Green Arrow #39

Green Arrow #39 brings a visceral clash to the New 52, as the cover by Bryan Hitch puts Oliver Queen in a desperate, close-quarters struggle against a leopard-spotted feral woman who has him firmly in her claws — his bow bent, his quiver still full, his green hood barely intact. Arrayed behind them is a striking wallpaper of police booking photos, each stamped "Smoak, Felicity," hinting at high-stakes trouble reaching far beyond this single fight. With Kreisberg, Sokolowski, Sampere, Glapion, and Eltaeb bringing "Kingdom, Chapter Five" to life, this issue looks like a compelling chapter in a story with serious teeth.
