This is Judd Winick's first try at Green Arrow after taking over for Brad. It stumbles a bit on plot, but interesting character growth helps.

So these creatures begin to pop up in Star City. Conner and Oliver decide to take it upon themselves to fix up the streets. When a group of filthy rich assholes hire an assassin to clean up their mess it crosses paths with Oliver. So have these creatures roaming the streets and the mystery behind that, the assassin coming after Oliver and company, Oliver falling for a new girl while being with Dinah, and yeah, a nice jumbled mess.

Good: Love the ending. It builds to a bitter sweet moment and a lot of characters going to be stuck in new situations. The moments with Oliver and his family, son or daughter-like character, are always good. Realistic family dynamic that makes it interesting. The fights are pretty great and some really brutal moments.

Bad: The main plot feels lost. The whole plot line with the monsters and what they really are is kind of bland. I thought the art could sometimes be a bit messy.

Overall another fun volume but the weakest so far in this run. A 3 out of 5. Maybe 3.5. But I'll settle on 3.
