We finally make some more head-way with the plot in this issue. The villains that shot Connor, claimed that they were Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins. But, as Batman proves, Ra's has no knowledge of their existence. So now, with some rather abrasive coaxing from Ollie, they have to try to put together the pieces of what's been happening to them, to see if they can figure out who's behind this whole thing. The person that posed as Ra's, and brought them all together, claimed that they were to be his Shadow League. But, by the end of the issue, we find out that they heard him wrong. He wasn't saying shadow, he was saying Shado. You remember, the Chinese assassin that was in love with Ollie for a while. It seems that Ollie was her actual target, not Connor. But the shooter missed. Now they just have to figure out why . . and find where Connor is being kept at. The pieces are starting to come together, and we're assembling a rather large eclectic group of heroes. I really like Judd Winick's storytelling. I loved his stories in the Outsiders, and the previous Green Arrow series. But, I gotta tell you, I think he's doing an even better job here. But he gets lucky with great artists also. Matthew Clark on the Outsiders, and Scott McDaniel on the last series. Now with Mike Norton on this series, after Cliff Chiang started it out, he's had a nice string of artistic talent to interpret his stories. This issue didn't have a whole lot of action. Some threatening and posing . . but not a lot of action. But that's ok, because this issues purpose was to fill in some of the puzzle pieces. Now we have a clearer picture of what's going on. Judd and Mike, all I can say is " . keep up with whatever it is your doing, because it's fantastic!"
