Green Arrow and Black Canary #6 - DC

This issue is just a further testament as to why Judd Winick is the perfect writer for this series. He has such a fantastic vision of these characters. He knows their subtleties, their quirks, and the "no holds barred" way that they communicate with each other. Plus . . he is terrific in this high-action, fast-paced drama. Simply incredible! Also, I don't know how they need to arrange it, but somehow they need to tie Cliff Chiang to a drawing board, or something, because he is also perfect for this series. We've had a fill-in or two already, but I would really like to see Cliff stay on board. The two of them together are just turning out magic. We do seem to have a lead into what happened to Connor, this issue. Our dynamic duo are in Prague, posing as arms dealers, when they confront their suppliers with the notion that they're interested in the ship that they recently sold. "An airship not so much for speed, but for hiding. It cloaks. It becomes invisible. No radar. No satellite." But, they may have over played their hand because the suppliers get fidgety and guns are drawn. The reason they think there's a ship is because when the JLA reviewed it satellite footage, they found an anomoly. "At the time Connor was shot, we believe there was a cloaked vessel four miles above you. The tests only show that in a forty-five-foot stretch of space, the air currents and temperatures were too constant. Almost impossibly so." Which is why they're chasing the lead now. But later, while trying to relax from the day, they are chased by an interesting looking vessel. Between the two of them, they end up bringing it down, but when they crack it open, they find . . . . aliens inside. Mia is with them while they're on their little fishing trip. Connor was, after-all, like a step-brother to her. I think it's great that they're doing something with her character. And Roy is their JLA contact. The gangs all here. This is one of my favorite books out there right now. It's a classic in the making.
