I'm not familiar with the Convergence storyline, but this was enjoyable. Not really a whole lot of time for character development in two issues, but it's good.

I just want everyone to know that I would die for the actual Arrow Fam, no matter what Earth.

Father and son reunion in Metropolis.

[Solace Winter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm very used to the Oliver Queen on Arrow and must admit to knowing little about Green Arrow, so the suspense of a long lost child, or the cliffhanger at the end didn't mean as much to me. However, for not knowing much I must admit that it still intrigued me to want to know more, and the cliffhanger was needed in comparison to many of the Convergence titles I've read so far.

This was entertaining. On another note, Oliver never did learn to keep it in his pants.

Green Arrow throwback?

I'm confused about this whole convergence event, but I am interested to see where this goes. Issue 1 is a good start.
