Green Arrow #18

In "The Return of Roy Harper, Part 1: The Black Artery," writer Benjamin Percy and artist Eleonora Carlini kick off a pivotal chapter in Roy Harper’s journey, reuniting the character with his roots on the Indian Reservation where he once found shelter and purpose. Flashbacks reveal the early bond between a young Roy and Green Arrow, while the present-day Roy—now Arsenal—returns to confront a new threat: an oil pipeline endangering his people’s land, and a brother who holds him responsible for a past loss. The issue’s striking cover by Otto Schmidt captures Roy’s return in stark, haunting detail.
