Green Arrow #1
Hoo boy. Written by a guy most famous for his work on the GGA series Fathom can't a good sign and guess what. IT ISN'T.*
For starters, Green Arrow is Steve Jobs - although to be honest that seems an easy mistake to make.
Anyway,
this is the very definition of filler. We get a pointless fight with
three minor villains that are so hackneyed it's almost unbelievable (a
strong guy, one that controls electricity and a woman with two faces and
four arms, that look like they've wandered in by accident from a lazy
mid-80s X-Franchise) and some loose references to YouTube, nightclubs
and happyslapping** to make it "current" and "edgy", I have visions of
J.T. Krul sitting at home in a Global HyperColour t-shirt thinking how
AWESOME he looks.
Getting to #3 will be a struggle, but going past there will be a mistake.
* This gives me the PH34R about Captain Atom too, because he's writing it too. Boo.

For our American friends, Happyslapping was a media outrage in Britain
in 2005, when cameraphones that did video were a new thing. It didn't
really last long, despite the attempts of the Daily Mail amongst others
to portray it as evidence of BROKEN BRITAIN.
Quite why it's in here I have no idea, but for evidence that it is:
It's
also the splash page too. Wait, it can't be just HIS BUSINESS IS
COMPUTERS SO HE IS FUTURISTIC LET'S TURN HIS DOWNFALL ONTO HIS Q-PAD DO
YOU SEE, can it? Is anybody that stupid?
No, don't answer that.
