Green Arrow #36

Green Arrow's bearded face dominates this striking 2004 cover by Marcos Martín and Álvaro López, his mouth open in a shout as a nuclear mushroom cloud rises ominously over a city skyline behind him. The bold question "Whose Bomb Is It Anyway?" sets the tone for "City Walls Part Three: Captive Audience," a chapter that clearly raises the stakes to catastrophic levels. With Judd Winick writing and Phil Hester and Ande Parks on interior art, this issue promises the kind of socially charged, high-tension storytelling that defined this era of the Emerald Archer's ongoing series.
