New Direction!
While this issue is standard hero fare as Green Arrow and Black Canary hunt Merlyn who is killing people for money, I am so happy with the new direction and creative team that I am not caring about the simplicity of this issue. Andrew Kreisberg is such a better writer than Winick. Winick made Green Arrow/Black Canary a stupid and corny book that I despised reading. Kreisberg is a breath of fresh air and hooray for the new artist Mike Norton.
The cover on the other hand sucks arrows; Norton should have done it. Merlyn looks like he just got out of bed and is about to shoot kids off his lawn. “DAMN KIDS!”
