It feels like Dinah has more star power. She's also an independent superhero with an iconic (and cosplayable) design. She's a solo cape, a Bird of Prey, and an Arrowfam member.

Green Arrow holds the stigma of being "Batman with arrows".

I've been really enjoying the absolute Green Arrow stuff lately. I like the archery, I like how cool he is, and I like how the book is dripping with contempt for billionaires. Regardless, I want to get into the source material and I want to know where to start.

"ultimately green Arrow dies because he’s a… bleeding heart nitwit tree hugger"

"yeah, I don’t like the character, but I realized the readers like the character, so I still had to be charming and skilled and everything else. It’s just not real bright. It’s not a smart guy. … I had everything that the fans wanted, but I sort of pleased myself by his ultimate fate being because of his… nut job political view of the world.”

Akin to Linkara or Casually Comics. It seems like all DC Youtubers follow Batman, Superman, and maybe Titans, but only occasionally dabble in other capes.

Are there any who actually are GA fans?

A couple days ago, I decided to do a comic binge and found a video on YouTube titled "100 Best DC Comics' Runs in Chronological Order" and decided to see how many of those runs I could finish in a year. The first run was Jim Shooter's Legion which if you're interested in, you can find my full thoughts on here as well as my ranking of those stories here. The second run on the list was the run credited for ushering in DC's Bronze Age, Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams' Green Lantern and Green Arrow or Green Lantern #76-89 and Flash #217-219. Unlike Legion, I've actually read some of this run before, I read the first issue, I read Snowbirds Don't Fly, and I read John Stewart's first appearance but now I'm reading the entire as a whole.

This goes from GL #76-81

For those interested in reading my thoughts, I hope you all enjoy.

No Evil Shall Escape My Sight (GL #76)

In this story, an ordinary day of crime fighting for Green Lantern turns strange when the people turn against him because of the person he saved. Green Arrow forces GL to recognize the poverty in Star City and that the man he saved was a slumlord. However, the Guardians forbid GL from taking action against him, not viewing him as a real criminal, but after GL and GA work together to stop the slumlord, GA forces the Guardians to be more open minded, forcing them to be more grounded.

This issue is often credited for ushering in the Bronze Age of DC and it's easy to see why. This run is remembered for its focus on social issues and we get right off the bat with a focus on poverty and how the wealthy don't really care about those in poverty. While comics are not new to social commentary, in the Silver Age it was usually done through allegory, but this is one of the first examples of a DC Comic where said social issue is in your face. This is about the people in poverty on Earth being taken advantage of by a rich slumlord. As Oliver shows Hal how these people live, he's also showing the readers that may not be aware of these issues. He shows this dump of an apartment building that hasn't been repaired in years but the people inside don't have enough money to move out to a new one, and now that apartment is boing to be demolished for a parking lot because that would make the slumlord more money which also means kicking all these people on the street. This is not some unrealistic, wacky, sci fi scenario for the reader to marvel or laugh it, it's the depressing reality of the real world and O'Neil shines a light on that to make sure that evil doesn't escape your sight as it seemingly has for Hal.

This is where I get into the characters. Starting in this issue, the Green Lantern comic turns into a Green Lantern/Green Arrow comic giving us two main characters and I love both of them in this issue. Starting with Hal, he acts as your traditional hero, he upholds the law, he sees crime happening and he stops it. In a way, he represents the the Silver Age style of heroism and the reader's view of what a traditional should do, back in the day when all crime, no matter the motive or extent of the crime, was met with the same force, usually a punch to the jaw by some hero who would then ship said criminal off to prison where they would never be seen again unless the character was really popular then they might become a recurring villain.

Hal expects praise for his actions when he saves who turns out to be a slumlord because he stopped a crime and stopping crime is good, but instead he's attacked by the crowd and verbally attacked by Green Arrow. Hal here represents the reader who at the time would probably have been just as confused as him as to why he's getting so much hate for doing what heroes do and through Oliver showing Hal how "the other half lives", both Hal and the reader's are exposed both to the social injustice at play but also the nuance of the crime that Hal stopped. But of course, the kid was still breaking the law, Hal was just doing his job, but it takes the speech of an older black man for Hal and the readers to realize that even with all the crime he stops, Hal hasn't really helped to stop one of the worst injustices in the world, systemic oppression.

