Beginning with last year’s issue #18, Chris Condon and Montos officially took over on Green Arrow. And in that time, the pair have developed a grounded, noir-leaning take on the Emerald Archer, with the bulk of the story so far focused on the saga of Freshwater. Now, with the bombastic first arc over, the pair are looking toward the future with this week’s issue #25. And what better future than one featuring Roy Harper, his daughter Lian Harper, and a story reminiscent of a seminal Green Arrow storyline? More specifically, this latest arc references and re-explores “Snowbirds Don’t Fly.” A two-parter…
Seasons has been the snack in the series since it was released in January. That visually whimsical, existential sense of fear is evident, and during that time the eclectic group of sisters becomes a fun dynamic with their attitudes and names marked for this season. In four issues, the circus comes to town and wants to do something terrible, and it appears that he did something in the summer, his younger sister in spring. Next, unpack the fallout. Seasons #5 begins with an extreme close-up of the Spring Eyes. She looks at the circus tent and somehow grows bigger. She…
A truly wonderful “silly joke” is like a fart. You can keep it with everything you want, but in the end you need to share it.It’s like we’re with Moonshine Bigfoot.

Light. Instead, there was less immaturity and total hilarity, and more effective worldbuilding and character development.But now that Hijink has really passed away, it’s…

We’ll beat everyone with us #4 is a step beyond the last issue, adding some juicy conflict and sci-fi oddity. In addition to the fun, the super spy introduced in the…
When we last left Mark Miller and Rafael Albuquerque’s Huck, he enlisted from his mother and Mr Harper to track down other supermarkets.

But when the trio travel to big cities, they discover new things about their different abilities and other supers in their world, as if they don’t have the same moral compass that Huck does.Huck: Big Bad World #2 introduces Lorenzo, the first new super in…

It feels very dark now. It looks like you’re watching it everywhere on the news, but something terrible is happening. That our institutions, like governments and business organizations, are opposed to us. More stricter laws are being passed than ever before to suppress, dehumanize and criminalize minorities.

I sometimes feel very dark these days.…
