Green Arrow #12 review

Green Arrow has been through a lot since Rebirth started. On the good side, he’s back with Black Canary, undoing one of the DCNU’s many unpopular moves in their war on relationships (yeah, I’m biased). On the bad, he’s lost his company, been framed or all sorts of crimes, nearly been killed several times, his sister turned on him, and his old and deadly enemy Shado turned up again. Oh, and media creep strikes again, and now he’s friends with a black man named Diggle who has a Special Forces background.

Green Arrow #8 review

One of the things I was happiest about when DC started their Rebirth event was bringing back the relationship between Green Arrow and Black Canary. They’ve always been one of my favorite comic book couples. This issue has a lot of them together, trapped on an island. As the old song goes, “Reunited, and it feels so good.”

Rebirth: Batgirl and the Birds of Prey 1

Birds of Prey is a long time favorite of mine. Chuck Dixon started the series, although it’s probably most associated with fan favorite Gail Simone. The Birds’ long history was wiped out when DC did their line-wide reboot, and the new book just wasn’t as good. I had every single appearance of the Birds until that point, and ended up dropping the “DCNU” version within three issues. But, the Birds are back, and the new book looks fantastic.
