    Want to know more about the ‘Sidekicks”?, October 23, 2006

    If the answer to that question is ‘yes’, then this book is for you. Though from the front cover art and back cover ‘blurb’, this looks like more of a a “Batman” book, it comes off as more of a “Green Arrow/Arsenal(Speedy)” story. The action does take place on in Batman’s town(Gotham of course!) and his presence is felt through out the story. But Green Arrow is the one who brings everyone together, much to Batman’s chagrin.
    The basic plot:
    While Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Batman are working together on a current case with their former sidekicks,(Arsenal:Speedy, Aqualad:Tempest, and Nightwing:Robin)we learn the back story of each sidekick. It seemed that Arsenal has the most ink, (which was a good thing for me, having never read the classic comics from the 70’s written by Deeny O’Neal and drawn by Neal Adams)But Nightwing and Tempest are not short changed in any way.
    Even if you do know the back stories, this book should be a fun read!

    This is a very good book for comic books fans with extensive or not-so-extensive background knowledge. There are lots of details about character histories, especially the three sidekicks, Nightwing, Arsenal, and Tempest. The story seems to take place in current, or at least recent, comic book continuity, including such details as Aquaman’s mystical hand and Arsenal’s recent gunshot wounds, but being familiar with this comic book continuity isn’t really necessary in order to enjoy the story.

    It’s a good book about the characters as people, first of all, and an enjoyable action story second. I highly recommend it.

    More of a Roy Harper novel then anything else; Grayson dwells on the backstories of the former Speedy, Robin, and Aqualad with uneven results. The emphasis is on Harper, now Arsenal, for most of the novel with an interesting POV to the events of Green Arrows early days and his going off with GL in the classic O’Neil/Adams run. The present day story involves Harper’s relationship with Cherise, thus making him the lynch pin for the whole story. The novel eventually shifts gears to GA and Nightwing, although their present-day investigation is less interesting and feels less important then Batman and Arsenal’s global adventuring. Grayson keeps this part of the story light with a portrayal of Green Arrow that is more carefree (and frankly not as smart) then in most comics. Oddly, but to much comedic effect, allot of homoerotic quips are shot of by Ollie. By the time Aquaman and Tempest make their token appearance in the novel, Grayson has little time but to recap the former Aqualad’s tempestuous history grant Aquaman little more then a scuffle with Deathstroke at novel’s end. The inclusion of the underwater heroes seems tacked on just to pad out the novel and really should have been either left out, or the novel made longer to give equal time. Overall the novel is worth a read for the hardcore Green Arrow fans, but those wanting Batman or Aquaman adventures should look elsewhere
