I'm sad to see Cliff Chiang off of this book, but I am glad that Mike's doing his own thing now. Mike Norton's been doing the art for about 3 issues now, but on the first 2 he really tried to make his style as close to Cliff's as possible. I understand, maybe they wanted it to be a subtle change, but hey . . books change artists all the time. Who cares? Just go for it. So anyways, with this issue, he's finally looking like his old self. Not that he's old . . I'm just sayin'. But Cliff's still doing the covers, and Judd Winick is still doing the stories. So we're still golden. Last issue, while looking for Connor, and following up on leads to the League of Assassins, Ollie and Dinah stumbled across Plastic Man. Apparently he was on a rooftop, spying on some women sun-bathing, when he bumped his head on their invisible ship. That's when they froze him. "Whoever did it knew that freezing my malleable butt is one of the only ways to, well, 'put me on ice'. Thanks for the rescue. How long have I been MIA?" Ollie and Dinah look at each other kind of stupid like. They don't know what to tell him. "Awww, man! You didn't even know I was missing? You just stumbled upon me?! You guys were fishing around for your car keys and just happened to find a cryogenic chamber?!" That's the part I like about Judd's stories. The interaction between the characters is fantastic. But while they're filling in Plas', Mia has actually come face to face with the League. It's not a leap to say that she's in over her head. But Ollie knows that somethings up because she hasn't checked in at her scheduled time. They're about to go after her when . . . Batman shows up. He wants to be in on the attack. I know this is the Green Arrow and Black Canary title, but really . . it's a team book. There's GA and BC, but there's also Mia, Conner, occasionally Roy, right now Plas' and Mia's new friend Dodger. But it's hard telling how long he'll be around. I really enjoy this book.
