Green Arrow and Black Canary #21 - DC


Ollie's going to be in some serious trouble with Dinah when she finds out about his recent escapades around town . . with Cupid. Aye-yi-yi! They used to talk about how the 'heroes' in the DC Universe were 'trouble magnets'. Well, Ollie's the prime example of that. But with the women . . not just trouble in general. If I had to choose, I think I'd just go for being in trouble. Why does he have to complicate everything with all these women? Maybe he really does have a death-wish. Anyways, he's running around town trying to help out wherever he can . . remember last issue all sound went . . well, soundless. So when nobody could hear anything, the whole city panicked and chaos ensued. Cupid is tagging along with him, but I really think he's just trying to keep an eye on her so she doesn't make matters worse. Dinah is the one that keeps the level head and goes to the University to see if there's a professor or something that can help her counter-act what's going on. It turns out that someone is basically sending out a modulation wave that's cancelling out all other noise. She gets a detector and figures out that the guy who is doing this is on top of one of the tallest buildings. When she gets up there, I think he's surprised that she figured things out so fast, but I also think that he was expecting her . . or wanting her. She's been having these flashbacks of when she was a kid and her powers first manifested. They accidentally went off near a friend of hers and he lost his hearing. I'm thinking, that kid is connected to this guy. They don't tell us so in this issue, but . . we'll see. The issue ends with him blowing up the top of the building, with he and Dinah still up there. I wasn't sure about Andrew Kreisberg's work when he first took over this series, but . . now that he's settled into his groove, I think he's doing a fantastic job. He hasn't broken up Dinah and Ollie yet, but . . he's definitely testing their relationship. Which I think is good. Mike Norton is the penciller of this series.
