Look Who's Back!

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.

Neat bike, neat golden bracers, neat emblem... but yeah, ackward costume.

[jcbaggee.insanejournal.com]

The sad thing is, everything is identical to her original costume, but it's gray instead of red. It really doesn't pop like the other one.

[xlineartx.insanejournal.com]

What? Why is her costume like that?

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

[darkknightjrk.insanejournal.com]

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

[ladymirth.insanejournal.com]

Holy shit, she's all growed up!

[01d55.insanejournal.com]

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

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

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.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

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?

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

HIV.

[abates.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Is it just me or is her right leg way too short and thin?

[stig.insanejournal.com]

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

[404glitch.insanejournal.com]

And she didn't get the job until she "came out" about it. Which is terrible.

[zemo.insanejournal.com]

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?

[va1tyr.insanejournal.com]

...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.

[zordboy.insanejournal.com]

"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?

:)

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

This. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the anatomy issues. That teeny-tiny knee couldn't possibly support her weight. And a few people have noticed the horrible tangent the mirror makes with her arm. Seriously guys, it's an important panel. Put a little more thought into it.

And am I wrong, but looking at her crotch (yeah, yeah), is there enough room there to even fit a motorcycle?

[galateus.insanejournal.com]

...All the Speedy characters are just walking PSA's, aren't they?

[sistermagpie.insanejournal.com]

What do you mean? (Honest question--I knew she was HIV positive, but she had to come out about that, do you mean? How did that work?)

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

I wonder what the next one will be?

And is it me, or is SPEEDY a horrible name for someone who shoots arrows? That's the mean nickname you give the fat kid of the group, "Come on Speedy! Catch up!"

[nevermore999.insanejournal.com]

Emma Watson has better taste than that!

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

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

what#s there to complain?

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.)

[stratosfyr.insanejournal.com]

Fun fact: it was originally intended to be a boob window.

Have fun headdesking.

[kingrockwell]

She shouldn't have to prove a capable fighter, she's always been one. And breaking Dinah and Ollie up doesn't fix what a mess they made of Dinah/Ollie to begin with or how miserable Kreisberg's writing's been in general.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

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.
