Paul Dini offers up a story that requires absolutely no previous character knowledge to read. Paul Dini and Joe Quinones teaming up for Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell was a dream team that I didn’t know I wanted. Sometimes they’re incredible and sometimes it seems like the whole idea was a fleeting thought. One-off original graphic novels can be hit and miss. Female characters can be put in a book but without the right team to make them compelling, the sales will plummet. Not only are they being given books but they’re being given creative teams that can do these characters justice and make them worth reading about. A, B and C list characters are given books of their very own and being given the chance to be embraced by the current generation of readers and the new generation of readers. The last couple of years have heralded a change in the comic book industry and I think for the better. Let it be known that anyone saying that there aren’t any superhero books for women are clearly not looking.
