New series writer Andrew Kreisberg (JLA CLASSIFIED, Simpsons) introduces a new era for Green Arrow and Black Canary! As Connor and Speedy head off on their own and leave the married vigilantes truly alone together for the first time, a new villain gives Ollie cause to reflect on just how much his life has changed!
Not to say that the Kreisberg's story is flawless - there are a few isolated instances of trite banter, particularly in the inciting scenes that provide the framework for Ollie's overarching introspection - but for the most part this book serves as a strong foundation for future endeavors, and at the very least, provides a nice reminder of the qualities that make the relationship between Green Arrow and Black Canary one of the most interesting in the industry.

Norton is not a bad artist, but his work is not memorable either. Its solid and well crafted but without the extra oomph that creates a star artist. I think his greater weakness was having Rubinstein ink his work. While Im glad to see old pros get work, his inking totally overpowers Nortons work. Read Full Review

Never read an issue of Green Arrow? This is the only case I would almost recommend this issue. Otherwise, we can be optimistic about this alleged New Era for Green Arrow next month or we can be realistic and pray for a painless death for this series. Read Full Review
