His touch melts flesh and burns through steel, and now the nightmare creature known as Midas wants Green Arrow dead! What secret from Green Arrow's past fuels Midas's rage, and how does it all tie in to the enigmatic woman known only as Blood Rose? Secrets are revealed as Ollie Queen's past comes back to kill him!
The way in which he ultimately defeats Midas exhibits intellect from the writers and attitude from Green Arrow. Nevertheless, the Emerald Archer ends up right where he started from at the end of the story. He has absolutely no idea who Blood Rose happens to be, and that goes double for Midas. I look forward to the answers. Read Full Review
While Dan Jurgens providing layouts (with Ray McCarthy handling finishes) is a small benefit for this issue, overall the art – somewhat stilted in places in its own way – isn't much of a saving grace for this book.

I continue to enjoy the art in this comic but Green Arrow hasn't been anything more than continuous showdowns between hero and villain.
