Ollie has been thought dead for years but somehow he has returned to save his mother from the black out that is affecting Gotham City where he will find a new adversary, a new ally and he will have his fateful first encounter with Batman.
This issue was pretty good but I don't think it was as good as some of the previous ones. This story serves almost as an origin story for Green Arrow, except that it's not really an origin story as much as is a set-up for future ones, in fact the only image from the island came into the last page from the main plot which promises that it will be told into the next issue, it was a bit disappointing in that front.
Still, it works at reintroducing a villain like Killer Moth and making him a GA rogue while also introducing fan-favorite characters from the Arrow TV show like Moira Queen and Diggle and making them fit into the series. Not to mention that the encounter between Green Arrow and Batman was entertaining although I think it could have been deeper.
Andrea Sorrentino's art is gorgeous as usual, you just have to love the way he draws bearded Ollie and Batman.
The backup story is also written by Lemire but this time it focus on Diggle, it's an interesting tale about his character but once again is mostly a set-up. Denys Cowan handles the art here and is appropiately dark and detailed.
I know that I said that this issue was not as good as the previous ones but it's still my favorite pick of the week. Funny how even when this book doesn't meet with my expectatives is still better than all the others.
