God, I've run this at least four times as an SoP, and every single time someone comes in and goes "What the fuck, this is real?"

This. This right here is what kills the book for me. This is actually a reasonably strong opening that does a good job of establishing the characters and the conflict.

And then it's like the thing goes out of its way to completely ruin it. "Hey, that was an emotionally gripping and well done intro. How can we fuck it up?". Goddamn.

>>94049126
So many ass shots.

>That YJ thread
Jeez.

>>94049028
is that Dick in the bat suit?

>>94049547
Yes.

>tfw the first time you read this you forgot about dickbats and were why everyone was calling Batman a dick

>>94049759
I shouldn't laugh, but fucking lol

>>94049451
Huge credit to Dinah here, letting that comment slide. Especially given that she had once adopted a kid, but had to let her go.

Again, there are good moments, including this one, constantly being undermined by everything else. It's perfectly understandable that Roy is lashing out, but the problem is that he doesn't stop doing that.

And if this was supposed to be a straight tragedy, of a hero losing his way due to personal loss destroying his mind, well it was poorly done.

>>94049793
Fuck, you made me laugh with your post, I was actually having le feels moments

i am unironically being entertained by this

>>94049276
Fuck this still makes me mad

>>94049829
oh boy, wonder what was happening in the Green Arrow ongoing back in then.

>>94049968
You might like Titans: Villains for Hire, which is almost a sequel to this. It manages to be maximum tryhardness

>>94049982
I haven't read that entire volume of Green Arrow but I thought during the Smith/Meltzer runs Roy and Ollie had gotten past this stuff. .

>>94049898
Why did they let Ollie keep his costume? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

In my opinion, this is every bit as groanworthy as that thing where superheroes attend a funeral in their costumes. I fucking HATE that.

>>94050048
every bad things must resurrect

>>94050074
You posted too soon
>>94050180

>>94050346
ok this is too much

>>94050180
Seriously, does the creative team assume we're stupid and can't tell who these people are without their costumes? It's a funeral, you idiots, dress appropriately.

>>94050346
Did Roy forget that TERRY LONG, an adult who hung around older teenagers, divorced her and took the kids because she could not give up being a superhero?

Well, this is better than I remember desu.

>>94050024
Also Molten Vagina Woman, who was the best part

This sucks because there's a good comic in here
It could be a good tragedy

>>94050748

how does that make sense as a weapon?

I started reading manga recently and all the reasons that this is an infamously bad comic are par for the course in manga.

Nobody would even bat an eye at the retarded shit that happens in this book in manga-shit

>>94049276
Man I was with it until the last panel and now laughing.

>>94051205

this is hilarious!

man, when I read SoP's I expect cringe and RAEG to the max, not feels...

>>94051515
Explain

>>94051772
That action sequence doesn't make any sense.

>>94051846
okay, as i keep reading, i see the cringe.

>they literally let Ollie go.
this isn't even funny.

>>94052254
HA, JUSTICE MY ASS

>>94052374
they let him go weeks before this, killing Prometheus didn't get him anything leveled against him because the jury let him off, he did kill a super villian that just fucked the very city in which the case took place, did you THINK he would get charged?

do you think anyone would charge a man who killed the fuck out of some mass murder, even in cold blood?

>>94052465
Then what is he doing in the fucking prison?

>>94052526
he walked in.

>>94052542
I mean, I'd kill the fuck out of some guy who killed my daughter.

fuck heroics, Ollie "got his" so he of course is now back on the "by the law" shit.

>>94052546

this page >>94051866 says otherwise.

>>94052656
yea well the main issues detailing Green Arrow says even more otherwise.

>>94051663
>first panel
I'm fucking dead. I laughed too hard at a toddlers head on an infant

so did she come back with the reboot, or was this it?

what a slow fucking burn of a character, Roy, and I suppose his daughter as well, since they spend so much fucking time talking about child murder.

That's all I've got for you today /co/. Make sure you check out the other storytimes (and help bump).

>>94050534
I was going to ask who the babymama was but guess this answers that.

>>94052374
I know, right?
It should be batman stopping roy in this page.
Only he would be retarded enough to protect someone who literally just leveled an entire city

>>94051205
I don't know, the art makes this hilarious, but story-wise, it's about a guy out of his head on physical pain, emotional pain and drugs. This all seems well in line really.

I enjoyed this thank OP

>>94051709
I always worry about being locked in a place like this, with nothing but your devils and nightmares to talk to. At home I can at least read a comic or watch a show or something, but all alone in a room of nothing like that. I don't think I could survive, could only beat my head on try to stop breathing to try and render myself unconscious.

>>94050408
Anyone who's unmasked I cna mostly agree with, but bear in mind quite a few of the masked ones have secret identities they can't really risk revealing so they just stay in uniform. And Dr. Fate is literally the helmet, so.

>>94050748
He needed an outlet and he's fighting her with an extension cord. This is some deep shit.

>>94050828
Rookie error. He needs to crush those blue pills instead of those erectile dysfunction ones.

>>94050214
I dont get it

>>94051205
Holy shit. I get it now sempai.

>>94050346

Murder and now arson! What's behind door #3??

>>94052026
>>94051515
Manga is B+W, so less staff, with a much larger indie market, and it's wider as well, so there's a lot more garbage that can get out there.

>>94051205
Masterpiece

>yfw current comic so shit, Rise of Arsenal look decent enough

>>94050346
he isn't wrong

All I want out of the Third Season of Young Justice is Aresnal to hold a dead cat.
