Green Arrow vs. Black Canary #20 - DC


Dinah and Ollie are still trying to figure out their relationship. They love each other, obviously. But, Dinah is worried that Ollie has been even more erratic and cynical lately . . more than normal, anyways. I think she fears he may be even getting a 'death-wish' going. He has seemed rather 'dark' lately. So, to that end, they've decided to try couples counseling. The doctor is a little uncomfortable though, because they have to come in their work clothes. They tried to do it discreetly, but . . they had a hard time talking, being honest, but still maintaining their cover. Anyways, during the middle of their session the whole town is blanketed in silence. Ollie surmises that everyone has become deaf. And now . . now the whole town is in chaos. Ollie and Dinah go out to try to help, but . . it may be even bigger than the 2 of them can handle. Not surprisingly, they split up, to cover more ground and Ollie runs in to Cupid. I don't think he's thrilled to see her, but at the same time he appreciates the back-up. Sometimes you just have to get it where you can. Because of the therapy sessions, we also get a little background into Dinah. We see her about the time that her powers started to manifest, and were getting a little insight into her relationship with her mother. I'm not sure how that's all related to this story, but . . it should all become apparent as the story progresses. The story ends with the town in chaos, and our heroes running around like chickens with their heads cut off. On the final page we see the perpetrator of this chaos. I'm not sure who he is, but we'll probably find out more next issue. I'm really enjoying Andrew Kreisberg's stories here. I think he's doing a great job so far. I would like to see Conner and Mia back in the picture, but . . maybe down the road. Mike Norton is the penciller. Oh yeah, we also see the Shield pop up this issue. He's one of the characters from the Archie super-hero line. He's only in one panel, but . . it's his first DC appearance.
