Green Arrow, Vol. 9: Road to Jericho by Scott McDaniel, Andy Owens, Judd Winick
4.0

The end for Judd Winick Solo Green Arrow Run (He writes more with Black Canary/Green Arrow Marriage comics) but this is it!

We find out how Green Arrow became good enough to handle slade 1 on 1 in a sword fight. How he was able to outmaneuver the assassin. It was actually pretty great to actually see ollie train. To find his new way of fighting the bad guy. . The next arc is Red Hood and Brick verse Batman and Green Arrow. Last but not least is Green Arrow throwing in his political white flag and proposing to his new wife!

Good: I also enjoyed watching Mia and Conner get closer to their father but also becoming better themselves. The fight between Brick and Batman was funny aswell as entertaining and so was Ollie verse Red Hood. The fights all were pretty cool and much more tactical than previous issues.

Bad: The art was a little iffy. Really hard to tell what the hell was happening half the time. Especially facial expressions. Also the last arc kind of fluttered out.

Overall it wasn't the best volume but a very solid closing. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll round it up.
