Green Arrow: OYL

I am liking this so far. I always thought that Winnick was a good writer for Green Arrow.

 

I added it to my pull list starting with #60. I havent picked up #61 yet, but after reading the last few trades, i decided to start picking it up.

 

I'm going to start picking it up since it's a new approach.

 

I haven't read this yet, but I'm probably gonna pick it up in tpb eventually. I love McDaniels art and Winick usually writes some good stories.

 

All I gotta say is: Green Arrow for President.

 

I know.

 

true, I was amused by the press conference, but it took me out of the story. No real politician could get away with being that ballsy.

his assistants being named Tuckman and John Smalls was a cheap gag, too...

 

I got that feeling, too. Within the first few words of the press conference, the only thing I could think of was, "Well, Ollie's obviously gonna be a one-term mayor." It's possible that Star City is one big, uniformly polarized anomaly, but American political campaigns are, by and large, middle-of-the-road affairs. If you express any passion or controversial views, you're likely to lose a major part of your voters. It's the sad truth of American politics. The people with bold views who could probably effect the best and most sweeping changes are the ones who'll never get elected.

 

'zactly

 

The book has potential, but really hasnt grabbed from the first issue like the other OYL books. Ill stay on though.

 

Yeah. Unrealistic though it may be, it is refreshing to see a take on politics where the honest, ballsy, loud-mouthed leftie actually gets to win and put his money where his mouth is.

I'm a little concerned about the whole Green Arrow thing, though. Is his whole term in office going to be marked by his assistant telling him that there's a juicy case for GA to make a good public appearance on? That'd be kind of lame.

 

Wow, issue#61 was absolutely awesome. I loved the way GA reappeared again to the Star City public after so many thought he had died. Can't wait for more.

 

Anarchy.

 

I was thinking about picking this up,I like GA's character.

But I'm picking up enough DC books as is,and I haven't really heard of anything really good about this book from any intelligent posters.

Quiver and Adams' GL/GA are on my to get TPB list,so I'm going to check those out before going monthly.

Oh yea,and GA:Year One can't come soon enough.

 

Its a pretty average superhero book. Not great, not bad. I wouldnt really highly recommend it.

 

Drakon then you pushy *******.

 

Is this series any good right now? Thinking about jumping in. Are we in the middle of an arc?

 

Nope, an arc just ended, actually. And personally, I'm loving it right now. Not one of the absolute best titles out there, but still really enjoyable. It started off a little slow coming out of OYL, but this past arc was damn good, IMO, and now we've got Batman and Red Hood guest appearances coming up, so it should definitely appeal to the Batfan in you.
