Ollie is still suffering the effects of his last encounter with the leader of Vlatava but despite of his suffering he will not only have to face him but also an incredibly threatening Richard Dragon whose plan is take over the gangs of Seattle while also defeating Ollie's allies, Shado being the first one to fall.
Best issue yet. Yes, I know but it's Lemire/Sorrentino's Green Arrow, what more do you expect?. I'm not talking only about the quality of the story but about the amount of content that Jeff Lemire introduces here, we had the main story of Count Vertigo destroying Seattle along with the battle between Richard Dragon and Shado with the promise of more Outsiders development coming as well as classic character dynamics and relationship building. That makes a really compelling and dense read.
This is the kind of storytelling that I heard other writers like Ales Kot wanted to use on Suicide Squad but never quite pulled off, doing one-and-done issues or two issues arcs and making everything work by itself and connect to the overarching plot. This story works perfect as a stand-alone and prepares us for the upcoming storyline, is fantastic.
I need to mention that I adore Lemire' interpretations of classic characters. Richard Dragon is an amazingly skilled fighter and his techniques are depicted perfectly, Billy Tockman has his classic clock obsession and also a mysterious new character which Arrow fans may recognize.
Andrea Sorrentino is frankly wonderful, everything looks beautiful but the way he depicts action scenes is brilliant, especially the fight between Richard Dragon and Shado, you really need to check it by yourself.
Favorite book of the week once again, I can't be disappointed with this series.
