Green Arrow and Black Canary is Breaking My Heart

Ok, I know Green Arrow and Black Canary hasn’t been the most popular comic lately, and I understand why, but these last two issues have tugged on my heartstrings like nothing else has lately. I don’t mention most of the comics that I read because there really isn’t much to say. I haven’t mentioned these two issues because nothing I can say would really give justice to the reactions I have to watching Ollie cope with Connor’s brain-death.
As best as I can tell, my reactions stem from my empathy for Ollie’s guilt over not being a good enough father to Conner. My son doesn’t live with me and anyone who knows me knows that I constantly worry that I’m not a big enough part of my son’s life and that no matter what I do, I won’t be a good enough father. I love my son more than life itself, but I think I’ll always worry that I don’t do enough for him to show that love. Maybe all fathers feel that way, I don’t know, but it makes me almost tear up in sympathy for what Ollie is going through right now.
Cut the snickering; I said almost.
And… I don’t know what else I can say, really. I just love these last few issues because they speak to a father’s love for his son, right down to Ollie’s total and complete determination to kill for his son, if that’s what it takes.
