Ratings and reviews

For anyone who is even somewhat interested in getting into this character then this is the perfect place to start. The artwork is fantastic throughout the entire thing and Benjamin Percy does a fantastic job at writing some very fun stories. While the pacing of the story is a bit off at times there is still so much to enjoy in this volume which is why I highly recommend it. But one quick note; there are some political aspects to this that may easily take some people out of this series...just a quick thing I thought one should know before purchasing.

This was the first Green Arrow Comic I have ever read and I really enjoyed it.

Green arrow is back and better than ever
