Comic Afterthoughts The Pull List (10/2/13): Arrow points up
Posted By Andy Smith on Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 3:07 PM
In the wake of Villains Month (which was quite a success, according to shop owners across the country), DC has returned to funnybook business as usual. This week's Title You Can't Miss tackles one of the strongest ongoing comics put out by the company: Green Arrow.
After taking over with Green Arrow #17, scribe Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino added a noir edge to the ongoing series. The team was basically given the charge to repair the comic, and they've done that and more with a new mythology for the character. Fans of Animal Man could have told you Lemire was more than up to the task.
This latest issue includes Oliver Queen's newest ally, Shado, and a return to the Emerald City of Seattle. As Count Vertigo (who was featured in Villains Month) continues to pursue the duo, other trouble is brewing in the underbelly of the city. For anyone who hasn't been plugged into this book, it's time to jump on.
