Green Arrow has become one of the best books on the market. Each of issues feels very episodic with the story moving ever forward at a deliberate pace. With each issue more secrets are revealed and Lemire leaves his mark on the characters. Everything that feels familiar to Green Arrow fans is changed just a tad and it works perfectly. Green Arrow #27 is consistently entertaining. I challenge you not to enjoy the hell out of it! Read Full Review

But as ever, it's really Andrea Sorrentino's artwork that propels this series forward. Sorrentino takes a fairly minimalist approach when it comes to facial work, offering just enough shape and shadow to convey the necessary emotions. It's more about energy and design and action storytelling in this book. Sorrentino's rendition of the battle between Ollie/Shado and the Shield Clan stands as one of the best of this run. There's a fluid sense of motion, and the use of small panels and monochromatic colors to highlight Ollie and Shado's precise movements is inspired. Sorrentino delivers striking image after striking image,and he also ties them all together with a keen eye for sequential narrative. Read Full Review

It is fantastic and then some. "Green Arrow" #27 a near-perfect comic from Lemire and Sorrentino. Read Full Review

The other great thing about Green Arrow #27 is that, while it sometimes skirts the lines of predictability, it ties into both Oliver's past and the greater DCU in a way that's more organic than much of the other books in the publisher's line. (Indeed, one of Ollie's compatriots over in the Justice League of America may make a very opportune appearance, if the idea of the Weapon Clans plays out to its logical conclusion.) This book has been troubled, make no mistake about it, and I'll be the first to say that Lemire and Sorrentino have had their growing pains while they hit their stride. But this issue really hits the potential that Green Arrow has had all along. Read Full Review

That being said, The Outsiders War continues to be amazing in Green Arrow #27. Were only on part two of a six part storyline, and the tension and excitement keeps ratcheting up a notch.
