I recently reviewed Green Arrow #4 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Green Arrow #4 is made up of two halves that seemingly have nothing to do with one another besides location and the title character appearing in both. More than that, it’s like two different stories were crammed together with all of the meaningful and interesting parts left out. Context and content? Who needs those! Certainly not this comic where events happen without any reason that’s apparent. It’s a perfect example of the 'Yeah. And. So. What?' comic where that’s the response you have after reading it. Yes, I read Green Arrow #4, but so what? Where was the reason why anyone should?"You can read the rest HERE!

The first half of the story is in context if you've been reading brightest day, as it fleshes out a scene from it (i believe issue 10, but i'm too lazy to look it up right now.) but some notation would've been nice.
That's 'fleshing out' another scene? But this version is barely a fragment...
And another book doesn't qualify as 'context' necessarily.
