Stargirl: The Lost Children #2 Discussion/Spoilers

[Rakzo]

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.

I agree for Emiko. It's a good add to use this origins for motivation to search the forgotten children.

Also, it's a good thing the plot don't lose time to advance (Not like some bald writer who would took more time before the plot move up u_u)

Liked this issue too. The mystery becomes interesting and I'm intrigued about Airwave.

And yes, this is the first time that I liked Emiko, in the majority of the runs she appeared, she was pretty obnoxious and annoying.

[sifighter]

Yeah I like Emiko and Courtney’s dynamic, especially with how much Courtney is worrying for Emiko.

The story is moving at a good place and I like how the art plays against the more serious subject matters such as a bunch of kidnapped children. Personally I can’t wait for Courtney to meet some seriously missing kids like Judy, just because she knows Jay and what that would mean to him.

This solves the long-standing plot from the Superboy series on what happened to the Newsboy Legion clones after the fall of Project Cadmus.
Also on what happens to the first Minute Man Jimmy Hourman sidekick, before Thorndyke.

[Myskin]

Egg Fu is clearly involved in the plot.

[Dr. Poison]

The mystery builds and has me even more intrigued as to who's behind the missing sidekicks. I love Courtney and Emiko's friendship. They really get each other. I hope they get an ongoing book(with some of the other sidekicks) after this mini-series is over. Todd's design for Air Wave is my favorite ever. So happy to see him back in his classic green & yellow costume.

Egg Fu is clearly involved in the plot.

He was the first character I thought about when I saw the egg shaped robot.

[Frontier]

Has Boxing Glove Arrow not appeared in the last few years? I'm sure he's used it again.

I remember it in Injustice Year Zero

[Lucas 35]

Green Arrow 80th Anniversary Special?

Such a great fun read. I wonder if Miraclo has something to do with their lack of aging?
It would be funny because in my head-canon that’s how I’d explain the slower aging of the original Hour man.

I thought of Nanny from the X-books

It can’t be, as soon as Dan Dyna-Mite landed on the island his age reverted from old man to being a kid again. I’m thinking magic.

Honestly same here.

Odds this entire 6-issue series is completed before JSA #2 is released? I'm thinking it's 50/50 at this point.
