I really like this character. I've liked Conner ever since he was introduced to us in the pages of Green Arrow. I'm not thrilled, however, with the artist of this series. But, since Chuck Dixon is turning in such a good story, and we have Connor Hawke and Shado in it, I guess I'll cut him a little slack. Last issue we ended with Connor, Shado and Crowfoot on the roof of the house, surrounded by bow & arrow wielding assassins. But, together, they end up taking out a big chunk of their forces. However, before they do so, they end up killing Kichu-san. He was the Sensei type character that was involved in the contest. But then Mr. Zhao shows up and bring the whole thing to a screeching halt. He tries to say it was all part of the contest, but he has Shado's son as hostage, just in case. He also makes reference that her son is related to Conner. So does that mean that he's Ollie's? And if that's the case, then Ollie probably has siblings running around all over the world. What a dog! Anyways, he's doing all this because he wants Conner to fight the earth-dragon. "A lunar eclipse with Mars and Saturn in ascension. As soon as the moon is fully engulfed in the earth's shadow . . . your target will emerge." And it does. With a vengeance. But all we see . . . is the foot. What has Connor gotten himself in to this time? How are they going to wrap this story up next issue? And if Shado's son is Ollie's, does that mean that Connor was making out with his step-mom?
