This is the final chapter of the story where Ollie learned all those new fighting skills. We finally get to see the interaction between him and Natas. He's the guy who trained Deathstroke. To begin with, this guy kicks the crap out of Ollie. He keeps getting beat up and Conner and Maya patch him up. Then when he has his strength back, he goes out, gets beat up again, and they patch him up again. This cycle is repeated over and over. But this Natas didn't waste any time. While he was recupperating, Natas would be by his side filling his head with more information. Now while all this is going on, Conner and Maya were still training with all the other Sensei's and assassins. But only Ollie was training with the master. When he started anticipating his moves, the training stops and the attacks begin. It's like an Extreme Games form of tag. They hide from each other for days, and then spring out and attack when the other least expects it. Next they do tracking. Then, Ollie learns about the wall in Star City. He starts to formulate a plan. One part is having Tuckman start running his campaign for Mayor. The other is to pick Natas mind on how to obtain more money. Because what he has is mind, is going to require a lot. Basically he creates a boondoggle with the stock market, specifically with corporations with defense contracts, and gains billions of dollars. Natas final lesson? He's sent an army to try to kill them. Man this book is awesome. Ever since Judd Winick and Scott McDaniel got together on this book, it's been going at a breakneck speed. I honestly think this is my favorite adaptation of the green guy. Ever! Oh, and by the way, on "Smallville" they're doing their own interpretation of Ollie. And, it's pretty good also. Do I hear "Green Arrow Corps"?? Ha-Ha!
