Darkwing Duck #6

What begins as Darkwing Duck and Gosalyn (dressed up as his new sidekick) attempting to bring in the resurrected Dr. NoGood who has brainwashed the children of St. Canard takes several twist and turns including Darkwing even temporarily allying himself with Megavolt (which goes about as well as expected as it turns into a double-cross against our hero).

Green Arrow #3

The problem with basing an entire comic around a mysterious secret kept from both characters in the comic and from the readers is that once revealed, if it turns out to be dumb as fuck, the entire house of cards you built collapses in on itself. That’s what happens in Green Arrow #3 as Ollie and Lian are pulled into the future to join Connor Hawke and the Legion of Super-Heroes where it’s revealed an older version of Oliver Queen allowed Amanda Waller to play interdimensional hop-scotch with his entire family for something they might do on one particular timeline.
