Green Arrow #22
In "The Vertigo Treatment," Green Arrow returns to Starfish Island to find it transformed into a hostile, unstable landscape—where his old enemy, Count Vertigo, now stands as both a threat and an unexpected ally. As their uneasy alliance forces them to confront the island’s growing dangers, a surprising moment of mutual rescue sets off a chain of change that challenges Vertigo’s allegiance and his vision for the future. Written by Scott Beatty and illustrated by Phil Hester, with inks by Ande Parks, colors by James Sinclair, and letters by Janice Chiang, the issue’s cover by Matt Wagner captures the tension and mystery of a world on the edge.
