Nightmare of Solomon reviewed Green Arrow #14 Jan 7, 2017
For all the decent things this issue accomplish -- they get tarnished by a really bad action scene in the climax, where Ollie somehow has to run faster than an arrow so he can jump in front of it and take a hit meant for a high-ranking police officer.
I know Ollie is athletic, and I know this is a comic, but even then it broke my suspension of disbelief.

Thank you! That whole scene ruined it for me. Only Flash could have done such a thing, not a "normal" human. The arrow was already on its way, yet somehow he outraced it and got in front of it. Give me a break. The writer blew it.
