One page and some spoilers from this week's Green Arrow/Black Canary after the cut...



Kinda surprised someone hadn't already posted this, but everyone's favorite HIV positive heroine returned in Green Arrow/Black Canary! Yup, Speedy's back...in a horrible costume, too. I really miss the red suit, the gray outfit makes no sense.



Anyways, Mia returns home after she caught Dodger making out with Emma Watson. No, really, that's what she says.

Rest of the book is the usual crap, with Dinah cutting a swath of mayhem through town trying to protect Cupid, and Ollie ultimately leaving to "get better".



Also, am I missing something or did the Edit Tags button disappear? Ok, I did miss something, but it's all better now, and that's half the battle, amiright? (Thanks, pyrotwilight).

Obvious tag is omitted so as not to spoil the surprise.

title: Green Arrow/Black Canary, char: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow I, char: Dinah Lance/Black Canary II, char: Cupid

Tag wise the answer's here. Too lazy to explain, and tired.

Could be worse--the arrow on her chest could have pointed down.

What? Why is her costume like that?

Why is DC on a really weird redesign kick for all the young heroes?

Probably someone got tired of colorists using skin-tone instead of yellow on that arrow.

Aw, poor Emma Watson. First her movie posters are photoshopped to make her less fat but with bigger boobs, then people deliberately took upskirt photos of her as she was getting out of a car on her 18 birthday party, and now this.

In her Teen Vogue (I think) interview she mentioned her on/off relationship was that way because the tabloids keep making stuff up, too. Low blow, comics! :[

Well at least the arrow's isn't pointing down. It must been a struggle to decide that.

Also, isn't this the sidekick with AIDS?

Additionally, the way the wing mirror is positioned I at first thought her left hand was replaced with a poor imitation-Captain-Hook prosthesis.

Okay, I think I don't get this anymore:

[spoiler]


Green Arrow leaves the life of Black Canary completely, at least for a certain time. Now, I will readily admit that I prefer GA over Dinah, so I never quite was on the same page as all the fans that prefer Gail Simmone's version, but she's on her own now! Ollie won#t be around to safe her, she's got to do all on her own (well, maybe our friendly neighbourhood Speedy will help)!

On top of that she prove a capable opponent as a fighter, so what#s there to complain?

[/spoiler]

Also, if Speedy's costume is all the same except the grey for red, why has it suddenly gotten awkward? Maybe it's just a sign of growing up? OR, well, her being a woman, maybe she feels like mixing up her wardrobe some time?

Cupid, who is really a bad idea for a villain and isn't going away while Kreisberg is around.

(For the most part, I've liked the last two issues, except for any time Cupid speaks.)

...what's happened to her left hand?

Ohhh, wait, is it vanishing behing the wing mirror? I seriously thought that was her glove and she had a stump left. That's poor composition.

"I really miss the red suit, the gray outfit makes no sense."

Because a cape-wearer riding a motorcycle has more important problems then clashing colours?

Emma Watson has better taste than that!

Also, the costume...wow? What was wrong with her old one?

I suspect this is meant to be her "Nightwing" transition. Bright colors to dark with bright highlights symbolizing the step from sidekick to independent adult hero on a more equal footing, and whatnot.

I dunno, I'm just glad the arrow's yellow and not a boob window.

Which she totally stole from a guy who was nice enough to let her hitchhike with her, and was manifestly polite, friendly, sociable and decent to this utterly random chick who strongarmed her way into his car without asking.

Kreisberg doesn't seem to like his heroes particularly heroic. Or respectful of personal property.

Ho shit, if they start tempting me with the awesome that is Speedy II and not utterly ruin her character in the process, I may have to start picking up this disaster of a book.

Despite my dislike for this book, I did sneak a peek at it at the comic shop. And I did (silently) squeal, "Yeah, Mia!" when I saw her.

And sadly that is the only positive moment I have had with this book this year.

I can see the appeal of this:
Ollie's green, Dinah's black, Roy is red and Connor is a pretty rainbow.

Umm... it's not grey. It's black. Although why she's honoring Dinah now I don't know.
