About this Collection

Green Arrow Vol. 3: Emerald Outlaw collects issues #16-25 of the Rebirth-era Green Arrow series, written by Benjamin Percy. This arc sees Oliver Queen and Black Canary on the run after being framed for murder, forcing them to operate outside the law while uncovering a conspiracy tied to the Ninth Circle. The story deepens the political and street-level tone of the run, with art by Otto Schmidt, Juan Ferreyra, and others.

"Emerald Outlaw Part One" kicks off a high-stakes arc in Green Arrow #3 (2017), where Green Arrow is framed for murder after Malcolm Merlyn kills Chief Westberg with an arrow—turning public opinion against him. With anti-Green Arrow candidate Nathan Domini now mayor, the real mastermind, Cyrus Broderick, pulls strings from the shadows, capturing Domini and holding him at the Ninth Circle. As Ollie teams up with Victoria Much to uncover Queen Industries’ secrets, Malcolm closes in for a final showdown. Written by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Otto Schmidt, with a striking cover by Juan Ferreyra, this issue sets a tense, morally complex stage for the series.
