Seattle sure is Crowded
Green Arrow #24 does a great job of getting everyone up to speed whether you're a long time reader or a rookie like myself. Through backstory and an awesome splash page, everyone will be ready to go. That is a good thing because after that page Jeff Lemire kicks it into overdrive and things get crazy, and I mean that in a good way. We get Count Vertigo's awesome power corrupting downtown Seattle. Richard Dragon is karate kicking and chopping on the rooftops, and a surprise reveal will have fans of the TV show cheering wildly. Seriously, Jeff Lemire grabs you and never lets you catch your breath until you close the book.
Speaking of grabbing you, Andrea Sorrentino's art is incredible. I'm normally a story first, art second kind of guy, but I'm not sure which is better in this issue. I say that as a huge compliment to both Lemire and Sorrentino.
Bits and Pieces:
Green Arrow #24 is that rare comic that has it all. The story is nonstop adventure and action and the art is breathtaking. The book is made to be a jumping on point for the uninitiated and also has enough fan service to please long time fans. Seriously, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
9.8/10
