Green Arrow #68 - DC



Another fantastic issue by Judd Winnick and Scott McDaniel. They have really taken this book by storm. This is one of my must read books every month now. The action is fantastic. The pace of the story is incredible. And the artwork and the flow, is smooth as butter. This wraps up the storyline where Ollie has gone to the island to relearn his skills. His final teacher was Natas, who also instructed Deathstroke. And his final test was Natas bringing the best hired assassins from all over the world to attack and try to kill him. But, the real test was how Ollie would handle it. Would he unleash all his new talent and cross the line to win the battle? Or would he somehow find a way to win, while staying true to his beliefs, his nature, and his principles? Actually . . . . . yes he would. First he traps all his teachers, and Conner and Mia in a cave. Then he takes on the whole lot on his own. It isn't until he face to face with the final combatant, the deadliest one, that they free themselves and come to his aid. Now he's heading home. Back to Star City to run for Mayor. But Connor and Mia have decided to stay behind, mostly to shelter Mia from the media attention that would be showered on her as an associate of Ollie's. Great book. I recommend this to everyone.
