Morrigan2575 October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 What they didn't count fridging Sara as an "easter egg"? LOL Link to comment
foreverevolving October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 That looks nothing like Barrowman, or Willa. i continue to be unimpressed by the graphic in this comic. Link to comment

tv echo October 23, 2014 Share October 23, 2014 I'm putting this here because of the DC Comics references... Arrow: Easter Eggs and DC Comics References in "Corto Maltese"By Russ Burlingame 10/22/2014http://comicbook.com/2014/10/23/arrow-easter-eggs-and-dc-comics-references-in-corto-maltese/ Link to comment
foreverevolving October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I continue to be unimpressed by the graphics, especially Diggle and Felicity, Oliver too. Fakanary on the other hand actually looks good, and even better than the actress she's sketched upon. meh. i will continue to not buy the comics and just get my fix through the internet. nothing so far about Arrow 2.5 has proven to me that i should spend my money on it. 2 Link to comment
apinknightmare October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I really don't appreciate Oliver's head to neck ratio. Laurel actually looks pretty good. Who is that supposed to be in the last frame? Link to comment

Soulfire October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I think the Arrow Season 2.5 comics prove that Laurel Lance is a character that works a lot better on paper than on screen. 4 Link to comment
Danny Franks October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 Hey, comic book Laurel has the same vacant, 'I'm supposed to be startled about something, but I can't remember what' stare that Katie Cassidy does. Good job, artist, good job. 3 Link to comment
Morrigan2575 October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I swear, it's a new shitty artist every issue. 1 Link to comment
foreverevolving October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I think the Arrow Season 2.5 comics prove that Laurel Lance is a character that works a lot better on paper than on screen. She's well written just not well acted. and hence where i say: if they had just recasted to a better actress they would have not had to deal with alot of the issues they are currently facing. Many shows reacast a main character between shooting the pilot and airing it, they recast and reshot all the scenes the actor was on. Charmed did it with Phoebe. that's the best example I have off the top of my head. I watched the unaired pilot - actually went online to look for it (way back a little under a decade ago). let's just say: smart move. 1 Link to comment
calliope1975 October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 As if Oliver has any nerve to be questioning when someone asks if someone might not be dead. You Sir, have no idea what that word means as we'll find out next episode. 4 Link to comment
Danny Franks October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 I swear, it's a new shitty artist every issue. Yeah, that happens with low priority books like this. It's something I didn't notice too much as a kid, but now it's just glaring, when art fluctuates that much between issues. Especially now, when a lot of people wait and but TPB versions of comic books. Usually it's a combination of guys you've never heard of, who Marvel, DC or whoever can use on the cheap, to push a book out quickly. Then you've got those guys who have let their work deteriorate hugely, to meet deadlines. Guys like Mark Bagley and John Romita Jr, who used to be good, but now draw complete trash. I almost prefer perfectionists like John Cassaday, who take so long that the books they work on are delayed for months. And I think I would prefer that than to see crummy filler artists. In these panels, Oliver looks like a Rob Liefeld reject. Wonder if he has any feet? Link to comment
Morrigan2575 October 24, 2014 Share October 24, 2014 Sad to hear about Romita, he did the art for Uncanny X-Men back in the day, I really enjoyed his work. Andrea Sorentino is a wonderful artist, his replacement on GA comics is decent but generic. One of the BoP issues (the Zero Year tie in) had 3 different artist in one issue it was so jarring. 1 Link to comment
foreverevolving October 25, 2014 Share October 25, 2014 I don't understand why they don't just start sketching issues a year before release?! (or do they?) this way it give the good artists enough time to bring out perfectly sketched issues but also to replace shitty ones. Link to comment
Angel12d October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Just read the latest 2.5 and I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed. Again. Not only are they too short for anything to really happen but the drawing is pretty amateurish. 1 Link to comment

Not only are they too short for anything to really happen but the drawing is pretty amateurish. They're bi-weekly comics, a monthly title provides 32 @ $2.99 or 48 pages @ $3.99 (DC prices). With the digital 2.5 comics it looks like you're getting a 48 page comic divided into 3 parts and released every other week for $2.97 instead of $3.99.

