james_desantis 's review for:
Green Arrow, Vol. 3: Emerald Outlaw
by Benjamin Percy
I do find it funny there a whole hate groups on Youtube hating Marvel for talking politics but never raise their voices on DC doing the same thing in Green Arrow (and action comics, batgirl, aquaman, and much more) ANYHOW...
Ollie is the protector of his city. So when he sees a cop use his power the wrong we he brings a stop to that. Soon after the police stations catch wind and it stirs up a lot of talk of "who's right" and "who's wrong" kind of like the society we live in today. Then another Archer comes into the fold and betrayals, twist and turns, and death soon consumes Green Arrow's life once more. This guy just can't catch a break huh?
Good: I love talking social issues. It blows my mind sometimes of the way people view the world but I'm always eager to hear their view even if I disagree. So seeing a full issue highlight a lot of real world problems but not just settle on "well this is wrong" but more of "this is how they view it" and not feel heavy handed is nice. I really love the art here too, it's always so stylish and clean. Also Emi returns, sorry for spoilers, but I love this girl! Also that ending was...wow!
Bad: I didn't love the way they made a certain villain in here. He felt kind of lame compared to how they've done him in the past.
Overall this was super fast paced fun action adventure story with political side of things (which Green Arrow usually is, calm down people) and really just a joy to read. It helps the art is fantastic too. Can't wait for volume 4!