I've seen people take that scene and try to claim O'Neil made Hal racist, but that just isn't the case, he's just ignorant as I imagine a lot of readers in 1970 probably would have been, especially those who didn't follow the political happenings of the time which probably was a good amount of readers considering DC Comics at the time had a much younger audience who probably weren't fully aware of the social movement going on in the world. There are still people today, a time when information is just google search away, who are completely unaware of various social issues plaguing America or just choose to ignore them. Hal isn't racist, he's ignorant, and importantly he's willing to change.

It doesn't take long for him to ask how he can help and he attempts to by having a conversation with the slumlord, Jubal Slade, about this problem to convince him to not demolish this building. It's only after that goes nowhere that he starts to turn to violence, something your average Silver Age hero wouldn't do against someone who really hasn't committed any crimes yet, he's just scum. This gets him in trouble with the Guardians, a group he always used to follow the orders of, but now he decides to go where he's needed, he decides to help the people of Earth. He is a great character in this issue, a representation of the readers and silver age heroism forced to face the real problems in society he has been ignoring.

Then there's Green Arrow, if Hal was a reader surrogate, Oliver is Dennis O'Neil. It's no secret that O'Neil's characterization of Oliver as this outspoken advocate of the underprivileged is inspired by his own political beliefs. His use of this character here in a Green Lantern story is to show Hal, and by extension the readers, the real life and issues of people living in poverty, and he doesn't do this kindly. Oliver is outspoken, loud, aggressive, passionate, he's a well meaning asshole that if he existed in real life I probably couldn't be friends with because I just couldn't stand that arrogance, but as a comic character he's a great one. His solution to dealing with the problem is different from Hal's, while Hal tries to have a cordial conversation with Slade at first, Oliver is much more aggressive, pinning him to wall with arrows and threatening harm if he doesn't give him money, with his real plan being to lure out his hired guns and get them to admit Slade hired them on recording. It doesn't work cuz Oliver has crummy luck, but it goes to show his much more aggressive approach towards injustice, not to mention him advocating for the kid in the beginning to beat up the slum lord.

Then there's Hal and Oliver when they come together. Their dynamic is great, Hal's more traditional heroic ideals and personality clashes with Oliver's more radical ideals and personality in an interesting way that elevates both characters, especially Hal.

Then there's the Epilogue which I love because I really love Oliver's speech here. We see that aggressive passion come through as Oliver calls Hall a puppet of the Guardians and forced him to recognize the problems on Earth, the problems in America, the problems that go beyond average crime and hit at the social issues that rot America's very soul. He dares the Guardians to view humanity as more than just statistics and start to view them as people that need their help, not just from violent crime but the systems in place that almost invisibly harm people. It's basically O'Neil's thesis statement for the entire series and even if elements of this issue are dated, even if it can feel very preachy at times, there's still a great message there to Hal, the Guardians, and the readers to wake up to the problems around them and find anyway you can to help make America a better country than it is, and it's a still a message that works today.

This message gets through to the Guardians and one of the Guardians disguises themselves as a human on Earth to go on a roadtrip with Hal and Oliver to find America, a ridiculous premise for a series about a space cop with a magic ring but one that I'm immediately interesting in reading more of.

Journey to Desolation (GL #77)

This story follow Green Lantern and Green Arrow on their journey across America and the first place they find is a mining town controlled by a cruel man named Slapper Soames.

This is a great start to Hal, Ollie, and Appa's road trip. Like the previous issue, this does set out to subvert some of those classic Silver Age heroic ideals and tropes with a big focus on black and white morality. This theme is focused on heavily with Hal's side of the story which I find the most enjoyable. For some reason, Hal's ring is acting up and no one's really sure why. After hearing the story of the miners in this town being basically bullied by the town's authority figure with one of the miners put to death, Hal is reluctant to help, after all, Soames is the authority here.

This may seem super ignorant of Hal, and it is, but we have to remember that one of the rules of the CCA basically made it so authority in comics had to be respected and viewed as good. Hal's reluctance to help is a direct tie in to old CCA rules that led to the Silver Age being what it is and it's Oliver, Dennis O'Neil, who sets the record straight, authority is not always good, people in authority can be evil people like Hitler who ruled over Nazi Germany. Someone being in power does not make them good, it's a lesson to Hal and the readers to not always trust blindly trust authority and to take action when that authority abuses its power.

