Green Arrow has been thrown from a skyscraper and is tumbling toward the pavement at terminal velocity. His would-be killer: an enigmatic teenage girl with connections to a secretive Gotham family—and a connection to Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary’s past. Will Gotham’s new Dynamic Trio be able to track down this strange, homicidal girl known only as Arabella? Will they be able to unravel the mystery of her past’s connection to their own? And, more urgently, how on earth will Green Arrow survive a 70-story fall?! The answers lie in this can’t-miss issue!

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
This is the most fast-paced issue of the series yet, with little time to catch your breath and a very intriguing mystery, but it also does an excellent job of setting up a fascinating mystery about the heroes’ early days. After the first year of Tom Taylor’s run had a huge, globe-trotting scale, this arc dials things back with a fascinating focus on the characters. Read Full Review

I skipped part 1 and 2, but had to check out part 3 because Mikel Janin is back on art - and, boy, this is probably the best issue I've read in this run yet! The art is fantastic, the story feels engaged and the action is just breathtaking. I just hope the solution of the mystery isn't what I think it is.
