Green Arrow, Vol. 2: Island of Scars by Benjamin Percy

4.0

Oliver survives volume one and washes up on a seemingly deserted island. He quickly discovers that he's not alone, as old allies and new enemies quickly make their presence known. In my opinion, this storyline felt more cohesive than The Death and Life of Oliver Queen. The writers and artists really seemed to hit their stride with this volume. As always, I was stoked to see my girl Dinah Lance kicking butt. I think that's one of the things about Dinah and Ollie that appeals to me. It turns the usual "highly-skilled fighter dude with a scrappy girlfriend" dynamic on its head. While Ollie isn't without skills, Dinah is by far the better fighter of the two (he has admitted this himself). And Ollie isn't threatened by this. In fact, he enjoys it. So yeah. It was nice to see this dynamic going strong. I also liked Emi's arc. I felt that was really well done, but I don't want to give too much away there.
