On one hand Green Arrow and Black Canary are finally reunited. On the other hand, I'm not a big fan of the art.
Damn. That was awesome. Benjamin Percy writes a great crime story similar to, but with more humor than, Jeff Lemire. And Otto Schmidt's illustrations and colors are incredible, like a bright pastel version of Patrick Gleason. Totally picking up Volume 1.
This was my favorite of the one shots of the first week. It's great to see Green Arrow and Black Canary kicking ass together again. I also get the impression that there will be a bit more depth to their characters moving forward, which obviously is never a bad thing. (view spoiler)[The main part that stuck with me was Oliver's willingness to put the needs of the young boy ahead of the importance of keeping his secret safe, as well as the fact that he was able to admit that to Dinah Lance.

(I read this as a physical single issue, but I'm not able to find that edition on GR, so I'm just going to use this one).This was my second favorite of this week's one-shots! I wasn't sure if I'd like it that much or not because, aside from the DCAU Justice League Unlimited and a few episodes of season 1 of Arrow, I haven't really been exposed to Green Arrow, but I've always love archery, and the fact that Oliver is a super-lib like me, so I think this was a match made in heaven. Also, Black Can...
booring introduction ...
I don't think I read anything pertaining to Green Arrow. This was surprisingly good, I liked the fact that it takes place in Seattle and not Metropolis or Gotham. This loses a star because I feel like they are going to make a romance between Arrow and Canary and I could care less about that. Regardless, I still plan on continuing this series.
Loved it! Really thought this was one of the better Rebirth issues.What's so exciting about this?Dinah & Oliver!<--FINALLLY! I've missed those guys being together. Oliver just isn't as cool without Dinah, you know? They both sort of play off of each other, and you end up with something better than two solo heroes.Or at least that's the way I feel. I also loved that they brought back the phrase Social Justice Warrior in this. Ollie has always (in my opinion) been less of a badass killer and more
I'm I quite like this, actually. It's surprising because I've never been a big Green Arrow fan. I couldn't get past the first three eps of the CW show and he never interested me that much when he popped up in other comics I've read. Here, he's a really sweet guy. He's just trying to protect the people in his city and he looks like a badass while doing it. I'm definitely intrigued. As for Dinah, I don't really like this version of her that much. It seems so odd to me that she'd make a dig about O...
I should point out that I do not know much about Green Arrow aside from what little I have seen of the TV series and from Justice League stories here and there. However, this issue did a good job of introducing me to Green Arrow and Black Canary while giving me an idea of where they'll be heading as characters. The art style matched the tone and characters of the comic: a good balance between realistic looking art and cartoonish art. As a new reader to Green Arrow (this is a series I will probab...
Not a bad first issue. The Green Arrow is definitely a character I would like to read more of.
This is the strongest of the Rebirth one-shot comics I've read so far. Green Arrow is a self-proclaimed social justice warrior and he does not shy away from being a bleeding heart liberal. I actually quite like this aspect of Green Arrow. He should be a SJW. He has the means and ability to protect those that aren't protected and I like that about this beginning. Black Cannery is going to be a great counter to Green Arrow and I'm looking forward to their relationship. This had action, humor, and
Green Arrow and Black Canary! That's all I have to say :D
Wow, after the tv series I had to adjust to Ollie being in Seattle and not Star City! I also had to remind myself Olicity is not a thing yet!
Thought i'd give Green Arrow a chance finally, because i don't know what is is but i've never been a fan of the guy he just annoys me. However for how short this is, it packs quite a good story, it's the most action packed of the rebirth titles, and sets up the series pretty well too. Even makes you feel a tiny teeny bit sorry for Queen, although we don't need 50 issues of him deciding whether or not to keep the goatee. Not rating these rebirth titles as they're just one issue and it seems unfai...
All i care about is Dinah Lance!!!!!!!!!!
Black Canary X Green Arrow!!! AAHHH MY LOVES!Seriously love these 2 so much, and I am glad a series is FINALLY doing these two justice. The plot was interesting and tense and of course my lovely OTP was brilliant. So much fun, Can't wait to continue on!
This is so good. I'm crossing my fingers for a significant Black Canary in Rebirth.
"I PREFER THE JOB DESCRIPTION OF SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR"I normally don't review individual issue of comics, however this one deserved the extra attention.Continuity was awful- which is to say the plot does not flow well by explaining itself naturally. Instead we are left to just accept and follow random events that do now flow or sync together while buzzwords are forced into awkward conversations.Perhaps my first mistake was becoming excited for this. That is all washed away on the very first pa...
At first read I thought this issue was ok, after reading Green Arrow #1 and how it went off the rails, I wondered how this issue was getting good reviews. After a quick flip thru, I can see that compared to other Rebirth titles, this one has a very good complete story. Instead of being a sort epilogue, prologue or a filler story, here any concepts being introduced are part of good natural flowing story, the intro of our hero, our hero's new 'partner', mystery disappearances, threat of some minio...
One of the worst things about the New 52 was what they did to Green Arrow. The character went from a flawed, well-rounded, courageous character to a vapid, one-dimensional, unlikable character. Everything that was great about Oliver Queen was stripped away and what was left was a shell of the character that I had loved. Prior to the New 52, Green Arrow was one of my favorite superheroes of all-time, so seeing what had happened to him was heartbreaking. Then came Rebirth. Green Arrow: Rebirth # 1...
