GREEN ARROW AND BLACK CANARY #7Written by Judd Winick
Art by Cliff Chiang
By all accounts I should bash this book as much as I bash Countdown, as of late. It is very much a B-movie-esque title with some ridiculous occursances and explanations, such as an evil cloud killing Connor or aliens in a flying saucer attacking our heroes.
Well, the aliens turn out to be humans in rubber mask disguises. Seems Ollie didn't bother frisking or checking them out and called Hal Jordan in in what was, I'll admit, a pretty funny scene if you ignore the fact these people know are responsible or were at least involved in trying to kill Ollie's son and have rendered him brain dead.
The whole inappropriate response in light of his son's situation? Ya, Winick throws cation to the wind and has the Arrow clan tie the two men up and imply they are going to take photos and videos of them being forced to have sex with sheep, giant fat men and a 90 year old woman in a bunny suit. Go back and read that again. Who the hell approved this?
Considering the situation with Connor being kidnapped and critically injured, you'd think there'd be some sense of urgency or at least some emotion from these people. They're all laughing it up and by the looks of things, they don't seem to be in any hurry to find him, if they even recall that's what the point of this whole thing is. Under different pretenses, this could probably be a decent, light hearted romp, and the opening with Hal was perfect, when taken out of context, but right now, this boggles the mind.
