Green Arrow #10
Writer: Bejamin Percy
Artist: Juan Ferreyra
For me Green Arrow is probably one of the most underrated Rebirth titles. Many talk about how great Flash, Batman, Superman and others, are really good, and they are, don’t get me wrong, however Green Arrow is really an unsung hero. After a really great first arc and two pretty good mini-arcs, Benjamin Percy shows that he isn’t taking a break anytime soon.
After the fallout from last issue, Team Green Arrow are trying to get back to Seattle and are just riding on the train built by Oliver’s father. As expected it is rocky, and they are separated again, because…comics.
One thing I did want to address was the art. After coming off two great issues of Otto Scmidt’s art, Juan Ferreyra let’s the reader he isn’t gonna let Scmidt pull ahead. Ferreyra’s art is really something to beholden and there is a fantastic whole page with Black Canary, that once you see it, you can’t imagine anyone else doing it, just as well. This is also greatly enhanced by his colours, making the book just be beautiful to read.
The issue focuses on them both getting onto the train and dealing with an assassin who is trying to cause instability in the Middle East, an issue relevant in today’s society. We usually try to avoid spoilers, so I will just tell you this, that the way Olly uses a boxing glove in this issue, is very innovative and a great hilarious moment. He also allows Dinah to use her sonic scream in a more interesting way than just to take down enemies.
My only complaint with this issue is we have a case where Team Arrow, are framed at the end, although it is painfully obvious it is not them. This is a minor complaint that will no doubt be solved in the next issue, however Green Arrow was framed in the last main arc, and has to tackle the police in the next arc, it seems framing seems to be related with Olly, almost as much as the island is. However Ben Percy continues to do it in ways that it has not got stale so far, leaving much for the readers to still remain intrigued.
