Oliver has come to help the people of Raphastan after Deathstroke caused a war between their tribes but his good intentions might not be welcomed.
Well, this is the beginning of a few little arcs preparing the arrival of the creative team of Julie and Shawna Benson. Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly are in charge of delivering a little different tale that tries to put Oliver in another setting which works solidly enough as it is.
I was initially interested in what these guys could do because I remember digging the conclusion they created in Grayson after Tim Seeley and Tom King left the title and they do offer a pretty interesting premise. The story is based on the events of Deathstroke Annual #2 written by Phil Hester, which also received huge praise from me when it was released, it focuses on the consequences of killing the leaders of that nation which put their people in constant war.
The idea of not Green Arrow, but Oliver Queen instead trying to fix such conflict is quite compelling (although it doesn't make much sense since Ollie and Green Arrow are pretty much the same person, there's no dual identity like with Batman/Bruce Wayne or Superman/Clark Kent) while referencing appropriate moments in his history that depict his personality nicely. The intriguing dilemma of trying to help people who don't want his help is also executed decently and makes me wonder how they're going to solve this in the next issue.
I have a few problems with the dialogue that can feel overwritten at times and lacks a bit of style but at the very least makes the point clear.
Marcio Takara handles the art and is adequate with detailed characters and settings.
Promising overall, hope the next one is even better.
