Green Arrow #3

/ / Comics

The problem with basing an entire comic around a mysterious secret kept from both characters in the comic and from the readers is that once revealed, if it turns out to be dumb as fuck, the entire house of cards you built collapses in on itself. That’s what happens in Green Arrow #3 as Ollie and Lian are pulled into the future to join Connor Hawke and the Legion of Super-Heroes where it’s revealed an older version of Oliver Queen allowed Amanda Waller to play interdimensional hop-scotch with his entire family for something they might do on one particular timeline.

Well there’s a half-hour of my life I’ll never get back. Not Dead Yet is a workplace comedy that forgot the comedy.

  • IMDb: link

Attempting to breathe a little life into the franchise, Bring It On: Cheer or Die crosses genres while offering us a plucky squad of underdog cheerleaders cheering for an over-cautious school 20 years after the competition accident. Starting with the basic cheer formula with the squad working to overcome the odds, the tone shifts into horror when the cheerleaders are taken out one by one after choosing to hold secret practices in the old abandoned high school.
