JLA #9, by Grant Morrison and Oscar Jiminez
It's nice to know that villains themselves sometimes know when they've been beaten by the ridiculous, it makes for a better world.

Who is Behind The Weekly Crisis?
My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

That was a great moment for the JLA new member Green Arrow at the time.
Grant Morrison simply the best Justice League Writer of all times. His stories were fun, smart and creative and contained great amounts of action. No one before or after him has ever reach the high level of greatness he gave the league.
Enrique Gonzalez
I remember that story-arc.
A line from Connor that always stuck with me was his internal narrative when Connor lost his own (regular piercing) arrows and had to scavenge (then dead) Oliver's quiver of trick arrows.
Then, desperately trying to sort out daddy Oliver's trick arrows while fighting one of The Key's robot-minons.
"Only a genius could use these arrows..."
"...only a madman could use these arrows..."
"I had better decide which one I am...quick!"

A true modern classic. Very well picked, Ken.
The Boxing Glove Arrow...beaten by a classic.
