Green Arrow & Black Canary #3

While I'm enjoying the new "Green Arrow & Black Canary" monthly, this issue highlighted some of the problems stemming from the atrocious ending to the "Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Special". While Winick attempts to tidy things up with a nice little bow, a lot of what happened and the implications are left unsaid. Tie that with the New Gods/Amazon Attacks tie-in and you are on the verge of a bad issue. However, Winick does a fine job of getting the interactions between the Green Arrow family members right. While the motivations of the bad guys are suspect, Green Arrow and family are handled nicely. Winick presents a very strong Black Canary and a fun Green Arrow. Clif Chiang's art is top notch. I really like his Black Canary. She comes across as strong, powerful, and sexy without looking slutty. His take on her costume is truly excellent. He draws a nice Green Arrow in costume as well.

So, aside from the convoluted Everyman/Granny Goodness explanation, this book has a bit of momentum going forward. With the last splash page, one of the Green Arrow family might not make it to far in the series. Here's hoping that if this character does die it is to serve a very good story and not just a sales stunt.
