First Unlettered Preview from Black Canary: Best of the Best #2 by Ryan Sook
Sook really just operating on another level here. There are so many DC books this year with amazing art, but even among them, this is something else.
Later this month, DC Comics will launch Black Canary: Best of the Best, a six-issue series that pits the title character against assassin Lady Shiva in a no-holds-barred, bare-knuckle brawl to determine who is the best hand-to-hand fighter in the DC Universe. But as we discovered during an interview with writer Tom King and artist Ryan Sook about the book, behind the scenes it’s a veritable love fest.
“Tom King,” Sook said over Zoom, when asked him what interested him about the character, and book. “First thing was Tom King. I’ve been looking for an excuse to work with Tom for a long time.”
Added King later on in the chat, “I have trust in Ryan, I know his art. I’ve spent a decade reading his stuff and buying it, putting it on my wall.”
Clearly, the duo is excited to work with each other, and on this book, which finds Dinah Lance in the fight of her life, for very good reasons that will become apparent when reading the first issue. While that’s still a few weeks off — issue #1 hits stores on November 27 — we sat down to discuss the surprising inspiration for the book, how the fights differ from your typical superhero comic book fights, and more. Plus, read all the way to the end for a special look ahead at Black Canary: Best of the Best #2.
