Oliver Queen, aka The Green Arrow, is a direct cross between Hawkeye and Batman/Bruce Wayne. He has the Batman set up and is 'the worlds most skilled archer'. - Although I guess crime fighters should have backup skills, Queen does get close and go to the fists a bit fast for my liking.

We start with Arrow flying to Paris to take out some street thieves. On face value this seemed like a bit of a long stretch but as he is a billionaire I'm willing to let it go. After defeating the gang and getting them incarcerated another villain busts them loose. His name is Rush, and he has assembled a team of brawlers who he wants to use to take out Arrow 'live' streamed on the internet. This has the juxtaposition of the audience cheering on the villains. Arrow sends them a message as he brings them to justice.

Oliver Queen often talks to his tech guy, Jax, about building him some new arrows to use on bad guys. He also has a back-up team that talks to him and helps him fight bad guys. 

The next person to tangle with Green Arrow is Midas and Blood Rose. Both are more than they seem. On face value, they are simple villains, but there is some deeper motives behind their mayhem.

The book is well drawn and the writing is good, showing us that Queen, the man behind the very small mask, is trying to use his skills to make a difference, both with The Green Arrow and his company. It has it's flaws; some of the set up is kooky and no matter how hard Queen gets hit, he always looks chiseled and handsome in the next panel.I do like his little team. The only other problem is that Oliver Queen runs off and The Green Arrow appears a bit too frequently for no-one to guess what is going on. I'm going to recommend. I have Volume 2 and I'm looking forward to reading that.
