Summary: 5 Stars
Green arrow is a dc comics superhero who's been around for a while now, and as a result his origin has been retold several times over the years. This is the latest telling of that tale. And very good it is, too.
Oliver Queen, bored billionare playboy is living for the moment and looking for that certain something that's missing from his life. When he's shipwrecked on a desert island, he has to learn archery fast in order to hunt for game so he can survive. but he's not alone on the island. a nasty drug smuggler has a base there, and is keeping lots of people as slaves.
Can one man with a bow and arrow save the day? and find himself in the process?
This was a comic mini series that ran for six issues, and this collects them under one cover. excellently written by andy diggle and with vivid eye catching art from jock that really suits the story and creates the style well, this is a gripping action adventure and an excellent character study. there are no other superheroes in sight, and it does suit the character to be grounded in the real way.
A superb retelling of the tale for a new generation, this is a great read and well worth getting