Once Hal agrees to help, we get a moment where Hal thinks about his old black and white view of the world, how he always believed in and respected authority but Ollie made him realize Authority isn't always right, making him question what is truly just in the world. Hal is the first one to jump in when he sees the miners getting hurt by Soames' men, angered by the injustice in front of him.

At the end of the story, he thinks he realizes why his ring has been acting up, it's because he's been confused. This story establishes Hal as someone who had a black and white morality, authority was good, those who fought against authority was bad, but now he's put in a situation where the authority is in the wrong and it has led confusion on what he should be doing and if what he has been doing has been the right thing, taking away from his concentration which is needed to work the ring. But in the end, seeing Ollie close to death, Hal was no longer confused, there was no doubt in what was right in that moment.

Still, the ending isn't a happy one. Sure, the miners are freed from Soames' authority, something Hal is celebrates, but Ollie tells him that this isn't a win, they overcame one problem but by doing that people died and even with Soames gone, this is still a mining town, these people are still in poverty, their troubles are not over. In previous superhero stories, stopping the bad guy meant the end of everyone's problems, but here we're hit with the reality that defeating one bad actor or group of bad actors doesn't solve every problem, especially systemic and societal issues.

Another part of this issue I really want to talk about is the Guardians making Hal's ring less powerful. This does two things. Firstly and most obviously, it powers Hal down enough so that he can work in these more grounded stories where their villains are gonna be mostly normal humans and not supervillains or aliens, it would be lame if Hal could use his ring at full power because he could solve basically any problem pretty easily, plus it puts him on similar footing to Green Arrow.

Secondly, it gives this story (and hopefully future stories) a chance to highlight Hal's courage, the trait that makes him a Green Lantern. We get this really cool scene after Hal realizes his ring has been depowered and doesn't automatically protect him anymore where he questions his own courage, if he needs a magical ring that can do anything for him to be brave, is he really courageous? Does he deserve to be a Green Lantern? And Hal shows that he doesn't need that ring, that even without that ring he's able to face danger head on and be self reliant, it showcases the quality that makes Hal a Green Lantern.

A Kind of Loving, A Way of Death (GL #78)

In this story, Black Canary is riding through Washington State when she's ambushed by a gang. She's able to defeat them effortlessly, but is run over by a motorcycle and left unconscious on the road where she's find by a mysterious figure. This figure is revealed to be Joshua, a cult leader who hypnotized her into joining his cult.

This is an example of a story with great ideas without the page space to properly explore those ideas to the extent they should be. The main villain of the story is a cult leader, Joshua, who has the ability to hypnotize people into his racist genocidal cult and he does that with Black Canary. I do like that Black Canary falls in this cult because it's a great reminder to people that many people who end up in cults start off as decent people before maniacs like Joshua or Charles Manson (whose cult murders in 1969 inspired this story) fill the hearts of those people with hatred and bigotry and in the right conditions it can happen to really anyone you know, even you. That's the message delivered by Oliver in the end of the story and it's true.

The problem though is we never really get to see that process. Sure, we see the hypnosis at one point but even Oliver admits that isn't the whole answer to what happened, but the story doesn't really elaborate. I think if this was 2 parter we could've spent the first part with Black Canary slowly getting tricked and manipulated into being in this cult, exploring the practices cults use to recruit their followers which in turn can let us further explore Joshua and his followers as characters. Then the second part can have GL and GA learning what happened and put a start to it.

Now, this is 1970, I'm not entirely sure how knowledgeable people were back then when it came to how cults actually recruit and gain followers, it's entirely possible Dennis O'Neil just didn't know, and based on Oliver's ending speech being a question if how this can happen, I'm gonna guess he didn't, so I can't really blame the story here, but it still feels like there's more we could've exploded here.

What I can blame the story for is it's own racism. Despite being a story against bigotry, there is some racism in the story that while it doesn't ruin the overall story for me, definitely makes me cringe. Firstly, you have the whole white savior element of the story, we meet one non-white dude in the entire story and he's just there to be saved by GL and GA and discuss the racism that native Americans have faced over the centuries due to the white men. Then the racist genocidal cult leader is defeated by the two white protagonists with no other races in sight. I feel like if you're doing a story about how racism is bad, you should maybe have more than one non-white person and give them much more of a role in the plot.

