Okay so not only do I give you a brief synopsis of this not so intricate storyline, but I also snuck in some musical entertainment as well as some crappy love advice from yours truly. Enjoy!

I'm with you, I think these are good characters being mishandled. This reads (And looks like in the 1st part) like something you'd pick up in 1994.

Discord?? Lame....Sounds like a lame version of Shriek from Batman Beyond

But how can you dislike Ollie?  ....I mean Batman can be a jerk at times as well, where he can sometimes be cold to his friends.
Is it just because he always likes to fool around with the ladies?

Btw like the Lois Lane attire =)

I kinda agree. I think Black Canary had alot going for her when she was running the JLA and I've always loved Green Arrow (partly because of how flawed he is). I actualy quite like the idea that they FINALY got together and got married but this series has been really pretty bad. The Arc with Connor Hawke going missing had one of the worst endings (SPOILER) i mean the whole actualy he was shot by accident thing was lame. Then they killed of Brick and some other members of Green Arrow's already small rogues list for the sake of bringing Cupid into it. And Cupid is a terrible character.

Have to say this is the most disapointing thing in comics with the exception of the cancelation of Captain Britain and MI13 (which is an amazing series and VERY disapointing to see end)

Yea I wasn't too keen on the fact that they killed off Brick. Not really a wise move.

Brick was really one of the only really good Green Arrow villains , and he only has a few villains to begin with

I'll admit the comic hasn't been ground-breaking but I think it's been a consistently fun super-hero story at a time where major events and crossovers seem almost excessive.

And Ollie isn't a jerk, just misunderstood. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood characters ever. And that's why I love him.

I think Green Arrow is a total jerk tooo
Black Canary can do way better.

@Bold: Just because he's misunderstood doesn't mean he's not a prick.

I find Jordan to be a bit of a douche as well. It's no wonder he and Ollie are pals.

That was funny.

Everyone is entitled! I can respect people for liking Ollie. I just don't like Ollie and Dinah together.

They like each other and might even love each other but they just don't and really can't work as a healthy couple

Its been downhill ever since Dinah left Birds of Prey.

@Bold:

    I wouldn't call Ollie misunderstood. He wears his mind on his sleeve, and is usually pretty vocal when he wants something understood. I like him, I really do. But sometimes his whole immature liberal thing can just come off as him being an ass. I hope Dinah reavaluates her relationship with the emerald archer.

@Vortex13:
True, but it doesn't mean he is either. And that's just my point. Alot of views of the character, and most characters in fact, are based on perception (and misperception). 

Womanizer is a word that gets thrown around alot with Ollie and I believe unfairly so. If you read this and the past few issues of the story you'd know Green Arrow wasn't searching for Cupid but discovered her after he and Black Canary split up while the city was rioting. GA found Cupid attempting to kill a family and after stoping her decided to stay close by and monitor her.

Ollie isn't a knight in shining armor but I believe he's commited to Dinah. Other woman may be attracted to Green Arrow, but who can blame them?

@Babs:
Hell yeah, this is alot of fun. Even though I don't feel the same way (obviously) I enjoyed the review.

However I do agree with you that Ollie and Dinah aren't an ideal couple - and that's what makes it interesting. Opposites attract, right?
