This is a great issue. The characters are well written, the action is spectacular and the art is wonderful. I highly recommend reading this issue. Read Full Review

Overall, I cannot wait for the rest of Percy's story and, who knows, maybe a potential shift in artistic tone to something a bit lighter? It is a great time to be a Green Arrow fan with not only this fantastic Rebirth, but also the show returning on the CW (hopefully back to its street level roots form earlier seasons). ComicsVerse and GA fans, be on the lookout for my articleon what I wantin Season 5 of GREEN ARROW in the next few weeks! Read Full Review

This conclusion to the brief interlude following the restoration of Oliver Queen to “life” is a terrific character-based entry that really gives us a flavor of what Percy has in mind for the Green Arrow “universe” as a whole. More than that, by the end of this issue, we can see how a few extra characters from bygone eras of Arrow can be dragged back into the world, and that is incredibly exciting. Read Full Review

Ben Percy ends his Sins of the Mother mini arc with a whole lot of action and while I had fun, it was a bit forced.  Still, it doesn't take itself too seriously and it looks amazing!  This Emiko story has put Green Arrow back up their with my favorites of Rebirth. Read Full Review

Those minor gripes are hardly enough to not recommend the issue. Even when it's not dead-on target, Green Arrow continues to be one of DC's best titles and easier recommendations. Read Full Review

Credit is due to artist Stephen Byrne, because whether or not you enjoy this brief interlude before we rejoin Ollie in issue #8, at least it features some great art. Emi's present day battle in The Arena is the more compelling storyline, and as such Byrne's art pops off these pages. Read Full Review

There's a lot of fun and action packed content to be devoured in this issue. Most importantly, you'll come away respecting and liking Emi more than ever. Read Full Review

If you didn't enjoy the opening Green Arrow arc, this issue is a nice distraction from that with good, clean art. Read Full Review

And whilst Emi herself proves to be the one saving grace ofGreen Arrow #7, the issue's villain is a huge let down. Emerging from out of nowhere, and then revealing himself to be a dragon. And by dragon – we do mean, scales, claws and fire-breathing. It all feels a little too much. It's as if the writers had too many ideas for sub-plots, and crammed them together to create a disorientated story that jumps back and forth a little too much. IT looks like the next issue will circle back around to Oliver again, thankfully. And whilst it's clear that sometimes it's good to break off from the norm,Green Arrow #7 just isn't one of those instances. Read Full Review

While the stories inconsistencies have been problematic the artwork has remained pristine. Every time I get frustrated with the words on the page I take a step back to appreciate gorgeous pages. I am happy to see this story arc end. The downside to that is Bryne will not be on the next book. Otto Schmidt is going to have a lot to live up to after these past few issues. Read Full Review

No Ollie in this one (Only in flashback not current story) but still a good issue.

I have been loving this run so far but for some reason felt like it came to a halt of me feeling that that way about GA due to this issue, it just felt lazy and i am not sure if its due to writing the art did no justice in visually selling me on a few things like how fast clock man (or whatever) gave up, it just felt rushed and the art was ho-hum.

Dull and pointless, this issue more or less cements Green Arrow as one of the worst Rebirth books so far.
