Who is behind Onomatopoeia's attacks?
The psychotic assassin is coming after Oliver once again and he apparently was successful this time. Now Connor is looking for vengeance and with that he will finally learn the truth.
A bit simple but contained a few surprises at least.
Joshua Williamson offers a one-and-done story that also connects to future plot-points. As the cliffhanger from the last issue teased, this involves the return of the villain Onomatopoeia and as I've said several times before, I'm not much of a fan of him since his demented personality made him seem more like a Batman villain (and his creator, Kevin Smith, thought so as well since he later used him for his Batman stories). That being said, the chapter opens with an interesting enough premise that leads into a solid surprise concerning the antagonists which puts everything in perspective. I also enjoy how Williamson references everything that is currently happening with the other members of the family and why they are currently absent, classic attention to continuity.
On the other hand, I don't necessarily dislike how they handled the villains here but I think they need more overall. Is a shame that Onomatopoeia himself didn't have a proper development despite that I'm not a fan of him but the biggest waste here was Brick since he barely got anything beyond your typical crook wanting revenge and power. So far I'm not really digging how Williamson is handling Green Arrow villains.
Phil Hester handles the art and is really appropriate since he co-created both Onomatopoeia and Brick and his detailed pencils give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000s Green Arrow stories.
Decent overall but I hope the following stories are better.
