The connective tissue between each of Green Arrow's team ups is very interesting as the same person from the Ninth Circle following him around and causing problems not only for Oliver but the hero he's with as well. The inclusion of Black Canary and Emi's story back in Star City is extremely interesting with how it shows what is happening in Star City while Oliver is away and how the two are trying to help with Oliver's upcoming court case by trying to prove his innocence. The art throughout the book is amazing as it shows off the different locations that Green Arrow travel to from large cities to even traveling into space with Green Lantern have a great amount of detail while asleep have some almost breathtaking moments. Additionally the art also does an amazing job in bringing each hero to life with how they interact with Oliver along with how each of their power sets work with Oliver's own abilities. 7.5/10.
