Scans: Green Arrow & Black Canary Wedding Special
So, eventually the whole wedding shenanigans gets worked out and all that's left for Ollie and Dinah is to go through the ceremony (yeah, right).
This issue had a bunch of weirddd characterization moments, but I am happy to forgive a lot of the weirdness because I love Amanda Conner's art so very much. She's the artist currently in charge of Power Girl, and she has a talent for faces that I think is just as good as Maguire's. The writing is by Judd Winnick, read with discretion!
So.. behind the cut, 14 scans in which: Diana sticks her foot in her mouth, Clark gets all bright eyed about wedding bells, the girls have a bachelorette party, Dinah swears a lot, Scott Free looks adorable, Bruce looks seriously like a squirrel and Ollie and Dinah get married (sort of).
So the issue starts with one of those 'wait, what?' characterization moments. Dinah and Ollie are getting it on (on panel! lots of sex on panel on GA books, I'm noticing. HEY KIDS!! COMICS.) and Dinah tells Ollie to stop. Because she wants to not make love until they marry, d'aww. ...except, as Ollie quickly points out, that ship sailed ages ago. This whole scene doesn't really make much sense? but.. the art makes me laugh!
Snapper Carr! whut.
THAT FOURTH PANEL KILLS ME EVERY TIME!! hahahaha!
Ollie is so my brother in this comic. Groomzilla! EVERYTHING MUST BE PERFECT, IT'S MY WEDDING MY SPECIAL DAYYY.
So, their friends reactions are.. a mixed bag.
Awww, J'onn!! he looks like such a proud mamma, lol. Also, haha, Snapper Carr.
Yeahhh.. I think Diana is bullshitting her way out of her faux pas here. Let's see if it works.
Yep, that was totally bullshitting her way out of offending Clark! But omg, I can't even pay attention because Clark is so bright eyed and HAPPY and BOY does he LOVES weddings!
I never thought Dr. Sivana could be described as 'cute', but what do you know.
I want an icon of Deathstroke in that first panel going 'Teehee!'. Hhoww?? Hhoww can the art be so adorable???
So, Dinah has her bachelorette party. There's a bit of the party in the JLA Wedding Special but since it's a lot plottier there than here, and I am ignoring the plot for the sake of silly wedding shenanigans, and also I like the art here a lot better, you get the silly wedding shenanigans instead of the asskicking the girls promptly deliver after the party in JLA.
Lois! :D
I'm going to let that third panel speak for itself.
Spread! Wedding photo spread! They marry at the Cave (not the Batcave!), the first JLA base where Dinah and Ollie met. Awww. I love love Buddy and his wife and Scott and Barda X) so cute! but there's so much going on here...
Ta-daaa! the wedding gown! XD I have to say, superhero wedding in-costume as this is, I really love Dinah's choice. Very.. fitting.
In between these two scans Dinah fights Slade for her wedding ring in another crazy bridezilla characterization bwuh? I don't know, it feels OOC, and yet.. it was funny. It was funny and it makes my life living with Groomzilla get some perspective.
Batman! hiii! you look like a squirrel there!
Dinah's tongue cracks me up X)
Oh man! I love those last 3 panels! J'onn and Starfire and Zatanna sticking their tongues at the camera! Dinah yelling at the villains who crashed the wedding! Clark and Ollie being all O_o at her yelling! man, such adorable art.
And that's the (first) GA&BC wedding! turns out this wasn't GA but a shapeshifter because Ollie gets kidnapped around the time Slade appears so fake!Ollie tries to kill Dinah in their wedding night and Dinah kills him instead. Later, they find Ollie (after lots of Ollie running around naked, that's GA for you) and more nonsense happens, but they have another, more private and simple wedding. I'll post a couple of scans from that too, 'cause. It was also cute.
WEDDINGS. SO CRAZY.
