I liked this issue. I liked that Mia and Dodger are trying to have a relationship. I feel sorry for her because of her condition. But she did the right thing and told him. Which . . he seems to be accepting her for. Plus, ever since she's gotten involved with Ollie, she hasn't really had any down time . . or a social life to speak of. So I'm glad that she's letting her guard down a little bit. I really hope she doesn't get burned. On the Connor front . . there may be something going on with him. It's only been a few days since he came out of his coma, but while Dinah and Ollie are talking he comes walking into the kitchen talking about how hungry he is. Ollie's worried when he finds out that he doesn't remember anything . . that he's a vegetarian, a Buddhist, an archer or a crime fighter. The past seems to be a blank slate. But the real surprise comes when a knife accidentally falls and lands on his foot. He pulls it out and his foot heals instantly. Dinah tells Ollie, "You're really going to need some folks to take another look at him." To me the only real downfall of this issue was that is wasn't as action packed as has been the norm throughout this series. Don't get me wrong. They all need their down-time . . time to keep up with the little things in life, but so far in this series it's been non-stop action . . for the most part. So this issue was definitely a change of pace. But it did give Judd Winick a chance to do a little character development. Which is always a good thing. Mike Norton does the pencils . . and has for the last few issues. It looked ok. Everything seemed a little . . 'simple' this issue, but maybe that was because of the pace of the story. And maybe Mike just needed to get caught up on his work. Cliff Chiang is still however doing the covers. While this probably wasn't one of my favorite issues in this series, it was essential for the development of these characters and the next story-line. So . . whatever.
