Beating Dead Horses
November 15th, 2007 by david brothers | Tags: black canary, claremont, DC comicsThe sum total of Speedy’s characterization in Green Arrow/Black Canary #2 amounts to “HEY I GOT AIDS PLUS I USED TO BE A HOOKER YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH THAT HUH DO YA?!”
Judd Winick? He’s Chris Claremont 2.0. I can’t think of a single reason to read his books, and I love Cliff Chiang.

Stop buying shitty books.
Agreed. That’s the last issue of this book I’m getting, Chiang or no.
That’s what he gets for being a junkie.
Wrong Speedy! This is Kevin Smith’s Speedy.
Oh whoops my bad. I’m just a sucker for MY WARD IS A JUNKIE?!
Who would have thought back in 2001 that Kevin Smith would be preferable to Judd Winick? NOT ME!
Well, I might’ve. I mean, sure, Smith had already made Dogma and J&SB Strike Back by 2001; but I’ve never been a fan of Barry Ween.
I’ll keep reading though. Maybe skim Mia’s lines.
I’m with HitTheTargets; the rest of the issue is kind of funny and the artwork’s great but man. I was kind of wondering why Speedy had fallen off the face of the DCU since OYL (and other acronyms), now I wish they kind of left her alone.
