muaddiab's Green Arrow #6 - Siege Mentality review

    Avatar image for muaddiab

    Not good at all

    6 issues in and not much has changed since the first really. Ollie is still in the forest, the Queen is running Star City and Queen Industries like a dictator, The White Lantern forest is still doing stuff and is as mysterious as ever. 
     
    To everyone who likes this run, don't be blinded. It's moving at a snail's pace and the metaphors are incredibly lazy. We all link Green Arrow to Robin Hood, but to blatantly remind us of this 'similarity' every issue and then add more connections every second page.... Be more creative please.  
    The end of this issue was basically the same ending point as the first. No need to read issues 2-6 then. 
     
    The character of Galahad has turned up and saved Ollie's life before this and now just seems to hang around. His inner thoughts imply he is The Galahad, knight of the round table with Arthur. Puh-lease. When this turns out to not be the case, it's going to be even more rubbish. Crap Character and possibly a figment of Oliver's mind. Deary me.
    The Queen, an equally crap villain, has ties to GA's passed as well as now owning his company. 
    Nothing is resolved here, EVER!
     
    A first mention of Black Canary here, briefly.  He cheated on her right? And what of his ward, Roy. Never mentioned in the 6 issues or the fact that Green Arrow's KILLED someone........... 
     
    I liked the cover art and when GA stormed Queen industries, but not enough to make this run in any way entertaining.

      Oliver Queen has had enough and takes on The Queen, the current owner of "Queen Industries" and her assassin Nix, but does The Queen know something about Oliver's past that he wasn't aware of?  The Good Although the past couple issues have been so-so, this book gets right back on track with this issue. It takes a bit of a step back from the Robin Hood role Oliver has fallen into the past 6 months and focuses more on Oliver and his past. There's some great action as Oliver busts back into Qu...

      This is my first Review so bear with me.  Summary: Ollie breaks into Queen Industries to have a one-on-one with Rochev (aka "The Queen"). He nearly loses control when he finds out about his father's secret life with her and is just  barely able to fight off her assassin, Nix, before he orders Rochev to pack up and leave his city. She reminds him that he is virtually powerless. He gets distracted when he finds his mother's ring around her neck and demands to know how she got it. She reveals to hi...
