Some thoughts about Stargirl: The Lost Children #2


How can they figure out the disappearance of the original sidekicks?

Stargirl and Emiko have been looking for clues in the old Arrow Cave and that will lead them to a mysterious island which connects to children that have been gone for decades.

Oh God, this pleases me immensely.

Geoff Johns offers a new installment where he continues to explore the mystery of the missing Golden Age sidekicks and by doing so, he also starts exploring the origins of Green Arrow. Yes, we see laughable stuff like the Arrow Cave and the Boxing Glove Arrow but more important than that, Johns showcases some of the most famous villains in Green Arrow's Rogues Gallery including the obvious Merlyn and even the most obscure Bull's-Eye and this is one of the things that makes me believe that Johns would be perfect for a Green Arrow book, he can bring back old concepts that people don't even bother with.

The characterization is pretty good since the dynamic between Courtney and Emiko continues to shine, the latter is especially well-portrayed since in just a few scenes, Johns was able to make Emiko more sympathetic because of her origin than the entirety of Ben Percy's run (which is not saying much mind you since Emiko was extremely obnoxious there). The plot itself continues to progress appropriately and leads us to the next logical step.

Todd Nauck remains on art duties and his work is still amazing, he was probably the perfect pick for this book due that he's able to make the characters very expressive while maintaining an energetic look for a lot of the segments.

Good chapter, things are getting better and better.
