GREEN ARROW/ BLACK CANARY WEDDING SPECIAL #1

Who invited Snapper Carr to the Wedding? That question is essentially what sparks off the ticking time bomb that is the wedding of Green Arrow and Black Canary. While the duo is having their bachelor/ette parties, evil is plotting to ruin the blessed event.

In true superhero fashion, the nuptials are ruined when a slew of DC’s baddest villains invade the Emerald Archer’s wedding ceremony.

Great art. Very funny at times. If it seems like a copy of Fantastic Four Annual #3 when Reed and Sue got married, that’s forgivable. What is not forgivable is the book’s ending.

In what is getting to be a huge pet peeve of mine, this book ends with a cliff-hanger that requires me to buy issue #1 of Green Arrow/ Black Canary. I hate being surprised like that. Normally, I do run out and get those cliffhanging issues, but this time, I wasn’t too invested and I sought out Wikipedia for answers.

For what I did read of this book, it was Worth Consuming.

Black Canary Wedding Planner #1

Having been and on-again/ off-again couple since the late 60s, Green Arrow and Black Canary are finally going to tie the knot. The time for the nuptials is quickly approaching. Only, the recent crime wave of the Countdown storyline is keeping Canary from getting anything done.

So, with help from Arrow, and her bridesmaids, Black Canary has developed a checklist, a Wedding Planner of sorts. This very funny issue explores her mishaps as she tries to do everything in order to make it a special day. The art is really good and the planner format of the 2nd act is very clever. However, I really think DC missed out selling an actual Black Canary wedding planner for the comic book lad and lady wanting to tie the not in sequential art fashion.
