whoops.
Is the thread here on the YABS board? Ill ask a mod to take mine down if it is.
It is on YABS, but I don't remember what thread it was. It doesn't matter anyway, because I don't think this comic was that thread's intended topic, so it deserves a thread of it's own. :p

Is that like being a narcoleptic insomniac?
You really need to get out more. :rolleyes:

The parody made more sense than Winick's version.

More like an arachnaphobic Spiderman, a vine allergic Tarzan or a non-dick like Batman.

It was ugly, Stell'.
I suppose if someone wanted to prevent Di from using her canary scream without killing her, that's one option that hadn't been tried up until that point.

Oh, gee! That is funny! And, alas, it does make more sense than the "real" book!

"She is Brock Samson in fishnets." (Ollie = Molotov Cocktease? Eeew.)
That, and the "I really miss having Gail Simone as my writer" are the best lines in that thing.

I loved the Warlord joke at the end. Makes me miss the days of Grell, and his ability to balance tragedy and comedy like a real pro.

Ha! This is Deep-Fried Awesome with a side order of Awesomeness.
At least the art in this book is pretty.

Judd... when you don't know how to write a female character properly, it doesn't hurt to ask someone who does.

I really hope Matt Morrison writes the book once this arc is over! That was hilarious!

Matt always makes us proud :)
and yeah, the parody was much better balanced and dialogued than the actual version.

Yeah, and they could just put "Morrison" on the cover and it'd jack up sales because everyone would think it was Grant... :)

This was great.
But it made me mourn that such fine art was wasted on the story. But, hey, at least I read this version, which is no doubt more fun than the original.
I was cracking up over the sex talk between Dr. Midnight and Batman.

They used the "Whoops! It's not Ollie, it's Travis" plot twist in the previous Green Arrow comic.

Right, that one time, as a joke. Unless I missed something.

twice. Grell did it because people kept bitching about how they looked the same. so he took the gag and ran with it and wrote 2 fun issues. Then Dixon tried it and.......um......well......yeah......recycling a gag never works. but since that seems to be all that Winick is acapable of.....as I said in the other thread. it will prbably turn out to be travis on the island who says Ollie is in skataris so they go there where they find out that it was really everyones favorite shapeshifting black kitty pretending to be ollie who then find out Ollie actually accidentally locked himself in the basement of his mansion and dinah was just too stupid a blonde to bother to go to his house to see if he was home......yep....that's a winick script.....
oh wait..... and Ollie will have been trapped in there with thunder and will be banging her the whole time......for no reason than she has a vagina
now *extend it and draw the word out fr a few seconds* it's a Winnick script

Missed Chuck's, then. I think. It's probably deeply buried in my longboxes and pushed out of my brainboxes.

haha. I would say that's probably a good thing but I actually liked his connor hawke stuff once he got Ollie out of the way.

Eh. The guy made his point in one word balloon. The rest seemed like filler.

The parody. Good parody will take a shot and move on.
"Oh crap, this writer is writing me.." type comment only needed to be said once.

Then it's shit-parody. Fitting considering who and what he's parodying.
