    Is she in Green Arrow? Obviously I'm kind of out of the loop concerning Green Arrow (not that I'm ashamed of that).

    not to give too much away, but Canary and Arrow are not on the best terms right now. She is not appearing in his comic (or his life).

    don't worry, they'll probably be back together some day. they've had their tough times before: like when Ollie cheated on her (multiple times), or when Ollie killed that guy (multiple times), or when Ollie got himself blown up (just once so far :-) )

     well, i'm not sure if he ever 'officially' cheated on her, but he was kind of a jerk.

    the homeless girl who worked in their flower shop, Marianne, had been hitting on him and kissed him during a party when Black Canary walked in. I think that's when she dumped him the first time. He said that it was all a misunderstanding but then slept with Marianne pretty shortly after they broke up. that happened in Grell's 80's series.

    Then he slept with Black Lightning's niece and got her killed by Drakon shortly after coming back to life in Kevin Smith/Judd Winick series. I'm not sure if they were officially back together by that point, but it was still a sleezy move.

    Also in the 80's comic, he conceived a child (not of his own free will) with the assassin Shado, although I'm not sure if he was dating Dinah when that happened...

    @humanfly26: Hmm, yeah that's sort of debatable. Plus, I don't think we can acknowledge anything that was written by Kevin Smith.

    same.  She does seem to be the main focus of Birds of prey though- at least at the moment.

    @wickedwillow:
    Me too. Do you also feel the series isnt very new reader friendly? I jumped on because I thought it would be a good place to start, but it seems they're dealing with characters and events from the previous BOP volume. Regadless I love all the characters and Simone is one of my favorite writers.

    In the past she's appeared with the JLA and JSA. But not anymore. Still, the current Birds of Prey series is a good read.

    Didn't she have her own series a few times? They were mini series but it still counts right =D 
     
    Also to those who have read the new Birds of Prey, how badly do I have to read Blackest Night and Brightest Day to understand what's going on? I have all the new BoP issues but I'm scared I'll be out of the loop. So happy they brought that back and Dinah really needs her own ongoing series. Also keep her away from Ollie. Hate Green Arrow.

    I don't think so.
