Ratings and reviews

Green Arrow is my favorite hero, because he relies on his Street smarts and brawling abilities. This is the series that the "Arrow" TV show is based on with a minor exception, he's a blue collar worker. In this series he gave up his fortune because he found out his parents companies were corrupt, so he liquidated them and gave the proceeds to charity. It's dark, gritty and realistic, my favorite run from any comic period.

Highly entertaining. With just enough humor to set it aside to be a stand alone masterpiece.

About the author

Artist Michael Jon Grell quickly made a name for himself in comics by tackling one of its most difficult assignments „ the seemingly infinite universe of the Legion of Super-Heroes. From there, Grell joined Dennis OÍNeil for a well-received Green Lantern and Green Arrow revival and might have become a regular contributor to the Batman office if his creation WARLORD had not taken off to become DCÍs most successful fantasy title ever. Grell (whose other works of note include Jon Sable, Freelance, Starslayer and GREEN ARROW) still writes the occasional Batman tale.