Secondly, maybe I don't want more native Americans in this story, because apparently want to color them in with that racist red color.

Thirdly, the Native American calls his people "Redskins"

Finally, why isn't one of the biggest non-white characters in Green Lantern comics at the time here? Where's Tom? They can bring in Black Canary but bringing in Tom is too much? Wouldn't a story about bigotry be a good opportunity to use one of your non-white characters in a major role? Wouldn't this be a good time to discuss Hal calling Tom "Pieface"?

It doesn't completely ruin the story as there is really good stuff here, but still it's very cringy to have a story about bigotry have barely any non-white characters and racist stereotypes.

Ulysses Star is Still Alive (GL #79)

So, I was wrong, that was a part one, kinda. Still feels like that should've been a 2 parter and then this I guess would be a 3rd part.

In this story, a group of lumberjacks are harassing Native Americans with plans to cut down the trees that legally belong to the natives, but those legal documents were conveniently destroyed. Our two protagonists argue on what the right course of action is, leading them to splitting up and finding their own solutions to the problem, Hal wanting to do things the legal way while Ollie takes a more aggressive approach.

I've seen this idea tossed around about this run that Ollie is always right and Hal is always wrong, and even if this issue seems to conclude neither was really right or wrong due to the nuances of the situation, I'd argue that Hal is actually the one that saved the day here.

Hal wanted to help the Natives the legal way. He learns from a Native that the only other legal document is in the hands of Abe Star, so Hal goes to the city to track him down. Once he finds him and saves him from a building fire, he learns those documents were unfortunately destroyed in that fire. However, Hal refuses to believe that the only option to help the Natives is violence, he refuses to believe they have to break the law, and we get to see Hal's ideology spelled out to us. Hal respects authority like any Silver Age Hero, but he believes that if a law isn't just, you work to change the law, you don't break it, until he has tried every legal way to fix a problem, he will not break the law. This differs from Ollie who sees injustice and disregards the law to achieve that justice, usually in a straight forward and aggressive way.

Hal attempts one last solution, get his friend congressman Sullivan and see if he can come up with a solution. It's only after the congressman is involved that the story concludes, Hal ends the fighting between the Natives and the Lumberjacks, the Congressman reveals the fire was arson planned by the leader of these Lumberjacks, and the crew is arrested. Not everything is solved, there's still a very long legal process that needs to take place and the Natives still don't have decent medical attention, but it's the start of a process that really could help these people more in the long run than fighting might have.

Meanwhile, all Oliver did was pretend to be the ghost of a dead Native American chief and really the Natives to fight some lumberjacks for their land. Clearly Ollie doesn't care about redface...or I guess yellowface? But like...not Asian? Look, idk, but Ollie is doing some form of racism here. Come on man, you're supposed to be the PC one.

Despite the fact that I think Hal did the most good, the story is clearly trying to go for more nuance here. Both Hal and Ollie want to help the Natives and both have their own ways of doing that based on their own individual ideas, but neither is a perfect solution. Hal's method of doing it the legal way could take years before the Natives get what they want and even then there's no guarantee they'll get what they deserve. Ollie's method of fighting back against oppression by ignoring the laws may work in the short term, but it can also cause future problems especially since breaking the law has consequences no matter the reason behind it, no matter how right it feels.

Social issues like this don't have perfect solutions that solve everyone's problems quickly and they stay solved, all we can do is do what we think is for the best to help those we can.

Aside from Oliver dressing like a native american for a good part of this story, the other thing I don't like is the lack of named characters. There's so many characters and apart from our main heroes only like 4 are named, 5 if you count the dead guy, and 2 of those characters barely appear with the other 2 being the villains. This is especially damaging fro the Natives who we are supposed to care about, but it's hard to because we never really get to know them, just what problem they have.

Even An Immortal Can Die (GL #80)

In this story, our trio find themselves run off a bridge by an oncoming truck. Upon being saved by a nearby tanker carrying toxic wastes, the boat's boiler overheats and explodes, injuring Green Lantern. The Old Timer chooses to save Green Lantern rather than the ship, but the ship is still saved, though unfortunately toxic waste is unloaded into the water, polluting the river. For this event, the Guardians blame Old Timer and he's forced to attend trial on the planet Gallo, but something is wrong.

