The artist and colorist did a great job with this because the artwork was fantastic.. the story itself is easy to follow but nothing really special.. 3.5 stars.

I think the best way I can describe this book is it exists. The art was fantastic but other than that it feels just incomplete and somehow both too slow and rushed at the same time. I know it's a tie-in to larger story and also has a direct sequel but I personally believe a book should stand on its own first and foremost when it comes to graphic novels.

I grabbed this on a whim from the library. It came out at a very odd time during my comic book reading cycle and I missed it, but I'm glad I checked it out.I enjoyed part of the New 52, but Green Arrow definitely got the short end of the stick. This book had the REAL Green Arrow, the Oliver Queen I had read and idolized for 20 years of my life. THIS was the man who knew what he was doing, who knew how to handle the bad guys, and how to make sure that his city was safe.Even after watching "Arrow"...

This was surprisingly good! It picks off with sudden forests growing in Star city and we learn the mystery of what it is and Ollie is its protector and he fights random villains appearing here and there, we have a flashback of his past (like a few days ago) in Star city and meeting this girl Mary and reporter Evan, in the present day he teams up with GL Hal and then Martian Manhunter and fights black lanterns, meets this dude Galahad and revival 2.0 and learns more of the mystery of this forest

This wasn't bad but was a little weird for Green Arrow. This series is set right after Blackest Night and is a tie-in to Brightest Day. A "magical" forest has sprung up in Star City that is seemingly the work of the White Lanterns. Weird things keep happening in the forest like people being brought back from near death in its lake and heroes losing their powers when they enter the forest. The bigger story involves a woman from Oliver's past showing up as the new owner of Queen Industries and att...

3.5, but I'd rather boost it up than down. This book didn't do anything special to me - I'll probably forget most of the story in the not-too-distant future - but I enjoyed it while it was there. There are some great lines thrown out, some great art (especially on the covers & variants), & the story rarely if ever felt too slow.Plus Nix is like one of the scariest looking comic book characters I've ever seen. I haven't watched that Arrow series, but I will literally put in the time much sooner i...

This was pretty bland. Basically Green arrow lives in a forest, bad guys come, he has to stop them. Then he has to go after his mother because she is now queen bitch. That's the entire storyline in a nutshell with some weird white lantern stuff happening in the background due to brightest day event. But the thing is this story isn't interesting. It's not very fun. Oliver comes off panicking ALL the time and it's annoying. The fights are cool I guess as is the general art, but nothing really feel...

Green Arrow finds that his beloved Star City has an infestation of trees growing in the heart of the city, invading its streets, seemingly fighting back against human intrusion. Except this forest has something eerie about it; it’s alive somehow and manages to regrow parts that have been chopped down almost immediately. Then there’s the Russian Queen, a bitter woman who knew Oliver Queen’s dad and is intent on turning Queen Industries into something terrible. Throw in a faceless assassin, a poss...

I haven't really read any of Brightest Day so I was not entirely certain of where everything was coming from. That being said this is clearly a Green Arrow/Robin Hood comparison in many ways. I found the tie between Arrow and the new owner of Queen Industries interesting and I love the idea of the forest healing everything. The story felt unfinished and I am wondering if it will be continued prior to the new 52.I am curious about Galahad's part to play and I am wondering if reading the rest of B...

Green Arrow has long been one of those characters that I have had a love/hate relationship with. With some writers the character really comes alive, and with others the story languishes and the character just becomes bland. J.T. Krul is really bringing this character to life for me in a way I haven't seen since the days when Grell was doing the writing. Tossing in a bit of Arthurian Legend to mix with the Robin Hood mythos is a great approach, and while still uniquely its own it adds a nice extr...

I haven't read any other from brightest day, and was able to enjoy this anyway. Sad that the story arch didn't come to a more certain conclusion. It felt less like a cliffhanger and more like the authors just ran out of steam.

Green Lantern has always been one of the most conflicted and intriguing characters in the DC Comics universe and this graphic novel, suitable for adults and teens, doesn't disappoint. The premise of the story is a mysterious forest has sprung up in the remains of a devastated Star City and Green Arrow/Oliver Queen becomes a Robin Hood-like figure protecting those in need. There is an added subplot of a mysterious woman taking over Queen Industries who has an agenda against Oliver, who must also

This was a great read exploring Green Arrow and the mysterious forest he now inhabits in Star City Post-Darkest Night.Unfortunately, we don't get too much information on that front, but crazy stuff does go down.While this is not as strong as the Brightest Day series proper, it is much stronger than the Blackest Night shoot-offs that are essentially its equivalent. The artwork was good, but the covers are beautiful. I can't wait for the final volume of Brightest Day:-)

Unfortunately, I haven't read Blackest Night or Brightest Day. So I went into this one blind. I'm pretty sure I only even picked it up because I'm obsessive over Green Arrow. I regret having not read them in order, but whatever.So I can see the value of this volume. This is probably the most grief-stricken, self-loathing Green Arrow I've ever read. He's feeling that he failed his parents, his company, and his city. So there is a lot of character development going on here for Ollie.The artwork wa...

Fashioned after the mythic Robin Hood, you knew it was only a matter of time before DC Comics' very own Emerald Archer found himself in a forest. Following the Brightest Day storyline, Oliver "Green Arrow" Queen has set himself up as protector of the star-shaped forest within his city limits. The book does little to move beyond the typical comparisons - a mysterious knight appears to aid Ollie, a "lady of the lake" appears in the form of Ollie's deceased mother, and the tyrannical red-garbed Que...

This run of Green Arrow is a mixed bag, but worth a read if you ever see it on store shelves.This run of Green Arrow follows the events of Blackest Night, but fortunately, you don't have to have read the event in order to understand the plot. You'll pick up some nice references, but if something is relevant to the plot, they'll explain it to you just in case. My main problem is that this novel doesn't really know where it wants to go or what it wants to be. At some points it,s a mystical, mediev...

I haven't read much of Green Arrow. But I read the origin story and the story with Black Canary. I thought that this was very interesting. Not only is an outcast from his home, but it also seems as though from himself. Oliver can't seem to get beyond his past. But the story basically lets him know that he'll not be able to help the future if he can't move on. He has to be able to forgive himself. And he is apparently his toughest opponent.

This book had a very strong last 2 or 3 issues. But i felt this book was left on a cliffhanger ending because I believe there was supposed to be a second trade before the new 52. I just don't feel a 5 star book here. If you're a fan of green arrow, this is a must own however. As I said the last couple of issues in this are amazing.

The covers are amazing, but once you open it up, the art seems cartoony, but that's just in comparison with the covers. The interior is actually great.The story is filled with tie-ins, but once you remove that, there's not much left. A decent story about... The russian queen taking over Queen Industries... A battle wit Nix. Galahad helping Ollie out. And... Um.. That's It I think. The tie ins involve the forest, the tree with the white lantern mark, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and some Blac...
