Ugh, now I'm scared to go to my LCS tomorrow. Between this and Oracle it does not look like a week of quality writing. And yes, I do buy this drivel because I like both characters and want DC to know that and not cancel the only book that has them regularly appearing now that BoP is gone.
I like Green Arrow and I like Black Canary. I've read all of the modern run GA stories and am working my way through the 1989 Grell run. I've read a lot of BoP (though would always like some recs for more...) and I think both characters have their flaws and their strengths and I think that when done right they are truly awesome together.
But in the GA/BC run I wonder if any of the writers have ever read any of the books with GA and BC. Ollie: not always a insensitive asshat. Dinah: NOT (ever) a damsel needing to be rescued. In fact there have been several instances in the GA books where Ollie admits that Dinah is the better fighter and respects her more for it. It's my hope that the new Green Arrow stories with the Black Canary backups will get back to the true characters. But I'm not holding my breath.
Until then I'm going to reread Kevin Smith or Brad Meltzer's run on GA. Or watch JLU for some truly awesome Ollie/Dinah interaction.
