Green Arrow & Black Canary #4

For all the Judd Winick haters out there, read "Green Arrow and Black Canary" issue #4. Winick knocks this one out of the park. He has a complete grasp of Green Arrow, Black Canary, their relationship, the JLA members, all of it. Everything happening in this issue feels genuine and real. Winick pours on the emotions and Ollie's true nature is shown. The characterization of the JLA members is excellent - even the ones that just show up to show support. Cliff Chiang's art is outstanding, capturing all of the characters well and showing quite a range of emotion in their faces.

I've read a lot of Winick's work as he happens to work on a lot of the characters that I like. This issue may be the best issue that he has ever written. At least it is the best issue of his that I've read ever.
