How can people without superpowers handle this threat?
The citizens and heroes in Star City have turned into powerful animals and is up to Green Arrow and his family to stop them. However, each one of them will have to face their own personal problems first.
Yeah, I didn't want to deal with the Beast World event since I didn't care for anything that Tom Taylor has been doing in Titans (or recently overall) but this being a Green Arrow focused issue picked my interest and it was okay for the most part I guess.
Joshua Williamson opens this story appropriately and mostly focusing on the dynamic between Ollie and Connor which is a nice transition between what happened in this week's Green Arrow issue. I do like how Williamson addresses that it was all Ollie's fault that he abandoned Connor and doesn't try to put any spin about it which is as accurate as you can get and can create a decent development from it. The plot itself is pretty by the numbers even if you haven't been following the event. Jamal Campbell handles the art and is both vibrant and creative.
Ryan Parrot follows with a story about Black Canary and Red Canary and is cool to see this since we haven't seen much between the two. Dinah acts as competent and responsible as you would expect and so the story is mostly dedicated to how the new heroine deals with her job an as a whole this is a decent portrayal of a young sidekick. Roger Cruz' semi-cartoony style is very expressive.
I'm glad that Robert Venditti is back at writing DC characters but this is not really a story about the Green Arrow family despite that Red Arrow is in it. In fact, this is mostly about Stargirl and Huntress which makes me suspect that Venditti wants to write more about the Justice Society of America. Is a fine tale but I wish there was more focus on Emiko. Gavin Guery's clean style gets the job done at telling the story.
Brand&Stein follow what Williamson started this time from Connor's perspective and here we have a problem since we automatically have a more emotional Connor and the point of the character is that he's everything that Ollie isn't so having him as emotional as his father instead of the calm and collected monk he's meant to be just feels off. The story is just as uninteresting. Frank Cvetkovic's fluid and expressive artwork would be fine if it wasn't focusing on Connor which makes the portrayal here even worse.
Not a bad tie-in but most of the stories are not required.
