matkrenz's Green Arrow #3 - Character Assassination review

    Avatar image for matkrenz

    All we need now is a druid and a dwarf.

    Third issue of the Green Arrow ongoing. 
     
    The Story :We start this issue with that ranger from the previous issue saving Ollie from a pack wild dogs.The ranger puts Ollie in water in hopes to heal him,then Ollie has a flashback to important and more recent memories.The biggest memorie is that of him and his mothergo visits his father and Ollie's mom see's lipstick on a cup and imagine's (Ollie's dad) is cheating on her and tells Ollie to always be a good man.While at the mean time Ollie is fighting a shadow  archer but becomes conscious again.We learn that the ranger is actually the knight Galahad,like the one from the Arthur and the Round Table legends.It seems he was in a hospital so that the doctors could cure him from his dellusions.But after the disaster from Cry for Justice he escaped the hospital and saved as many people as he could and when he drank the water from the forest he remembers who he was.In the mean time we see the woman from the first issue giving out medication to people and it seems that the city had a contract to give vouchers to people that needed insulin and heart medication but it seemed that the contract was bought by Queen Industries and they have done nothing with it.Also the city  is planning on building a new hotel that would be the biggest building in Star City but then the announcer of this project is shot by a woman with her mini-recorder.We also learn that the Queen used to work in a diamond mine in her village in Siberia but one day when Robert came to visit the mine and after one sentence she saw it as a challenge to him that she is more than somebody's pet.Back in the forest it seemed it decided to be really weird since it basically changed the season's in a matter of seconds.Also it seems that the thing that might have shot the arrow at Ollie is his

    The Good :We learn more of our ranger that is actually a knight and i really wonder hor Krul will work him as Ollie's first Merry Men.Also the Queens backstory is pretty good,showing she gained everything by dedicating herselfto the fullest.The mysterie's surrounding the forest are increasing and i really hope something really interesting comes out of it and the art is still great. 
     
    The Bad :I find it a bit weird that the arrow to the head didn't kill Ollie immideatly. 
     
    The Verdict :This issue was simply great,it gave us a couple of answers and yet gives us new mysterie's about the forest that should keep anybodyreading for a while.And it seems that the next issue were going to have a J'onn appearence and on the cover for Brightest Day # 11 will also be about the forest,so i can't for what for what will happen next.This is a definite buy.

      Since the event that is known as Brightest Day has taken effect, certain characters, events, and even places have been rejuvenated thanks to this massive collaboration of writers and artists. This new volume of Green Arrow is definitely one of its positive contributions from Brightest Day. Now, with a cover of the Emerald Archer possibly seeing his last days as a man alive, will this mark his end? Grab your quivers, and join me as I review Green Arrow #3.  The Good Ever since J.T. Krul has ...

      Magic + Arrows= A Good Issue 0

      Summary:   Just as we thought Green Arrow was dead, Galahad the Knight rescues Ollie from an attack and heals him within the forest waters. But, still doesn't answers who shot him. Meanwhile outside in the city, corruption is effecting everyone and it's all tied Isabel's reign over Queen Industries.   The Good:   It seems every time we take a look into this forest something pops up. First it magically appears, next it cancels out technology and power rings. Now it seems this issue comes with 3 f...
