This issue uses all 30 of it's pages of story and art to wrap up this Cupid storyline. Finally! Or do they? First of all, last issue in her rampage, she's created a whole new villain, I think, with Lt. Hilton. When Cupid came across him last issue, she tried to kill him by sticking a knife in the back of his head. But . . he survived. The doctor doesn't know how, but . . he did. But there's an even bigger problem. 'Brain injury like this can result in massive personality disorders . . memory loss . . cognitive dysfunction . . he may not still be the man you knew.' And . . by the end of the issue, he's really not. He may turn out to be an even bigger problem than Cupid was. Anyways, this doctor comes to town from the group that did this to Carrie Cutter. He was part of the group that trained her, and pharmaceutically enhanced her. But it was the trauma of her last mission that sent her over the edge and created the Cupid persona. It appears that he's brought some kind of serum with him that he thinks can cure her. Anyways, long story short, she tries to take out Dinah, but Ollie saves the day when he shoots Carrie with an arrow that's been soaked in this solution. She goes back to normal . . as far as we can tell, and Ollie and Dinah decide to have the honeymoon that they've never been able to slow down long enough to enjoy. The problem now? They're being heralded by Hal to teleport themselves to the JLA satellite. I assume that this story takes place immediately before Cry for Justice. At least that's how it seems chronologically to me. I thought it was a great issue. I had my reservations about Andrew Kreisberg when he took over the scripts on this book. But now that he's been here for little while . . I think he doing a tremendous job. All these issues that he's done have really been fun, and entertaining. Well . . maybe not to Ollie and Dinah, but . . certainly to us, the readers. Plus Mike Norton and Bill Sienkiewicz have made a fantastic art team. Each of their work seems to compliment the other's very well. I've been with Green Arrow a long time, but . . I think right now is probably my favorite in quite a while. And with everything coming down after Cry for Justice . . I think this is only going to get better.
