“Bitter Fruit, Part 1”

In "Bitter Fruit, Part 1," Dinah Lance faces a personal crossroads as an old acquaintance’s struggles with crop dusting and immigration bring unexpected tension into her life. With the Black Canary costume—its signature black collar now burned—symbolizing a past she’s stepping away from, Dinah’s journey takes a quiet, grounded turn. Written by Sharon Wright and illustrated by Randy DuBurke, with inks by Pablo Marcos and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this issue captures a moment of reflection in the life of a hero in transition. Brian Bolland’s striking cover completes the look of a story that’s as much about legacy as it is about letting go.
