In the story, Black Canary is on the hunt for Deathstroke following the death of Ra's al Ghul, to bring him to justice before Talia al Ghul's assassins get him first. Unfortunately, one of those assassins is her best and former student, Angel Breaker! Who is this deadly killer and what's her history with Black Canary?
According to the solicitation, this story will have "major ramifications" for Black Canary in Shadow War Omega, which will be released in May.
"We're introducing a new character in Shadow War: Alpha, Angel-Breaker," Williamson explained in a recent interview with CBR. "She plays a major role in "Shadow War" and has a run-in with Black Canary. One of the short stories in Shadow War Zone #1 is Black Canary versus Angel-Breaker because Oracles tell Canary that if [Talia is] killing anyone that's worked with Deathstroke, she's on the list. That's what brings Black Canary into it, but she also kind of feels responsible for it. Once she figured out what was going on it all happens so fast. Deathstroke Inc. #3-6 is all literally one night of their life. The moment she could tell the Justice League what was going on she did, but there's part of her that thinks she should've thrown Deathstroke off that cliff. She's going to have her own guilt and that's going to get pulled into "Shadow War" and the Dark Crisis stuff that we're planning."
