Green Arrow, Vol. 5: City Walls

2005Judd Winick

4.5/5

I really got to get to reading more of Judd Winick stuff because everything I've read from him so far I've liked. Green Arrow is no exception. Sadly I read this before volume 4 (I gotta hunt that one down), so some of the events are missing. It seems not too long ago Ollie was attacked by someone and Mia and Conner almost suffered a horrible fate. He's not on edge, freaking out all the time, while also trying to basically be a father to Conner AND Mia. I love Pops Oliver, and then you find out he did something awful again. Without spoiling myself he might have cheated. Oh, and if you think that is bad, the whole city becomes stuck in a vortex where NO violence is permitted otherwise you die. SO yeah...Green Arrow has a few things to deal with at once. Good: The internal struggle with Oliver is great. Love seeing him try to juggle so many things, while also being hard on himself for slipping up. Watching him with Mia and Conner is wonderful. I also enjoyed the art work, very cartoonish but it works real well here. The first chapter where Roy and Conner go out to have a boy's night is also filled with lolz. Oh, and the ending, damn...Bad: The demon's coming in and taking over the city was a little meh. Kind of felt unneeded and we could have got more realistic story for our character. Overall this was great. Judd Winick obviously know's Oliver and gives the man plenty to deal with. The fights are great, the family feel is perfect, and the ending has me hyped for more. Green Arrow in this era just rocked. A 4 out of 5.
