I'm honestly still shocked at just how awful this is. If there was a zero star option it would still be too high. As plenty of others have already said, they whole story makes no sense. It just jumps all over the place with no explanation. I honestly thought I'd somehow missed an issue between 7 and 8...but then it just keeps happening. How was this even released?! I'm glad someone mentioned that it gets better (after this writer is removed). Otherwise this may have been the last GA book I read....

WOW This shit pissed me off enough that I'm going to make an entire video now how New 52 nearly KILLED Green Arrow with this garbage.

Atrocious. Simply awful. It's one thing to reference Shakespeare, but it takes a certain kind of idiot to not only try to do King Lear in three issues of a comic book, but to repeatedly call out "we're doing Lear" every three pages. And then not do it at all well. And then follow it up with a 'topical' piece about the 99%ers, because, well, it's Green Arrow and isn't he relevant to that? Not in the story they tell. And then it sets up story beats that aren't followed up on. Just like the Lear ar...

Just when you thought New 52 Green Arrow couldn't get any worse, Vol. 2 appears. Inconsistent art throughout. The characters suffer from flat writing. This Oliver Queen decides to share his secret identity with some more folks than usual, and is unlikable and not in a cool anti-hero way. Pass on Green Arrow until he is rebooted... again.

Green Arrow Vol. 2 collects issues 7-13 of the DC Comics series written by Ann Nocenti with art by Harvey Tolibao, Freddie Williams II, and Steve Kurth.Green Arrow is taken captive by beautiful triplets and must try to save Queen Industries from a hostile take over by a Chinese businessman. This was really bad. I don't think the author understands Olliver Queen. The art was way too busy. This has been an incredibly disappointing start to the New 52 volume.

I'm currently making my way through all of the volume 2's of the New 52 DC comics that are on a group Comixolgy app. I decided to read the series that I enjoyed the least first so that I could go ahead and get them over with. This volume is worse than the first volume of Green Arrow and is the worst thing that I've read in the New 52 so far. Harvey Tolibao provides the art for issues #7-9 & #11-12. There are a few great looking panels scattered among his work. Most of these are panels that conta...

Green Arrow in The New 52 got off to a rough start. Writers tried to reinvent the character into something new, while also getting rid of everything we liked about the character.Krul was dropped from the book and it was handed to Ann Nocenti.I don't know why they did that.Nocenti's first run actually had some potential in it (for the first few pages). There could have been an interesting story with these three strange triplets who make Queen an offer he can't refuse. What we get instead is utter...

I think I'm embarrassed to claim to have read this. I need a shelf for "series in-progress but not for much longer". Whatever the writer and artist thought they were doing, they violated Niven's Fourth Law ("It is a sin to waste the reader's time"). If you are using words to tell a story, make sure they are sensible and clear and self-consistent and actually advance plot and character development. I'm no visual artist, but if you are using pictures to tell a story, make sure they are sensible an...

*Book source ~ LibraryGreen Arrow is set upon by triplets and lets his cock do the thinking. After which he goes to China and screws the pooch. Not literally, thank goodness though after that first storyline I wouldn’t be surprised.Ok, seriously? This has got the stupidest superhero story I’ve read yet. Other than Green Arrow/Oliver clearly letting his testosterone run the show, I had no idea wtf this entire thing was about. The artwork’s not bad if we’re talking about everything except Green Ar...

Well! That's about all I can take from Green Arrow's new 52. I didn't hate the first volume at all. It was half decent (with the first half being a steaming pile) but utterly harmless.This is just something else. It's a black void. The art changes with each storyline - and sadly there are too many - from a gritty, nightmarish style to a more vanilla, cartoony style and back again. The effect is jarring, but not so jarring as the genre shifts (from sexual thriller to existential science fiction t...

