The story is cliched -- I've seen this "kid discovers they have powers" many times before == and the manga-styled art can be hard to follow as it places surface style over substance.

THIS WAS STUNNING. I love the DC comics and was very happy to get this. Thank you so much for this! I really hope more young people pick up graphic novels!

Bought this book for our library and couldn't put it down! Then again I love everything by Meg Cabot! Can't wait to read more

Generic story and art work. I may not have been the intended audience, but this did not hold up for how excited I was to read it. The upside was it was a quick read, just not as fun as I had hoped

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to download this book via my Box account, thus couldn't leave a review. I also forgot to contact the Marketing person about it.

Giving it 3 stars since Meg Cabot always does a good story, but since I wasn't able to read it, I can't give it a better or worse review.

Love Meg Cabot, and loved the illustrations. I'm not typically a DC fan, but this intrigued me enough that I'm starting to dip my toes into the DCU.

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for the advance copy of this book!

I loved this book. I am HUGE Black Canary fan so when I seen this! I hate to request it. The atmosphere was everything I wanted it to be. I loved the plot and storyline in the book. I loved the characters in this story. It gave me all the feels I was looking for when I started reading this. I highly recommend this author. I loved the writing. I will be looking for other works in the future from this author.

I was nervous about this one because I wasn't super fond of the Raven book, then I loved the Harley Quinn book, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one. The direction of these DC spinoff graphic novels is a bit bumpy. That said, this book was an instant buy for my school library and it is one of the good titles in this series.

“Black Canary: Ignite” by Meg Cabot is a good middle grade read that follows the main character, Dinah, as a teenager in school. Dinah must balance school, family, and her powers all while discovering herself. This was a cute comic that is perfect for middle grade readers. It has a strong message of girl power. It also contains some super cute artwork.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick fun read. I liked how The black canary was passed down. I like how the Batgirl captured Joker.

A quick and easy middle school read for graphic novel or Marvel Universe lovers, featuring a character that doesn't already have several books or media franchises attached to her name. While I was excited to see a Black Canary graphic novel merely for the main character, there's not a lot of character development and growth for Dinah. She can come off as whiney and thoughtless.

I loved this!!!! Told through the voice of Dinah, seemingly ordinary girl who likes to sing and rock a guitar in a girl band. Little does she know her mother has secret and its gonna flip her world upside down! Face-paced, middle school story that is SUPER all the way through!!

As a fan of Meg Cabot back when I was a teen, I decided to look harder at this book and when I learned who Black Canary is and her power, I decided to take a chance. 

This book is so much fun. I was happy reading it. It is mostly fluff and feel good, but there is the trials of middle school here as well as Dinah comes to terms with her powers and has to learn how to juggle powers and her normal life. I did like that there are good friendships and Dinah has a good relationship with her parents. 

A light-hearted and fun book!

In the newest DC Zoom novel, Black Canary is re-imagined as a young teen coming to terms with her family and the possibilities of her future. All Dinah Lance really wants to do win the Battle of the Bands and grow up to work for the Gotham City PD like her father. She didn't consider how having superpowers, even really cool ones, factors into any of that. Cabot makes her struggles with her powers feel relatable to the audience. Artist Cara McGee's style lends a lot to the story, keeping the art tight and the action moving.

While the content was a little light for teens, the book is great for a slightly younger audience. It's a great addition to the DC YA line of books!

I enjoyed this graphic novel. This isn’t my usual genre but I am trying to be more diverse in what I read and this fit that bill. It was good and I think a younger reader (younger than this empty nest mom) would enjoy it much more than I did.

I loved the girl power, super hero vibe and I see this as a great start to a series of books like this. Who knew Meg Cabot has such varied talent!

It was an enjoyable way to spend a little time and fall into the super hero world.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the DC Boom line, introducing characters that might not be so well-known to a middle grade audience. Meg Cabot did a great job in showing Dinah as a confused tween with a developing power that seems to get her into trouble even when she tries to be good. She still have similar characteristics as her adult version, but in a more kid appropriate version. I liked that the band was included and, of course, there is a triumphant ending. This would be one to recommend to any kid who wants to learn about superheroes, interesting young female characters, or loves music in their fiction.

Action, adventure and awesome illustrations!
Thanks to DC Comics and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Black Canary Ignite by Meg Cabot, illustrated by Cara McGee. This seven chapter graphic novel tells the story of Detective Lance’s daughter, Dinah. Dinah’s mother is the Black Canary and she helped fight crime before Dinah was born. Dinah has inherited her mother’s Canary Cry, a supersonic voice. Dinah tries to control her power but it’s not easy. Fun origin story full of action, adventure and colorful illustrations, 5 stars!

4 1/2 stars

So this is a first for the microcosm: I’m reviewing a graphic novel! Of course, it’s a Meg Cabot graphic novel and I will read anything that Meg Cabot writes so . . . And, since I’ve never reviewed a graphic novel before, please excuse any floundering.

On the surface a graphic novel looks a lot like a comic book so I looked to see what the difference is between the two and found a great explanation at Knowledge Nuts:

Graphic novels are much longer and tend to be much more complex. While a comic book will tell a story over many issues, graphic novels more often have their storylines wrapped up in only one or two books.

Meg Cabot’s Black Canary: Ignite comes in at 144 pages with a fun storyline taking place in Gotham City and with wonderful illustrations by Cara McGee.

Black Canary: Ignite starts with 13 year-old Dinah Lance discovering that she has super powers, not exactly the kind that she’d like but super powers nonetheless. She can blow things up with her voice.

When a criminal that her mother and father put away escapes from prison, bent on revenge, Dinah saves the day.

This graphic novel is filled with a touch of teenage angst, supportive and realistic best friends, and mean adversaries. It’s a fun start to what I presume is a new series. Dinah Lance definitely finds her voice!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was book was way better than I thought it was gonna be. The art was well done and I loved the superhero elements. I can't wait for future tales in this series.

Well dang that was really short. I loved the story line. It was a very good origin story for Black Canary and I Ike the setting she is placed in so that she can appeal to a younger audience. This graphic novel has all the great elements of a novel but ease of reading a comic book. The illustrator did a wonderful job and the colors are so catchy I could not put it down.
