Green Arrow#11: Where Ollie steals the magic bow from the Archer of the D&D cartoon


As I'm feeling a bit underweather (and the amounts of workload has stopped me from doing my monthly reviews) I will write a quick one of the recent issue of GA. Sadly since issue 7 the story hit a low and became sluggish due the froce crossover with BD. I'm so eager for it to finish it and see what Krul can do without his hand being force by Johns or DiDio.

The Good: The endless moping and crossover with BD seems to be at hand. Ollie finally discovers that he is indeed a hero (dunno why it took him 11 issues...) and is revealed that he now can use a nifty magic bow made of White energy, very similar to the bow appearing the old D&D cartoon.

The Bad: Lousy cameos from the Arrow family and poor depiction of the battles made the art fall flat, probably the lowest point in the new run.

The Ugly: Nothing new sadly. The book needs to get out of crossovers soon so it can be its own err... book again. Ollie works better when he is left alone. Also needs mroe Mia.

The veredict: Average at best. Can improve much more. It woudl be interesting to see if Ollie keeps the magic bow or is just a one time gimmick.

"cameos from the Arrow family"
As in Mia/Connor/Roy??

Finally!

Though I hope they'll be able to turn up the tables and remake this book into a fun GOOD Green Arrow title...
