Green Arrow, Vol. 3: The Archer's Quest
by Brad Meltzer
I don't think I read one thing I disliked from Brad Meltzer. He's a pretty awesome comic writer. So sad he doesn't have a huge amount of written products but this was another highlight for me.
So Oliver is back in the living world. Roy comes to visit his father figure and they decide to go on an adventure. At first the story is very mysterious but as it goes on you begin to gather what Oliver is after. Him collecting objects of his past and him kinda going down memory lane. If Kevin did the job of bringing Ollie back and giving him a fresh look and feel, Brad wanted to give a goodbye to the past, with some hints to the future.
Good: Everything with Roy and Oliver was great. Their dialog was playful but meaningful. The moments with his son really hit home. Oliver is a interesting person and not so easy to pinpoint who he is in terms of his views. Loved his moment with Black Canary at the end too. Really any human interactions were great.
Bad: The moments with Grody felt forced in. Like "We have to have a fight so...FIGHT!" there was almost no other action moments and that's because the rest was far more compelling.
Overall Green Arrow volume 3 is damn good, just as good as volume 1-2. I'm really excited to read the rest of this series now that I have in. It's no wonder Green Arrow is alot of people's favorite hero, he's slowly climbing up to my top 5 DC heroes.
