Some thoughts about Green Arrow #23.1: Count Vertigo


Nothing good can come from a kid being forced to become something greater.

Werner Zytle has been told all his life that he's deserves to be royalty and has been blamed for not being it at the same time. Used as a guinea pig to an experiment to turn him into a metahuman grants him the power to obtain what he always wanted and get vengeance on the ones who ruined his life, no matter who.

This is probably the darkest issue that Jeff Lemire has plotted on this series so far. Count Vertigo is presented as a man who needs to believe that he's better than others to survive which turned him into a monster who will destriy anyone who gets in his way. This issue makes you immediately invested on the character and it worked excellent as both an origin story and an interlude to the next chapter of the main story in Green Arrow.

Andrea Sorrentino handles the art once again and it's amazing how consistent and beautiful his art is. He hasn't delivered a disappointing work yet.

Pick of the week once again. This title is on roll.