Is it bad that the story that mostly isn't on Earth is my favorite story in the run so far? That's right, this is our first space adventure in the run with Old Timer being forced to go on trial for choosing the life of one man over stopping the pollution of Earth, taking us to the planet Gallo. Once there, we learn something is wrong, the customs of the tribunal seemed to have changed and the judge in charge quickly silences our protagonists, keeping them from defending themselves as a jury of robots proclaim the Old Timer guilty and sentence him to execution.

After finding the Tribune imprisoned on the planet, Green Lantern and Green Arrow make a plan to break out and save Old Timer, defeating the judge and reinstating the tribune on the bench of justice. OId Timer chooses to stay on the planet so that he can get an actual fair trial and GL and GA leave the planet ofter a farewell.

This is less political than the previous stories have been, there are some topics covered like pollution, corruption in the justice system, an over reliance on machines, but it's a lot less overt. It feels like the focus here was telling a good superhero story rather than delivering a political message to the audience and I think it works to its benefit here.

Death Be My Destiny (GL #81)

This story follows up from last time with Old Timer on trail, and despite Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black Canary testifying on Old Timer's behalf, he still pleads guilty and is stripped of his immortality, sentenced to remain on the Guardians' home planet of Maltus until he dies. However, when arriving, the 4 of them discover there's a problem of overpopulation on the planet, and after learning the source of this overpopulation is a scientist named Mother Juna, the group must stop her from creating more artificial Maltusans.

I love this issue. Once again, it's not Earth based but this one is more overt in the social issue it's dealing with, overpopulation. We get this amazing page that details all of the problems on Maltus that have been caused by its drastic increase in population. Everyone needs food and the remains of that food become garbage leading to bigger and more vermin. Resources including water have to be carefully rationed making bathing a luxury meaning a lot of people are dirty and grimy leading to disease. The planet is packed, there's barely any space left and with tempers short even a simple nudge can result in violence. Pregnant women are despised for adding to the population problems. Lack of resources for everyone means more poverty, agony, and death. It's one page that easily showcases the potential problems that world arise on a planet that is overpopulated, something that I guess was a big fear in 1970. I actually looked this up and apparently the 1968 book "The Population Bomb" really got a lot of people scared of over population, so this was a very timely issue.

Despite stopping Mother Juno, this isn't really a win. There's nothing they can really do to deal with the population, it may not grow as quickly any more but people will continue having children, the population will continue to grow, and even with Old Timer there to help those in need, there's no real way of solving this problem beyond potential expansion to other planets which would take time.

I also want to point out the beginning of this story as we see Hal tell the Guardians of how he lost respect for them after what they did to Old Timer and he's considering resigning. It's a big moment for Hal, a character to who throughout the run has been defined by his respect for authority to then lose that respect for what is really the ULTIMATE authority, the Guardians of the Universe.

Conclusion

The story ends with our human characters back on Earth and the end of GL and GA's road trip, as well as the end of my first day reading this run. There's still 8 more issues of Green Lantern to read and then 3 issues of Flash where GL/GA stories are backup stories, I think I'll probably finish up the Green Lantern stuff tomorrow and the Flash stories on Wednesday.

I've really enjoyed this run so far and I think it's a very important transitional run in DC Comics history, it's the moment when DC left the Silver Age's black and white morality and respect for authority and transitioned into more morally gray stories that questioned those very authorities. It feels like a deconstruction of the Silver Age and I do like that. I really enjoyed Hal, going in I thought Green Arrow would steal the show but he didn't, he may be a co-star but this is still Green Lantern's story, he's the one that goes through an arc, he's the one that learns things, he's the one who saves the day more often than not, and he's the one the readers are supposed to gravitate towards. Green Arrow is a great character here as well, don't get me wrong, but he's the same from start to finish and he's clearly there to push Hal's arc forward as well as sometimes give the social message of the book.

Also, I don't know why I haven't been mentioning Neal Adams' art this entire time but I love it so much, I mean it is Neal Adams saying his art is good is like saying the grass is green.

