PARALLAX RETURNS! Years ago, Oliver Queen died and was resurrected by his good ol' buddy Hal Jordan. But it wasn't really Hal, it was Parallax. And did no one think that would come with a cost?! Now Parallax has returned to collect! Meanwhile, Arsenal and Black Canary's search for Oliver Queen leads them to a long-lost Green Arrow family member...who isn't so happy to be found!
One of the best comic book runs of the year finally returns and hits the ground running with even more reverence for Oliver Queen's history than ever. Read Full Review
Paired with the story, you get something that feels like a throwback for long-time readers and fans of Green Arrow while also being new enough for those who haven't had a chance to truly take in this character. It's just so very, very, very good. Read Full Review
Green Arrow has been a solid read for DC since this run got started. It seems like Williamson is about to reveal some significant plot points next issue based on the cliffhanger, which should make for another exciting installment. Read Full Review
I do think this series has such a high level of ambition that it can be hard to juggle all the characters and timelines, but I think Williamson handles the task as well as he possibly can. It helps that he's one of the few writers in a long time to really capture Ollie's unique chaotic energy, as well as the fact that he's using so many great deep cuts from DC continuity. This title is really one that needed the expansion to twelve issuesand it deserves it too. Read Full Review
Green Arrow #4 continues to prove why this title is one of DC's big winners, especially in this Dawn of DC era that's absolutely soaked in an embarrassing wealth of amazing comics. Read Full Review
Izaakse delivers great action throughout the issue. The imagery is beautifully detailed and I love the final page of the issue. Read Full Review
It's take a little while for Green Arrow to win me over. Its high-concept setting is unique for a character who normally exists to fight street level crime unless he's with the Justice League. But Williams' capable storytelling and its robust emotional foundations continue to drive home what is one of DC's most compelling solo series. Read Full Review
Green Arrow #4 felt like it had so much potential with the reintroduction of Parallax as well as the time travel component of the story. However, the easy tropes almost handcuffed the issue and took away from what could have been a pretty epic installment. Read Full Review
The deeper we are getting with this intro Multiverse arc for Green Arrow the more the ambition is showing to be to great for the story to handle. There are a lot of cool elements, such as the Legion of Super Heroes and Parallax usage, but the story is just not hitting with Oliver Queen at the center. Hopefully the way Green Arrow #4 ended will be a sign this story will finally start having positive progress forward rather than going in circles. Read Full Review
Green Arrow #4 gives readers excellent art (except for the costume redesigns), cool character moments, and a cathartic fight. That said, the plot centers around a mystery with no clues and no believability, so the entire journey is just plain boring. Read Full Review
Great issue
Hey here is our great friend Parallax coming back to hang out with Green Arrow... wait a second....
Yeah this is a great call back, and much needed return after the terrible knight terror event. Great interactions between GA and Parallax GL. Just take a read and watch them... 'bond/talk'.
A good read. I particularly enjoyed the stuff with Ollie and Parallax. I wasn’t incredibly into the sections with Roy and Dinah, though, but they weren’t bad or anything.
I like a lot about this issue, namely the fist fight and Paralax outing himself. The mystery of the future is interesting, but Green Arrow is a street-level character, but here he is a time-dimensional-space traveler and it just doesn't fit his character. Let's get back to basics with him. I'm hoping this arc wraps up soon.
