Oh Hal, its ok, just hug your regrets away. Regrets that involve abandoning a young drug addict that you've known for... well forever. No biggie. All's forgotten (somewhere in the background I hear Borat screaming NOT)
and as a side note, while I understand that yes Roy was an addict, and yes it was a big part of his past, does anyone else notice that this isn't the first time they've brought up the druggie past when he makes any sort of transition, whether its a new costume, or name, or just general change to his life.
Example:
speedy
though to be fair, they did only bring that up in a brief way

They also mention it in the new Titans issue when he decides to move into a bigger place for Lian's sake, and he's going through all his stuff and finds a picture of his band and then all of a sudden, we're waltzing down memory lane once more.

But I really like the first 2 scans and the art as well.

Oh, God.

I can't look at Hal and Dinah tearing up at Roy in the Red Arrow costume without imagining them thinking "Oh, dear. That costume's so ugly. It's truly terrible. My God, I'm crying at how bad it is. Just, real tears, jeez."

Exactly. I think it's fairly attractive. And a guy who does what Roy does WOULD be built.

Yeah, pulling bow strings isn't easy. lol I tried ._.

Even the ones with all the high-tech pullies and light-weight materials that are suppose to make it easy still require some force. o_o

Yeah, that was the kicker at the end of that old Hawkeye miniseries - the bad guy got the bow away from Clint, "say goodbye sucker - bzuh?!?" and Clint is all, what, you can't pull a 400-lb. pressure line? *bops bad guy*

It's an older idea than that: see the end of the Odyssey, where Odysseus is the only one who can use his bow.

Heh. In Kevin Smith's introduction to the trade collection of Quiver, he mentions the only piece of real-world research he did for the story: trying to pull back a modern bow. Once.

Really? Ollie has those silly, useless arm strap things, and his gloves look like a jenga session, and he's got straps on his torso to keep his bulging biceps from ripping his clothes open?

And just because its "the same costume in a different color" doesn't mean it's good. Or the Batman of Zen-Ur-Arr would not look ridiculous.

Ollie has similar straps, yes. And that Batman costume is kind of an extreme comparison.
