I know the Absolute book has most of the Green Arrow hype right now, but starting with #1107 Green Arrow and Black Canary have been starring alongside Batman in Detective Comics. What are everybody's opinions on it so far? I haven't been reading it, but I was considering checking it out if it was good.
>THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS!
>With the lives of his closest friends and some newly forged allies on the line, Marc Spector makes one hell of a gambit! But will the price be too high?! And will this put MOON KNIGHT at odds with the likes of DAREDEVIL BLADE, GHOST RIDER and CLEA forever?!
>Looking at the new Midnight Sons roster, Daredevil immediately stands out as someone not quite like the others. He's not a hero normally associated with horror and the supernatural. As MacKay explains, the fact that Daredevil is a bit of an odd man out is exactly makes him such a fitting inclusion.
>"I mean, Daredevil has spent a not-insignificant portion of his life fighting a cult of undead ninjas who work for a demon," MacKay says. "But beyond that, I wanted to include a character who was the odd man out, someone who is skeptical of the whole endeavor. More than anyone else on this iteration of the Midnight Sons, Daredevil is the foil to Moon Knight- while they're more alike than either would like to admit, the differences between them will threaten to break everything apart."
Moon Knight and Clea are forming a new Midnight Sons team. It would seem that the members aren't just random either, it's a spell. Each member is one of the major arcana. We have:
Moon Knight = The Moon (which represents the subconscious)
Clea = The Empress (which represents the Divine Feminine)
Daredevil = The Devil (which represents addiction)
Ghost Rider = The Chariot (which represents determination)
Blade = The Hermit (which represents solitude)
OK, so. Everybody is having a lot of fun speculating about the identity of the Longbow Killer. That's fine, and I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, however, I do think people need to put a pinch of salt on the "undead Oliver" idea. I've seen people theorise that it involves the Spectre. I've seen people say it's Gentleman Ghost or Deadman. I've seen people say Lazarus pits or technology. And yeah, it COULD be any of these things but also it might not be any of these things. I've seen people straight up state it is undead Ollie like it's a fact, and that has me worried beacuse people are going to work themselves into a shoot and end up disappointed.
Long story short: don't get too attached to your theories or your just going to end up let down.
