I&#8217;m one of the few people that actually liked this Black Canary costume.\u00a0 The more I think about it, I believe I&#8217;ve liked every Black Canary costume.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

really cool characters (i.e. Reverse Flash, Guy Gardner, and Adam Strange), the detail quality and paint jobs are often disappointing.\u00a0 This Doctor Fate came out really nice.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s
