If you don't already know, Bill Sienkiewicz is doing the finishes on the upcoming Green Arrow portions of Green Arrow/ Black Canary over my layouts. Joe Rubinstein will still be doing the fine, fine inking on the Black Canary parts which will also be penciled by me. But I just wanted to give a sneak peak of how the whole layout/finisher thing worked with a preview of some of the new pages. First my layouts (keep in mind, I tend to be a little overkill with layouts)

and then Bill's energetic and beautiful finishes!

Also, I should mention that I'm on this week's Around Comics podcast (ep. 237). Go listen. Those guys are great.
