Comic Watch - Tyler Davis
Jan 23, 2024Green Arrow #8 is a classic example of clever writing serving nothing but a boring plot as a subversion of expectation, while executed with grace, leads the book down a road that is monumentally less compelling than the potential of what was subverted. Read Full Review

Jan 24, 2024The twist certainly will mark a drastic shift in how the story will play out and ensuring that Williamson's run won't be veering into predictable territory anytime soon. Read Full Review

Jan 23, 2024Green Arrow #8 continues this new arc well adding a bit of clever twists and mystery into the title while keeping Ollie grounded. The time-traveling was a bit out of character and had its moments, however, this story feels more up to steam for Ollie. Moreover, the hooks are solid, the transitions are easy to follow, and the premise makes sense for the story moving forward. Read Full Review

Jan 23, 2024Hester has some dynamic art in the issue but the tone of the story needed something more visually interesting. Many of the panels felt flat. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Jan 23, 2024Green Arrow #8 begins the last third of the maxi-series with a formulaic detective noir murder mystery that ends with an intriguing surprise after the mystery is solved. Phil Hester's art is tailor-made for detective noir visuals, and Williamson uses the story to create father/son bonding between Connor and Ollie, but the murder mystery is as formulaic as it gets.

Great to have Hester on art here going back to the well of him and Smith's classic run with their Onomatopoeia story. This book's just a fun solid read each week and I really hope Williamson sticks the landing with this and his Superman stories.

A pretty fun issue here that feels like a one-shot story while also being connected to the larger ongoing plot with Roy. Hester's art here reminds me of the Batman: Brave and the Bold cartoon in certain spots, so I think that's why it worked pretty well for me, personally.

this is straight up one of the best comic book series right now. Not a fan of the art, but I love the story and the characters.

Good solid fun with Omonomatopoeia... sort of? I like the action and use of an interesting villain. The twist was expected but done decent enough. Good art and some solid father son bonding. It is clear that the next few issues will be getting the gang back together for real and then Green Arrow will be set up for Dawn of DC.

Not quite as solid or fun as the previous issue's homecoming story,, but having a Kevin Smith villain back combined with Phil Hester artwork still makes for a fun retro romp and a nifty little mystery, even though it seemed pretty clear early on that no one actually died. The issue does have a nice little twist on the final page and a new mystery for Ollie and Connor to solve.

At least we got away from the multiverse crap in this issue, though it does ruin the character of the Ominompia. He gets taken down really easily and now they know who he is since Ollie was wearing the mask. It was a better issue than the last few, but it still has a long way before it's good.

The bait and switch here kinda left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Let's get away from the Ollie being dead thing, please.
