    Another wild cameo at the cliffhanger basically ensures that the thrills arent remotely close to an end. This creative team is hitting on all marks for one of DCs best titles. Read Full Review

    It's a lot to digest for longtime DC superfans, but the main story maintains its focus on the Green Arrow family. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William J. Jackson Jun 27, 2023

    It's so refreshing to find the current run in Green Arrow #3 powered by family commitment and good old-fashioned villain-busting. Green Arrow, trying to stick it to the Man as best he knows how. It's the broader powers of Waller and forces beyond, a classic David and Goliath story. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jun 27, 2023

    This book has been bringing some long-forgotten plots, some DC might have even wanted to run away from, back into continuity. Keep an eye on Roy's scenes for a surprising reference. This is easily the best Green Arrow book since Ben Percy's Rebirth run. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Jun 27, 2023

    Izaakse delivers some fantastic visuals throughout the issue. I love the gritty visual elements of Roy and Dinahs investigation and how they complement the bright future Oliver finds himself in. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg Jun 27, 2023

    Green Arrow really hits its stride with issue #3. An emotional turning point for its lead character but also for the reader as we now find ourselves clued in on what is going on with Oliver. A huge jumping off point for a story which appears to be key to DC's future storytelling. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jun 30, 2023

    Green Arrow is regaining some footing in the course of things. Its nice to see that happen, but Williamsons series seems far too connected to Green Arrows earlier exploits to feel like its truly exploring new territory with the character. Throwing the character into a strange relationship with time and space is a nice step in the right direction, but Williamson needs to find something a bit more engaging if the premise is going to live up to its potential.

    The character work is nigh second-to-none in this relatively fun, if insanely plotted, story. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jun 28, 2023

    The enjoyment of Green Arrow #3 will vary on how much knowledge of the Green Arrow Family that you have. The continuity heavy nature of the story does cause some pacing issues. But thanks to solid character arcs for Oliver Queen and Lian Harper along with a cool twist ending there is enough here to be interested in continuing to read more. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu Jun 27, 2023

    Additionally, we don't know necessarily how and why Waller is involved nor do we know how and why Ollie jumps to where he does. There are simply too many moving pieces without specific answers to make Green Arrow #3 a viable story. Whos the antagonist? Well we dont know. What are we trying to stop from happening? Well we dont know. Why exactly are we jumping through time? Well we dont know. Readers, you need direction in a story and we simply dont have it. Three issues in come on. I hate to say it, but if this story doesnt turn around quickly, this Green Arrow rival will be short-lived. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jun 29, 2023

    Green Arrow #3 goes a long way toward explaining why the Arrow family is separated, why/how the random teleportations are happening, and the justification behind it all. Unfortunately, this is a case where the answer is less satisfying than you hoped. Williamson has time to make it make sense, but this issue feels like a step back for the series. Read Full Review

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Jul 10, 2023

    The only thing that works in the issue is a separate interaction between Roy Harper and Peacemaker testing their skills (although the actual competition takes place mostly off-panel). Yeesh. Read Full Review
