    Comic Watch - Tyler Davis Jan 23, 2024

    Green Arrow #8 is a classic example of clever writing serving nothing but a boring plot as a subversion of expectation, while executed with grace, leads the book down a road that is monumentally less compelling than the potential of what was subverted. Read Full Review

    Green Arrow #8 continues this new arc well adding a bit of clever twists and mystery into the title while keeping Ollie grounded. The time-traveling was a bit out of character and had its moments, however, this story feels more up to steam for Ollie. Moreover, the hooks are solid, the transitions are easy to follow, and the premise makes sense for the story moving forward. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jan 23, 2024

    Green Arrow #8 begins the last third of the maxi-series with a formulaic detective noir murder mystery that ends with an intriguing surprise after the mystery is solved. Phil Hester's art is tailor-made for detective noir visuals, and Williamson uses the story to create father/son bonding between Connor and Ollie, but the murder mystery is as formulaic as it gets.
