Green Arrow and Devil Dinosaur


 While this final season of The Flash has been lacking for me, I did enjoy the return of Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen for an episode.  It reminded me of the early days of the series as well as Arrow, which were pretty good.  James Gunn says he is a huge fan of Green Arrow, so I am interested to see where the hero will show up next in live action.

I agree about Arrow's return on Flash. Very good.
As for the cover here, i can only hope Oliver has a massive T-Bone for the T-Rex.

Personally, I think they over-relied on those crossovers during Season 1.

I could be wrong. But, it looks like those velociraptors have been Venomized. Or is that "Venomated"?

i just love this cover, it would make me buy the comic just from the cover alone, but wonder if they meet up with the Warlord ( Mike Grells best comic )

I've noticed the pattern on this final season, though: it's wrapping up loose ends, and featuring visits from the other Arrowverse shows. Red Death was hinted at during the Godspeed storyline, and that's been paid off; and with Ollie's return we also got Bloodwork's story arc completed. Besides Green Arrow, we've seen Batwoman and Dreamer (I guess Melissa Benoist wasn't available), and even gotten an audio cameo from Professor Stein. Even Kid Flash has come back for a final appearance. I'm hoping we get to see Superman and the Legends before all is done; I'm also interested to see how the Caitlyn/Frost/Khione thing resolves. I expect we'll be seeing the kids come back from the future, and Jay Garrick is just as sure to return; I'm not sure if we'll get to see Jessie Quick. And if there's any justice, we'll get at least a cameo from Ralph (though I doubt it).

As for today's cover, I think I would've preferred to see Ollie mounted on DD's head, but otherwise it's just fantastic.

Have you seen the Disney Channel show "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur"?

Carycomic said...

It's not even part of my local provider's basic cable programming package!

MG&DD is also on Disney+. It's a real hoot.

@Bob G, strongly doubtful you'll see Superman on the same Earth with Flash and Supergirl. A couple times Barry has referred to the other heroes and while he mentioned Kara and Martian Manhunter, he has not referenced Superman. My belief is that when Ollie /Spectre started the new multiverse, he gave Supergirl to the Flash's Earth but gave Superman to an Earth of his own.

Carycomic said...

That's probably a good thing. It would be complicated enough if Power Girl showed up in the soon-to-be-defunct Arrowverse with her power to keep men from looking her in the eye. Can you imagine how the Lois of "Superman & Lois" would react to seeing her sons fall victim to that same power?

Insert "horrified shudder" here.

@Tobor: John Diggle's story arc carried him to Smallville once or twice, so that's a clear tie-in. I just wish the writers for that show wouldn't keep ignoring the rest of the world, and the fact that Kara even exists.

Which version of Kara; Melissa Benoist version or Laura Vandevoort?

Bob Greenwade said...

@Anon@11:40: Benoist. We're talking about the Arrowverse here, no Smallville. Please keep up.

Tell that to the writers of "Superman and Lois." :P
