Green Arrow #1
"God save the Queen" kicks off a gripping new chapter in Green Arrow’s saga, with Kevin Smith and Alex Nikolavitch crafting a tense, character-driven mystery that plunges Ollie into a psychological labyrinth. Phil Hester’s dynamic art, brought to life by Ande Parks’ inks and Guy Major’s vivid colors, captures the storm of doubt and danger as Batman scrutinizes Ollie’s identity—while the Demon’s arrival at the Queen estate raises the stakes with a chilling threat. Matt Wagner’s cover perfectly encapsulates the tension, blending shadow and suspense in a striking portrait of the archer at his most vulnerable.
