matkrenz's Green Arrow #4 - Strangers in the Night review

    Avatar image for matkrenz

    I was bored for half of this issue.

    This is the 4th issue of the Green Arrow series. 
     
    The Story:So basically half of this issue is the same as Brightest Day #9 so if you want the story go see my review of that issue.But after that we see Ollie helping the girl (named Mary) that he saved in issue 1 to get away from a riot she and Ollie started.After a scene with the Queen were she says that Mary has to be dealt with we see Ollie witht the reporter from issue 1 and 3 talking about the murder from the revious issue.After a while he runs off and remembers what Mary said in issue 1 wich was she wanted to do her part in helping the city,wich makes Ollie thinks she was  killing the people she tought deserved it.After getting in her appartement he jumps trough the windowto save her from the real murderer. 
     
    The Good:The fight scene in the middle of this issue was well done and well drawn by Diogenes Neves and hopeflly the killer is going to become a consistent rogue for Ollie. 
     
    The Bad:As i said this issue is basically a re-hash of issue 9 of Brightest Day and i have to wonder why would J.T. Krul do this.Hopefully he wanted to do something else but this was editotrially mandated so i can understand.Also the Robin Hood references are way to on the tacked on and it's getting kinda annoying. 
     
    The Verdict:This issue was mediocre since it was half of another comic book but we still get some progress wich shows J.T. Kruls talent in writing.This issue is a buy if you are already buying this series but if you aren't start from the beginning and this issues problems wont be so big.

Ollie doesn't know who it is but he knows it's attracted to the white lantern symbol. As the monster grapples the tree his face becomes more clear. Ollie then recognizes it's J'onn. Ollie tries everything to pull him off. His final move is using one of his forest traps that knocks J'onn back to normal. J'onn and Ollie make their way out of the...

      What is more important a sense of duty or a sense of faith? 0

      Cover The cover art I think is amazing. It really grabs your attention. Story Green Arrow is fighting a big green monster. The monster attaches himself with the tree with the white lantern symbol. Ollie figures out it is Martian Manhunter and he grows back to normal size after Ollie gives a big nasty hit to John in the head. They get out of the forest and John leaves. Galahad asks the Green Arrow if he is coming back in the forest and he says no he has something stronger than a sense of faith an...
