Green Arrow, they all told me. It's really good, they said. It's the biggest surprise, they added.
"They"... were right!
I tracked down the Rebirth issues, and apparently the focus is on bringing the series in line with the ongoing Arrow TV show - and that's not a bad idea at all.
It's also good to see the supporting cast growing, and longtime fans will be happy to see the Black Canary back as a romantic (ish) figure in GA's life.
On the action side, Oliver's in the fight of his life - he was nearly killed, he's been discredited, his company stolen, his money taken away, his friends are turning on him, there's an international conspiracy, powerful enemies targeting him - what better for a hero than to have his back against the wall?
It's a terrific script by Benjamin Percy and outstanding artwork by Juan Ferreyra, and a strong start to this "reborn" series.
Thanks to everyone who pointed me at this series - heed their wisdom, readers!
Grade: A
