Some thoughts about Convergence: Green Arrow #1

Green Arrow continues his fight against crime but he still can't face the problems he really should.

Connor Hawke has been both helping others and trying to find the man he believes is his father. However, it won't be the first time that such man tries to escape from his responsibility.

This issue marks the return of both the Mike Grell's era of Green Arrow as well as Connor Hawke who took the mantle in the late 90's. How does it fares?

Pretty well thankfully.

Christy Marx manages to capture Oliver's character perfectly by focusing on precise moments from his history like how he abandoned his son when he was born and how he still doesn't feel ready to act like a father. It's overall a spot-on portrayal and definitely logical.

Connor also remains true to his character due that he's still the same calmed monk who always tries to see the best in people, especially his father. The father and son dynamics are also nicely depicted and present interesting moments of conflict.

This being a Convergence tie-in of course it needs to connect with other realities and in fact, the last page presents more opportunities for characterization and interaction.

Rags Morales is in charge of the art and his work is pretty solid with expressive characters and clear storytelling.

Solid issue definitely, intrigued to see where it's going.
