Arsenal and Black Canary versus Peacemaker and the new Peacewrecker! While Arsenal and Black Canary's quest for answers has sent them into danger, Green Arrow is lost in time and space--but at least he's not alone now. Two members of the Green Arrow family join Oliver Queen in the last place you'd expect!
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
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
A spectacular plot twist that completely threw my expectations for a loop in the best way possible. Read Full Review
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
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
DC's latest chapter of "Green Arrow #3 starts answering questions about the mysterious status quo of Oliver Queen! Read Full Review
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
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
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
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
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
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
This series continues to be interesting with what was originally supposed to be the halfway point of this run. I wasn't sure what to think with Peacemaker and Peacewrecker getting involved, but they were fine. They didn't add a whole lot to the story, but they also didn't really take anything away from it either. Roy and Dinah's investigation as to where Oliver went has promise, but I would like things to pick up a little bit with them soon. As for Oliver himself, his story interests me the most here. I'm looking forward to learning more about why the Oliver from the future felt he needed to separate the family, as well as present Oliver trying to avoid/correct future Oliver's outcome with his family.
Honestly wasnt my favourite issue but still pretty good. Kind of convoluted at times but I get the point, this was putting things in place to get the ball moving again/the next act of the arc. So for what it was meant to do, it did it well. Great art as always.
damn this is pretty good. Engaging story and pacing. If Joshua Williamson keeps this up, he will join the ranks of Jeff Lemire and Ben Percy as the definitive Green Arrow runs
I love the stuff with Arsenal and Black Canary vs. Peacemaker and lady Peacemaker. I'm still not sold on the whole multi-versal stuff regarding Ollie. I'm not sure it works for a street-level hero. I'm also not sold on the plot, that they can't be together because he does something bad. The Parallax reveal at the end was interesting.
