"One man can make all the difference."
This was so good. I love fantasy but there's nothing like a good old fashioned and simple superhero comic.
The comics tell the story of how drunkard Oliver Queen turns his life around and becomes the Green Arrow helped with beautiful renderings.
As a fan of the show - well, kinda, 'cause now I have a love/hate relationship with it- I was excited to read this comic, and the differences were outstanding.
I must say though that I'm liking the comics more. My brother is always bugging me telling me that the Arrow in the show is basically Batman, and the one in the comics is the real one. A sassier kinda hero, which is fine with me since I love sassiness.
Green Arrow remains my favorite DC superhero, if not my favorite superhero period. I love how he's just a normal guy - well I mean human - that decides he can do more to help others. Even though he needed a bit of a push to get there.
Plot-wise I think it was fairly simple and extremely fast-paced which makes for good action. I didn't felt oh so disoriented at least when I saw China White there.
She's a bit heartless. But not the smartest there is out there, which she compliments with serious stares and treating people with horrific ends that revolted my stomach. Still, I don't think we have seen the last of her.
As an origin story, this one made enough sense to me, and it opens the doors to more to come that I hope to be reading soon.

Oliver is a likable protag and easy to cheer for!
He’s different from Clint by his lack of imposter syndrome and strong belief in his skills. He has more fun with his abilities and superhero identity as well.
I like this change even if I still like Barton more
