Green Arrow, Vol. 1: The Death and Life of Oliver Queen by Benjamin Percy
2.0
2.5/3
The pacing of this book was so weird literally two issues in and Oliver has already lost his fortune the “twist” villain is revealed and something that should’ve taken at least 1 vol to properly set up so you have a satisfying pay off is rushed which leaves you with a story with a lot of stakes you don’t care about.
Not sure if I’m going to continue it but I’m still really interest in this character along with black canary, another thing is that I don’t think they did enough to disprove all the people that say he’s a Batman knock off since he kind of was.
Also this was kind of a weird introduction to the character since theres a lot of lore that comes to play but you get the bare minimum explanation so you don’t really know if the things that happened before are canon or not which will maybe be a problem with the whole rebirth line we’ll see
