... where we stick the knife in deeper into Roy Harper's broken heart, gouge at his entrails, and kick his severed arm around the room. seriously, James Robinson severely damaged this character and now we're supposed to believe he's going to come back as a badass evil-crushing vigilante of sorts - that is, if he doesn't die first (see, its the powerless archers that get deconstructed and "die honorably" - see The Nail, and Another Nail). and how do we explain the 2000 resurrection of Oliver Queen? ah, editor ex machina. welcome back to the '90s, DC. i guess that Hot Tub Time Machine does work!

"Freddy Marvel" is a sore loser with video games.


ah ah, tactical error, Roy. you shoulda stomped him to the ground. do not ever listen to a villain prattling.


whoooops - somebody's pulling a fast one, Mr. Green-Gigolo-who-allegedly-had-a-threesome-with-Zinda-and-Helena.


for once, the Canary Cry is silenced.


you know who i'd cast as that pusher? Christopher Walken *. YEAH.



* well, only because David Carradine accidentally killed himself.

pulp friction

the Nova Corps has been restarted (take that, Green Lanterns, or whatever colors you want to be). that should normally be a good thing, except that it was done without the say of our man Richard. everything has been masterminded by the Mind called World.

look, it even deputized Richard's nerdy kid brother, Robbie.



wooohoooo - there's no fireworks like family fireworks. happy new year!

back on the saddle

just when i thought he'd be doing this space cop solo routine for a while ...

the Green Lanterns may have more character but that is a product of an advantage in years of quality writing. Nova has been truly fleshed out only in the last couple of years with Annihilation, and allowing him to grow without the Nova Corps.

thumbs up to DnA for great, great work.