Hold your nose and step carefully around this garbage. There's nothing good about this book. Nothing.And it pains me to say this because not only is the writer a woman, but we share the same name!The art is awful. It's like someone decided to draw squiggly lines all over everyone's faces. And GA's costume included these bug-eye goggles that looked like something out of a steampunk novel. Blech. Terrible. But here's the deathblow, there was no cohesive storyline. It didn't exist.We don't need

Man, the Arrow TV Show has spoiled me. Every time I read this book I compare it to the show, but even if I didn't, this is a complete waste of time. The stories are disjointed, I don't care about the outcome, I don't car about Green Arrow, I don't care about Queen's shenanigans with his company. Also, his tech-genius (or whatever) feel like they don't exist (really the CW should pat themselves in the back for coming up with Felicity Smoak).Green Arrow looks like a douchebag. You know these peopl...

Holy crap, it got worse.The artwork is horrid, the plotting is even worse - seriously there are HUGE plot gaps that occur between issues and we're just meant to accept they happened. At the end of Issue 7 Oliver is caught and imprisoned, at the start of Issue 8, not only is he free, but he has been set free by one of his captors because she is supposedly in love with him! Don't you think this huge plot point should have been explored? I'm not sure whether it's uninspired or just merely lazy writ...

We have three storylines here. In the first one he runs afoul of a villain who has genetically engineered a hot set of triplets. 3 hot barbie doll blonds. Of course, there are sexual overtones there. Then it goes beyond that when Green Arrow has a tryst with all 3..at once. I knew comic books have a bad rep of being male fantasies, but I was little shocked to see that actually happen. Of course, it happened off-panel, but still. And a female wrote this at that, so it wasn't just a male writer le...

Wow, when the author and artist change from Volume 1 to Volume 2 so does my enjoyment! This collection of stories is so terrible that I ended up just skimming the last 2 issues because I did not care at all what happened. This volume contains two separate story arcs; the first one was silly and pointless, but the second one was needlessly complex and soooo boring. The second arc also has Green Arrow fighting out of costume and as Queen for most of its duration which is a comic book pet peeve of

I'm only reading these as I'm a completest and want to be "filled in" as I'm excited about Jeff Lemire taking over the reins. I liked this volume way better than the first and actually quite enjoyed it. Never been a fan of Green Arrow, but the clean shaven (no goatee!) look makes him much more easier to take seriously. I like where the plot is going for him on a personal level, the stuff with his business. All the villains here are new ones, so we don't meet up with any old faces but that's ok b...

The first volume in this series was okay and I was hoping it would improve but alas its just getting worse. The stories are disjointed and uninteresting. The art is a mix of bad to okay. Perhaps because I’m reading this while trying to work through the CW network’s “Arrow” television show, which I’ve actually been enjoying (even with some of the young adult love triangle drama), is raising unfair expectations. I have some of the older Green Arrow collections on order. Maybe I’ll take a break fro...

Reprints Green Arrow (4) #7-13 (May 2012-December 2012). Green Arrow finds himself drawn in by triplets named the Skylarks and their father Leer in a gambit that could cost him the Q-Core forever. With his company in jeopardy, Oliver must think fast and fight to save the business…which may mean turning over dangerous technology to the Chinese.Written by Ann Nocenti, Green Arrow Volume 2: Triple Threat is the second volume of the New 52 relaunch of the DC series. Following Green Arrow Volume 1: T...

I really don't know what to make of this second New 52 volume of Green Arrow. It's a bit closer to Oliver Queen than the first two story arcs were, but Ann Nocenti's idea of dialogue and inner monologue doesn't seem to flow properly with the action that's going on, with lots of superfluous caption boxes making everything a huge slog to read. But then I found myself actually enjoying what was going on.The first story arc with the Skylarks and King Leer is extremely odd, and comes to an abrupt con...

Unconnected stories, confusing action, disgraceful human being (that being Oliver) and seemingly missing pages or whole issues during this.I'd give have given it 2 stars if they had done something more with the human robot issue. That had something different to it at least.But really, he goes from being captured, to free, fighting some random guy with his daughters (who Olly had sex with all at once of course earlier on), to escaping miles away on a snowmobile with one of the daughters that for
