james_desantis 's review for:
The Wedding Album
by Judd Winick
This has to be one of the most jarring shifts in tone I've ever seen.
So this is it, the marriage begins! Of course being superheroes you know this isn't going to work the way they want. When the wedding begins the invasion of super villains starts and heroes get hurt. Even more so, one might even die! However, we then head to the amazon island and it remains light and entertaining. Then...the last half of this book goes super dark when someone gets badly wounded and results in some very emotional moments.
Good: The fights are highly entertaining and fun. The pacing is quick and a nice read. The emotional gut punch in the later half hurts, especially a single page that really hurt to read. The whole second half is actually really well done and sad and I did feel some happiness at the last couple of pages. Also, Black Canary still the best. Also, there's an amazing, AMAZING, superman scene here.
Bad: The 1st half, while fun, is kind of light. A certain "death" that turns out not really to be a death is kind of meh reveal. I also thought the art took a bit to get used to here, more cartoony.
Overall, loved it. Judd Winick is probably going to go down as my favorite long running Green Arrow run writer. Him, Jeff Lemire, Percy, and more really give a lot of lore and story to this awesome character. A 4 out of 5.
