Episode 12: New 52 Canary

Looking at the troubled and terrible history of Black Canary in the New 52 era. An overview of her awful stories in Birds of Prey and horrible stories in Team 7, with a review of her tale in the recent Secret Origins #11.

On the plus side, we get a preview of Dinah's new series which puts her up front and on stage fronting a band called Black Canary. This looks much better!

Also, an exclusive sneak preview of the upcoming SECRET ORIGINS PODCAST, reviewing the post-Crisis Secret Origins series.
