. And I must comment what she does: Guice somehow has been good in the
dark-toned images, and Blanchard fills up all irritatingly bright colors, just
to be even more terrible is the result: ( ( She thankfully backs on herself at
the night scene at the end.)
Canary mentions, when she sees Deathstroke was, that Slade tried to kill
her at their most recent encounter. She thought what happened in the
Brotherhood of the Fist.
