3.0

Enjoyable but little to disjointed for me.

This volume contains 3 different arcs. First was all about Emi. Second about the island. Third about Canary, Diggle, and Oliver on a moving train filled with people and an assassin trying to kill an important figure.

Emi's story arc was fun at first but kind of a letdown. I love her character, she's badass and awesome fighter. However they didn't do her justice here. Just a lot of backstabbing and silly fights that really added to nothing. This felt like a origin story or a build up story without a good payoff. This was the weakest of the bunch.

The Island arc was good but that's about it. What do you expect? Oliver trying to save diggle. Canary helping out. It's good old fashion fun but feels rushed and just kind of middle ground.

The last arc is the best. Because it's funny, each character (well kind of diggle) gets to shine. And the art is damn amazing. So for sheer fact that it's a easy read, looks great, and made me smile makes it the best story of the bunch.

I believe I liked volume 1 more. This felt kind of disjointed and not as well put together. Still, Green Arrow volume 2 is a fun read regardless. I just expect better is all. A 3/5.
