perpetual_motion: hang yourself please (the little-known second moon of Earth)
"Green Arrow/Black Canary" was not a total trainwreck this month. More a skid on the rails that was saved by the barest bit of luck. And Kreisberg [the writer] is still playing Dinah like all she is is support as opposed to complete badass. She didn't get to fight at all, but at least she didn't scream her way out of something.

And Ollie pulling the shit with his quiver just makes me pissy. Someone needs to remind the writers of GABC [outside of Kevin Smith], that Ollie being a douche and misdirecting Dinah is WHAT MAKES PEOPLE HATE THE COUPLE.

But I'm still reading. Because I can't quite give up. This is my absolute favorite superhero duo, and Black Canary is my absolute favorite superhero. Because, when written well, she is a complete badass in the absolute best way, and she's still got the sexy, girly side that she's totally cool about enjoying, and how could you not love her when she's written like that?

I wonder how much longer I'll have to wait to see that Dinah again.

Green Arrow/Black Canary aggravation with spoilers for issue #16 )

I read GABC because I like the characters. When they're in character. Which they are not. At all. No, wait, that's not true. Ollie's in fine character, but Dinah's apparently had a personality-ectomy and and frightened-damsel-injection, and now it's up to Kriesberg and DiDio Ollie to make sure his little woman is all safe and secure.

I sat through 14 issues of mostly-crap because I thought, "My god, no one can fuck it up worse than Winick", and here I sit, two issues into the new writer, wishing desperately for something with which to gouge out my eyes.

I'm not sure who's storyline this idea was. Kreisberg could have pitched it, or it could have come from the "OMG WIMMENS NEED TEH SAVINGS" part of DiDio's completely idiotic mind. I need to find out. I'd hate to take an epic shit in the wrong hat.

What I liked:

1. The banter. Very fun. Very light.
2. Superman and Wonder Woman's talk about the wedding in terms of how marrying within the ranks may be bad for a person.
3. The art. It was cheescakish, but this issue was supposed to be at least mildly cheesy, so why the hell not.

where it all went horribly wrong; spoilers be here )
