Green Arrow hasn't let up since Percy came on board and Schmidt continues to impress. This is a title everyone should be reading for a reason and this was another example of its quality storytelling. Read Full Review

Green Arrow #16 keeps you on your toes with unconventional plotting and a thriller fast pace. A lot happens in this issue which makes its value quite high. Read Full Review

The ending of the issue sets up a pretty big cliffhanger – although Ollie getting framed every other issue is starting to get a little tiresome. It's obviously leading up to another confrontation with The Dark Archer at some point. Our favourite part of Green Arrow #16 is undoubtedly the art of the story. It helps the characters jump across the pages and the conflicts between the Vice Squad and Team Arrow. Otto Schmidt is absolutely on form with his talents across this series. Oliver Queen, Black Canary and even the villains themselves have never looked so impressive. Read Full Review

This is a very personal and very good issue of Green Arrow.  Emiko is back, but the action puts that in the backseat for now and the issue ends with a dark future on the horizon.  The story was dark, but Otto Schmidt's art was anything but.  His pencils and colors shine through here and I can easily recommend this issue.

Green Arrow #16 connects with some real world relations, hits with a big reveal, and warms the heart with the importance of valuing those you consider family. ‘The Emerald Outlaw' is shaping up to be the full package so far in this series. Some jaws might drop by the very end of the issue, but that is how they get us with the idea that there are no consequences for this fight of Seattle's soul. Read Full Review

Even if Green Arrow #16 lacks a big super-villain threat (Merlyn only appears late in a cameo), the issue works well focusing on Ollie's reunion with Emi and earning a big win for himself and his city. Merlyn's sudden reappearance, and the death of Westberg (which is a deep personal blow to Green Arrow after finally finding a true ally on the police force he could trust), lead into the “Emerald Outlaw” conclusion in the next issue. Worth a look. Read Full Review

That said, this is still an otherwise enjoyable issue, buoyed by Schmidts kinetic artwork and always pushing things forwards at a brisk pace. Another minor stumble in what has been a fairly solid series to this point then, although Im confident that the conclusion of this arc and the fallout from the events of the closing pages should make for a truly fun read.

I'm really enjoying this series but at the same time I'm not. A lot of things keep being brought into the mix only to come and go faster than you can turn to the next page. The Vice Squad for example, I see the point behind what happened, but I feel like you almost forget what's really going on in the grand scheme of things. It may just be a story that's better for TPB. The art was decent. Same as before though, I think there could be a little bit more attention to detail. Read Full Review

Green arrow is one of the best series of dc now.I think he should be in justice league serie.

Percy continues to impress with each Green Arrow issue he writes! I'm glad he's gotten away from the whole monster looking creatures and focused more on human enemies and political issues. Glad to have Emi (I mean Red Arrow oops) back, Black Canary does take the back seat in this issue but doesn't hurt the story at all. Overall great issue and can't wait to see what happens in #17.

The Emerald Outlaw story arc has been consistent so far, but I feel like very little has actually happened in terms of the story. It feels like whenever a problem occurs it is solved within the next few issues, which creates this sense of stagnancy. Overall, it is still enjoyable.
