Following a much-acclaimed revision of this classic series by director-turned-comics writer Kevin Smith (Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), Green Arrow continues to hit its mark with the current creative team of Winick, Hester and Parks! Star City has been cut off from the modern world and imprisoned within a magical dome. Inside it's a medieval hell where even the smallest crime results in an immediate and bloody death. Green Arrow must find the source of this mystical problem and then somehow deal with it. The risks are but what choice has he? Green Arrow is undergoing a massive rise in popularity, and with this latest addition to his quiver it's not hard to see why! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bottom of the BarrelApart from the somewhat ammusing story where Oliver Queen's son join for a night on the town (a story in which Winick does showcase his gift for non-action stories involving social interaction between two male characters), this whole thing is rather mindless with Winick ripping off both Kevin Smith (the dome over the city created by a demon-summoning rich man = the dome over the Drover Brownstone created by a demon-summoning rich man) and himself (the demons here = the monsters in Straight Shooter). ... Read More Rating:  - Graphic SF ReaderThe first part is amusing, with Conner and Roy going out drinking, or not drinking, as the case may be, to the sort of places you would expect. The major part details a large mystical problem must face, brought about by one of the city's own residents. Green Arrow and all the soldiers he can muster, whether cops, crooks or others must fight a battle to try and win back control versus a large number of otherworldly monsters. Is Mia ready for such a confrontation? She thinks ... Read More Rating: - A Broken ArrowDefinitely not the best Green Arrow trade out there. Winick is a competent writer, but he has yet to hit it out of the ballpark. Of course, if you don't read a lot, you'll think he's the bee's knees, but he doesn't do much that's new. This story has a villain that isn't exactly GA's standard rogue (he's Batman's guy), which makes the story interesting, but he's barely used. Talk about a wasted opportunity. Pick up Kevin Smith's stuff or "The Longbow Hunters," as this is for ... Read More Rating: - The lost of innocenceIn this book we saw what when man's dream became the night mare for the rest of Star City and a babtism of fire for spoiler. It was very well done but left you with the feeling you wanted to pick up the next trade as soon as you were done reading this one. Rating: - City WallsThis collects Green Arrow issues 34-39 and picks up where Straight Shooter left off. It starts with a fun stand alone story about Conner & Roy having a guys night out. The 6 part City Walls storyline is some of Judd Winick's best superhero work. It features a nice take on the Riddler, a bit of social commentary, and an exciting full scale battle reminiscent of the Lord of The Rings films.
