Green Arrow Vol. 1: The Death and Life Of Oliver Queen (Rebirth)

Great intro to character. Picks up where it left off. New view on the character

Excelente comienzo para green arrow lo recomiendo para fans de antaño y para los nuevos. Lo único negativo es que el tomo no estaba perfecto, tenia detalles de dobleces en la portada, entre otros.

The New 52 Green Arrow never did much for my tastes. Even at its strongest, it just wasn't what I was looking for in a Green Arrow book. This book is clearly meant for me; like much of Rebirth, this story resets much of what the characters involved lost with the New 52. Oliver Queen very much feels like his old self again; he's political, and a little preachy (thankfully never too much to alienate most people, even if you don't agree with him), but most importantly he's fun again. He's snarky, smart, and capable, a description that could fit the book just as well. The book also restores Black Canary more like her earlier depictions, and while she isn't quite where she was before, it's clear that the author intends it to happen as the series progresses. Also like the rest of Rebirth, though, it doesn't totally disregard the new, but it does refine things. There is just a smidgen of Arrowverse Ollie mixed in now, which comes out at times when it feels appropriate. Diggle and Emi (something of an expy of Thea from the tv show) also continue to gain footing as worthy members of the cast. I'm even beginning to feel more than apathy towards Ollie's tech guy now, which I couldn't really say before. Finally, the brand new additions work well too. Two villain groups, the underground people and the Ninth Circle (or the Burned), pop up here, and both are visually interesting and a little repulsive to look at (in a good way). Hopefully, we will see them stick around for future use; Green Arrow does have a tragically small rogues gallery beyond those he borrows from Batman or the Justice League. Last, the art meshes very well with the story. It's very stylized, almost cutesy at times, but it lends itself well to the macabre and unusual elements present here too.

I can't praise this book enough, the story is good and is easy to follow and the main characters are fun and less brooding than the new 52 version's. The best thing about this comic is by far the art and colouring, it really is stunning! There are 2 artists collaborating (Otto Schmidt and Juan E Ferreyra) which do about half each, they have very similar styles and both artists do their own colouring. It's one of the best looking comic's out there and is rightfully one of the best series to come out of DC rebirth.

I used to like the character of Oliver Queen and rebirth vol 1 feels like a fresh reboot....it was nice with good story and artwork and filled with lots of action and arrows...Green Arrow back in his beard was nice