I just wish they were a little longer each time, that's all. It takes me less than five minutes to read it and every time I think 'Oh, that's it?' I bought into the hype I suppose. Link to comment
apinknightmare October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 The fact that Oliver suited up while wearing a sling is killing me. Looks like Digg and Laurel are friendly. Link to comment
Chaser October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 The comics so far have been kinda…okay…I guess. I don't know. I tend to forget they exist until I see comments and then I remember to check them out. The Diggle and Laurel interaction was weird. Link to comment
apinknightmare October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 The Diggle and Laurel interaction was weird. It was weird for me in that I thought we'd get to see how she became friendly with these people, but she's giving Diggle comforting shoulder touches, so...I guess not. But months later she's still at the point with Felicity where Felicity's asking her if they're friends? IDK 1 Link to comment
Chaser October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I didn't get it either. Them bonding over coma people and her touching his shoulder to tell him to go find Oliver? I can't see that on the show. If she has been hanging out in the Foundry helping out the Team (which is not really the impression I got on the show), why is Felicity questioning if they are friends? Has she been bonding with Diggle, but not with Felicity? And if so, why? Link to comment
Password October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Sometimes this show really wearies my soul with it's continuity. How did they manage to get Team Arrow (O, D & F) so right, but everyone else is so..but anyway. 2 Link to comment
AustenChick October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 Um, in 2.5 latest issue, can I ask why Roy is sedated? He woke up and was cognizant in Unthinkable. Link to comment
apinknightmare October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 Um, in 2.5 latest issue, can I ask why Roy is sedated? He woke up and was cognizant in Unthinkable. He got hurt during a mission in chapter two and oliver doesn't want to take him to a hospital. Link to comment
wonderwall October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 (edited) So I found this interesting fact: Apparently in the comics, Oliver and Dinah's marriage in the comics happens after the adoption of the Comic Code in 1954 banning any sexual relationships unless the characters are married which questions the legitimacy of this union. Did they marry off Oliver and Dinah because of the code? Or did they marry them off because that seemed like a legitimate step in Oliver and Dinah's relationship? The fact that Oliver still cheats on Dinah after getting married makes me think it's the former. This is just another rebuttal against the comic canon argument. I see no reason why the writers have to follow canon on the show... Edited October 28, 2014 by wonderwall 5 Link to comment
Morrigan2575 October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 They didn't get married until 2007 and were living together in the 80s. Not sure how that applies. Link to comment
Angel12d October 29, 2014 Share October 29, 2014 Oh wow. I thought she went to prison, at least I assumed she did given the last time we saw her she was in handcuffs at the Police station. Unless I missed something, how did she get out?! Interesting. I wonder if this means she'll be back this season too. Link to comment
Starfish35 October 29, 2014 Share October 29, 2014 What?!? I thought she was in prison! Link to comment
foreverevolving October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 So does this put huntress back on the suspect list for "who killed Sara?" Link to comment
Genki October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 (edited) So does this put huntress back on the suspect list for "who killed Sara?" Can't be Helena…because Cannon!! Lol, couldn't resist. Question for anyone who has read this weeks comic, was it any good? Was it all Laurel? Was buying them, but they are such a tease and last one they rehashed stuff I saw on screen….boring!!

quarks October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 Ooooh, oooh! Does this mean that Oliver will get green goggles on the show????? (Arguably the least important question to ask here, but, I AM ASKING.) 1 Link to comment
olicityfan25 October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 I love it. This will be my second purchase. All because of Felicity Smoak! It was only a matter of time that they would add her to the comics. It would've looked really bad if they didn't. Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 Huh! I remember that Green Arrow cover with Felicity looking a little different when the teaser came out. Wasn't she in some sort of suit, one that looked almost metallic? Love the tease, though. I'm definitely thinking of checking it out. Link to comment
Trini October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 I wonder why they changed the art? (Or why the first art was the way it was) Link to comment
wonderwall November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 I don't know how I feel about comic Felicity... She seems like a stalker :p Link to comment
KenyaJ November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 I get taken out of the story by the fact that she refers to a quarter-life crisis, but comic Felicity looks like she's in her late forties. Link to comment

apinknightmare November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 (edited) Oliver looks......... terrible? He looks like a 40 something year old dude. Hey now, being 40-something and looking terrible do not go hand-in-hand!!! My issue is that he looks like a bug with a smooshed face, a hairy, out-of-control unibrow that's grown onto his forehead, and an overbite from hell.

calliope1975 November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 You know, I thought about picking up this issue, because Felicity!, but the more of the art I see, the more I think I'll be okay without it. Because this is very accurate: My issue is that he looks like a bug with a smooshed face, a hairy, out-of-control unibrow that's grown onto his forehead, and an overbite from hell. Link to comment
