An above average reboot story, if you already have some idea of who all the players are. Sure, there are cliches here. The bad guys are pretty bad and they also know they're bad. It's a comic book. The art is well done and I like the Seattle setting for GA. ( )

There's some nice character beats here that reminded me of Tynion's work on Detective Comics a bit, but there's still a lot that gives me pause. The art is kind of all over the place (check out the one auctioneer guy who's like a human stick bug - I'm still unsure if that was intentional), and the tone is too (sometimes it wants to be very socially serious - which is fine! - but other times it wants to be very James Bond, which is a tough merger they don't quite pull off). And also, Does everything have to go back to the friggin island? I think this is one place I could do without the influence of the show.

Overall, I have quibbles, but it's still alright in my book. ( )

Loooooved this!

I didn't go into this expecting it to be like the show, but finally getting into the DC shows a couple of months ago convinced me to get over my I'll-need-to-read-everythiiiing attitude about comics and just start reading them. I mostly started by reading some classics and stuff for Rebirth background (Killing Joke, Batman Year One, Flashpoint, etc.), but I've had this on my shelf for like a month and I couldn't wait anymore.

I really enjoyed the two art styles: kind of sketchy with watercolors, and smoothly painted. The issues went back and forth between the two, and, despite being pretty different, they both suited the characters and the story.

It was also nice to see a beginning for one of the DC power couples. Dinah and Ollie play off of each other well. He maintains his strong sense of justice even when it seems like everyone he knows is against him, and she keeps him grounded with the occasional reality check.

The plot was interesting and fast-paced, but not rushed. We've got a slave trade, some Dante's Inferno, romance, family drama, computer hacking, espionage...all the goodies.

Definitely a recommended read, even if you might not be a big fan of Green Arrow. I typically lean toward vigilantes, so it was right up my alley. ( )

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review.

This was actually quite a fun book. I've always viewed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow as a Bruce Wayne/Batman knockoff, you know, the rich playboy socialite by day, mercenary by night.

This story kind of knocks that concept on its head, and Benjamin Percy actually turns in a pretty good story. The artwork is pretty good, too.

I'll keep reading this one, I think. ( )

I’ve never read Green Arrow before, and I don’t watch the CW show. I love The Flash, but found Arrow too gloomy (and too close to a Batman clone). When I saw this Green Arrow Rebirth, I decided to take a shot because I’ve liked the character in the animated films.

The storyline is pretty dark, with homeless people disappearing in Seattle, but GA is more self-deprecating and earnest. In fact, he’s just like he is in the animated films. Superficially, he’s similar to Batman. Rich, uses lots of gadgets, vigilante. However, he’s not well respected by the rest of the League and this is reflected in his attitude. Since this is rebirth, readers get his backstory retold (albeit at a quicker pace) during his current adventure. This worked great. What didn’t work as much was a lot of internal dialog at the beginning. Large text-filled boxes can interrupt the flow. Nevertheless, I like the chemistry the writer has given GA with Black Canary, and the story was excellent. At one point, GA bluntly tells BC that gadgets and equipment cost money. Being a hero without powers costs money. It was nice to see that faced head on. I also liked the art - it served the writing well.

Overall, I enjoyed this enough to pick up volume two – especially since it ends on a cliffhanger. I’m doing to check out some of the other Rebirth titles, also. Highly recommended to Arrow fans. ( )
