This book has been fantastic under the guidance of Judd Winick and Scott McDaniel. This one picks up the issue after the 1 year later storyline. Ollie is in some serious pain after his building has just been blown up by Merlyn. Not only does he have 2 arrows through his chest, but he's not sure if Conner or Mia are still alive. He passes out from the pain, and wakes up in an infirmary someplace. After he breaks out, he finds out he's on an island. He also finds out that Conner and Mia are there with them. In fact it was Conner that arranged for their little trip, so they could get out of the city, someplace where no one would find them, and recuperate. After they start to feel better, Ollie and Conner decide that before they head head back, not only should they be 100%, but then some. So Ollie starting contacting masters of disciplines all over the world. They began training all 3 of them in combat skills, planning & preparation skills, and skills to keep the body in tune with their mind and the rest of the world. But, when it came down to it there was really only one teacher that he really wanted, Natas. He was the one who trained Deathstroke. And that's how the issue ends, with Ollie begging to be taught, and Natas agreeing. This book has been at a breakneck pace for the last few issues, and I really like it. Ollie and crew are a good bunch of characters, who haven't been pushed to their potential over the last dozen years or so. But with this set of creators, I think we've just seen the tip of the iceburg.
