So just curious do any of you have GA comics that are not the show related or not related to the New 52? Do you guys have any of the older books?

I'm mostly a Marvel reader, back in the 90's I was collecting every X-title plus Deadpool book. I'm more selective now but still more Marvel than DC.

I own The Longbow Hunters and Year One, bought them on recomendations from GA/Arrow fans. I'm thinking about picking up some of the BoP trades from Gail Simone's years. There's quite a few volumes so if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Everything else is The New 52, I'm tempted to buy the GA/GL books but they might be too "old" to get into.

GA #25 was released this week and it's really good. It basically brought the Oliver/Diggle relationship on Arrow into the main GA title as part of Oliver/GA's Origin year.

Interesting, I've seen interviews where they mentioned always planning on having Sara be alive, they even point to the scene where Laurel asked Oliver if Sara suffered, they say you can see the pain on Oliver's face because he knew Sara survived The Gambit. They said they told Stephen Amell that Oliver knew Sara survived and to play the scene that way.

I know they foreshadowed the Canary thing back in S1 with the mention that Lance bought Sara a canary. I have to admit that was a beautiful scene, I loved the Sara/Lance interaction they had me tearing up a couple of times. However, I'm hesitant to believe they had this all planned from the beginning, that's J. Michael Stazinsky/Babylon 5 level planning .

GA/GL are certainly not "too old" to get into. I have a couple of them. I have a lot of the 1980s stuff with Shado. And then of course I have the GA/BC book 'At Long Last?' (or something like that).

In terms of the comics I'm a DC girl through and through though I do have a few Marvel comics.

A lot of my collection consists mainly of Superman comics with GA being the next and then others like JLA, GL, Flash, Supergirl, Superboy. Will never get WW though. I can tolerate her but I've never liked her.

DarkStar

Cool, thanks. I'll take a look at those GA/GL books.

Is there a good page which has an overview what comics there are?

After tonight's episode! I've been thinking of when we'd see Lyla become the official Harbinger? That's her alias with her organization; but where is her ability to split herself into different forms? I think she can do this; but keeps it secret.

Just saw this on tumblr

Who is Ed? And who is that girl with that Flash?

ShadowhunterღReader

I don't know.. but whoever posted that wasn't too happy about it cuz of Arrow with Laurel and so on..

DarkStar

Ed Raymond, Firestorm's father and Felicty Smoak's husband, pre-52.

If that's Barry Allen's Flash, idhave to assume, it's Iris West.

ShadowhunterღReader

So there was a Felicity Smoak in the comics? That's interesting

kostilicious

Yep

But what I didn't know is, that she wasn't blonde... but I guess that's why our Felicity had the line, her hair were dyed..

ShadowhunterღReader

Makes sense yeah

I know that Oliver and Dinah don't end up together in the comics but what about Flash and Iris, my Flash knowledge is lacking?

Does he bring her back to life in the end or it is some alternate universe?

kostilicious

Okay.. now I'm confused.. I thoguht they'd get married and have a girl..


Is Iris dead?
