"Oh, my god-- Is that Robin?! Spooky didn't even mention it to me... It wasn't drugs, was it? I mean him and Roy hung out a lot, and I'd hate to think that he..."

Green Arrow Vol. 3 #7.

That's why nobody likes you Ollie. And Jason was in heaven.

why did cissie retire? would you want her to become a hero again?

Cissie retired because after seeing something very traumatic (her high school guidance counselor being shot and killed) her strong emotional reaction led to her attempting to kill the person responsible. She didn’t trust herself to be a hero anymore after nearly crossing that line, if Kon hadn’t intervened and caught the arrow then she would have taken the guy’s life.

(Young Justice Vol. 1 #16)

That’s the primary reason but two additional factors are the weight of the responsibility—when she pulls out some moves in a public setting she sees some children who seem to want to imitate her, which she finds concerning.

(Young Justice Vol. 1 #16)

And her motivations for being Arrowette in the first place. Initially she was just doing what her mother told her to—Bonnie King being basically a superhero stage mom living vicariously through her daughter:

(Secret Origins 80-Page Giant)

And then when child services had intervened and separated Cissie from her mom for child endangerment… after talking to her guidance counselor (yes the same one who was later shot) she decided to throw herself into being Arrowette on her own specifically to spite her mom:

(Secret Origins 80-Page Giant)

Her guidance counselor’s death and her reaction to it were reality checks about how life isn’t a… a game, actions have consequences, playing Superhero to get back at her mom isn’t a responsible choice.

So it’s sort of all those factors together which lead to her decision:

(Young Justice Vol. 1 #17)

Now, I love this story arc and think it’s very well done and that’s why Cissie being back in hero work is such a complicated subject for me. While the main YJ book had been running she got to live her life as a civilian that still had ties to the team/hung out with them all the time, and really that’s the ideal. But when there isn’t an ongoing YJ book, that’s just not a feasible status quo if you want her to show up.

Cassie’s Wonder Girl mini introduced the idea that after Cissie got some distance from hero work/after YJ as a team had dissolved, that she was willing to come out of retirement on occasion to help out her friends in need:

(Wonder Girl Vol. 1 #3)

and that’s more or less what also happened during YJ 2019:

(Young Justice Vol. 3 #14)

And even DC: YJ despite my gripes with Cissie’s portrayal especially in the first few issues feels relatively consistent with that:

(Dark Crisis: Young Justice #5)

Her being in this ‘mostly retired but because the DC Universe is an insane place, there are occasions where she’ll break out her bow and arrow to help the people she loves’ is what I consider my realistic ideal for the character. Because hoping for a 100% civilian Cissie basically means she’d almost never show up again.

And, considering she’s on the main cover in Arrowette garb for the upcoming Green Arrow mini:

(Cover for Green Arrow Vol. 7 #1)

It definitely looks like she’ll be hero-ing again, and honestly I’m just so happy that we’re maybe finally gonna get a connection between her and the Arrowfam that i’m willing to roll with it—opinions on her retirement be damned

Who is.... Mia Dearden | Speedy? - A Reading Guide

Mia Dearden (Speedy) is the adopted daughter of Oliver Queen (Green Arrow)- she is introduced in the first arc Green Arrow (2001). Mia's backstory is the definition of tragedy, she's a CSA survivor, a runaway, a human trafficking survivor, and as a result of her childhood trauma has been diagnosed as HIV+. Mia is a loudmouth who will backtalk villains, family members, and anyone she encounters. She fought Oliver Queen for the chance to become Speedy, and took up the mantle of Speedy because her life means something to her and what she wants to do with it is help others.

Reading list under the cut!

The following is a list of Mia's appearances barring those in the N52. As always if multiple issues from a run are listed, only the first issue will be linked as the assumption is that you can navigate to the other issues yourself.

post about all my fave little details in sean izaakse's art in Green Arrow Vol. 7 #1

all of them using different bows that fit their styles (ollie has a recurve, connor a longbow, roy a compound)

additionally connor using the 3-under draw as opposed to the more widely used mediterranean draw that roy and ollie use! ROYS BOW EVEN HAS A STABILISER

ollie and roy using the average type of takedown recurve training bows. i used those kinds when i learnt!! dude thats so cool. AND their arrows are bullet point because they're target shooting, unlike the broadheads they use in the field!!

the e on this sign being out. idk its just a cute detail makes the world feel lived in

ollie talking about finding his heart while him and dinah make a heart in their silhouette, also they do be bangin on the league's meeting table. good for them

blink and you'll miss it detailing on connor's quiver!

dinah having a supporting hand on roy's shoulder as she knows they just found exactly what they were looking for.

the WHO IS THE BATMAN graffiti. i think they should come back and write BRUCE WAYNE under it when this is all done.

roy keeping a hand on lian as if he's scared she'll disappear again if he lets go (whoops)

ollie having a hip quiver!!! (yes sean izaakse is now my gold standard for all archery related comic art, yes i know he will never be replicated)
