    Green Arrow #9

    As much as I love Green Arrow (he is one of my favorite characters) I didn't really like this issue. We had a pretty much pointless visit by Phantom Stranger. While it was action-packed, it didn't really feel like anything (substantial) happened, but it did leave me in anticipation of what was going to happen. It feels like they are dragging this out longer then necessary (probably to coincide with the ending of Brightest Day). So in short; it wasn't my favorite issue so far, and I really want to know, what's happening with the forest?

    I'm really hoping this series picks up after Brightest Day. Since the begining I've felt this title needs to lean more in the direction of the Queen and Nix and Oliver's previously untold backstory. JT Krul has really done wonders for Teen Titans but I feel this title may need Judd Winick's touch once more.

    @longbowhunter:  Yeah, I had hopes that Krul would do good, but so far he hasn't given us much. I am hoping the same, that it gets better after Brightest Day. Seeing Winick on Green Arrow again would be amazing!

      In this issue, Green Arrow is forced to deal with random things happening in his new magical forest. Again. Still. Seemingly forever?  It is hard to talk about this issue without simply rehashing critiques already made of this series. This issue in particular is really nothing but a prolonged action scene that continues from last issue and will presumably end next issue. And of course, it is all driven by the magical forest's ability to do anything the plot requires at the time. Nothing is reall...

      Etrigan the Demon and Jason Blood have separated and now Etrigan is destroying the forest! How can Green Arrow and friends stop a demon?  The Good This is going to come off a bit mean, but hear (read) me out.  This book is really weird when you compare it to the rest of the DC Universe. It doesn't really fit in to what is going on in the rest of the super-hero world. It's a bit refreshing. I've never been a huge fan of the world of magic in the DCU, but JT Krul grounds it well in this issue. Etr...
