DC's October solicitations are up at Newsarama.

GREEN ARROW & BLACK CANARY #25
Written by Andrew Kreisberg
Art by Renato Guedes, Mike Norton, José Wilson Magalhães & Bill Sienkiewicz
Cover by Ladrönn
The main story this month focuses on the sudden and strange return of Green Arrow! Of course, we’re talking about the Green Arrow that Black Canary stabbed on her wedding night!
And in this issue’s co-feature, Black Canary is stunned to find that Cupid can’t tell the difference between the two Green Arrows – which could lead to one of the deadliest Super-Villain teams of all time!
On sale October 14 • 40 pg, FC, $3.99 US
An Everyman and Cupid team up. Because youactively called them the two worst villains created in the last five years demanded it.
So either
1. Kreisberg is retconning the events of GA/BC 1, or
2. The solicitation has possibly spoiled part of the ending to Blackest Night by revealing that at least on of the dead is coming back to life, or
3. Everyman is coming back to life as a Black Lantern, goes after Ollie and Dinah, and Cupid can't tell the difference between him as a Black Lantern and Ollie Queen and teams up with him.
(3 is just so utterly ridiculous that I can't stop laughing at it and yet it's probably the most likely scenario.)

Date: 2009-07-20 10:42 pm (UTC)I can't decide whether Dinah is going to tackle the arrow, or use her awesome ninja skillz to catch it.
Oh, wait, this is Green Arrow/Black Canary, Dinah doesn't have awesome ninja skillz. Tackle it is.

Date: 2009-07-21 01:00 am (UTC)If it were Dinah and Ollie against a murderous female Pepe LePew, it would be a great story. But no. It has to be darrrrrrrrrrrrrk and grrrrrrrrrrrritty and dramatic.

Date: 2009-07-21 12:32 am (UTC)Of course, given how other writers have handled anything related to what Greg Rucka has set up to be Checkmate continuity (Bruce Jones? Don't be ridiculous, that person doesn't exist.) it could be even more desasterious than GA/BC already is, but a teensy, tiny shred of me still holds out hope.
Ollie and Dinah going up against a powerful international terrorist conglomerate would be something I'd like to read.

Date: 2009-07-21 04:15 am (UTC)(Also, Everyman was clearly in the JLA villains morgue in Blackest Night 1. While it's true that not every villain in the morgue need become a black lantern, the alternative is something like
Black Hand: Blackguards of the world, rise.
Everyman: Hey, I'm not actually dead. I'll be leaving now, unless you've got a bite to eat.
Black Hand: Do you like human hearts?
Everyman: They're my favorite organ! Do you have any Hawkman?)
Have I mentioned I don't like Everyman? :P

Date: 2009-07-21 02:46 am (UTC)Personally, I would like to see Everyman come back as other people he has impersonated. That kid from Infinity Inc., Ted Kord, Lex Luthor. A teamup between Cupid and Lex might actually make me consider Byrne-stealing this book instead of making disgusted noises at it and keeping my pull-list away from its dark influences.

Date: 2009-07-22 12:35 am (UTC)But: The covers, they lie! >_>
Also: I always thought that Ollie is the wide range expert in the team, while Dinah is the close range one, so each of them is better than the other at what they do. Which makes it all the more sad that many writers can't seem to find a way to make this simple separation of duties work in a fight...