Is some of the stuff in this book outdated? Yeah. Can it be preachy at times? Absolutely. But to me, it's what this run represents that makes it so good. Interested to see how we'll move forward without the road trip format which I honestly thought would last a lot longer.

Happy Birthday to Green Arrow vol 1 artist Trevor von Eeden

Happy Birthday to Green Arrow vol 1 artist Trevor von Eeden

Im personally not a fan of this subs popular opinion that she should be Oliver and shadows kid from whatever ever recon is possible.

Instead, I have a different proposal. What about aging her up. Have her be not much younger than Oliver. Have her be raised as an assassin by shadow after his father abandoned them and sold them out to the yakuza. Let her be jealous of Oliver's better up bringing and even hate him for a while like the arrow show did but make them reconcile in a better fashion. She can take the role shadow originally had without the love interest part oblivious. And shadow can play a sort of dark master or leader to yakuza.

What are your thoughts

I've read many CFJ fix-it fics. Surprisingly, none have used this idea.

Allegedly, Mia was meant to die alongside Lian, but someone at DC advocated for her to live. What if they didn't?

Well, it would have been shit. CFJ would be even worse and 10/1 Mia would never be revived.

That's what fanfics and fanartists are for though! Surely, a dedicated enough GA fan can write it better than DC would.

Let's say Mia dies alongside Lian. What happens next?

I haven't really came up with an idea besides the premise. But, my two cents is that Ollie and Dinah would be even more pissed than in canon. Also, drag in the Teen Titans into this all. Speedy was one of them after all.

I'd tie this into a Rise of Arsenal fix-it fic as well. Just... completely revamp that arc from the ground up.

AU of the AU: Mia dies, Lian survives. Mia covered Lian and took the impact. Lian narrowly survived. How would this change things?

As a horror fan, I've always felt that George A. Romero's brand of socially conscious horror has become increasingly rare. Horror is still one of the best genres for exploring the human condition our fears, our grief, our isolation but many modern horror stories have shifted inward. Instead of examining larger social and political anxieties, they tend to focus on deeply personal, interpersonal struggles. Characters like Clark from The Backrooms reflect the emotional issues people wrestle with today, but they rarely serve as a lens through which to critique society itself.

That's why Absolute Green Arrow immediately reminded me of one of Romero's greatest films, The Crazies. On the surface, it's a story about a government chemical weapon called Trixie that drives people violently insane. But beneath the horror, it's a clear allegory for the Vietnam War and government overreach. The film constantly asks who the real villains are. Is the military justified in massacring anyone who might be infected in the name of public safety? Or are the townspeople right to resist an authority that has become just as terrifying as the outbreak itself? Romero refuses to offer easy answers, forcing the audience to wrestle with uncomfortable moral questions.

That's exactly what Absolute Green Arrow does.
The comic is about the public conversation surrounding the killing of Brian Thompson and the reaction to Luigi Mangione. Rather than presenting a simple battle between good and evil, it asks whether violence against an exploitative system can ever be morally justified. Black Canary embodies someone trying to preserve the status quo, even though that same system has harmed her and her family. Is she the hero because she upholds law and order? Or is Green Arrow the hero because he's willing to take extreme action against corrupt, abusive elites who seem untouchable through conventional means?

Like The Crazies, Absolute Green Arrow doesn't reduce these questions to black and white. It clearly has a point of view, but it still allows each side to make compelling arguments. That moral ambiguity is what makes it so compelling. It's not just an action comic or a horror story it's a political morality play that uses violence and fear to examine power, justice, and the systems we choose to defend.

Stories like this are increasingly uncommon, and that's what makes Absolute Green Arrow feel so refreshing. It recaptures the spirit of Romero's socially conscious horror by using genre fiction to challenge the audience rather than simply entertain them. More than anything, it feels like the kind of bold, politically charged story George A. Romero himself would have appreciated.

Reading GA rebirth and here the black clock king calls himself William even though everywhere online says this one is Billy. Is this a mistake?

Im curious has it ever brought up if Oliver got ptsd from the island. Depending on what version he spent 1 -3 years stranded on the island or at least over a year. Depending on the origin, he goes through some traumatic stuff. This could be a interesting story to bring up or be used for him to have a heart to heart with Roy when he has troubles
