Green Arrow #47

Green Arrow surges forward with bow drawn and multiple arrows at the ready, flanked by a dark-clad female warrior brandishing blades — all set against a crimson sky crawling with skeletal figures and a snarling, blue-eyed beast bearing down from the right. The tagline "Sticks and Stones…!" hints at the kind of brutal, no-quarter conflict that writer Benjamin Percy brings to this February 2016 chapter, with cover art by Joe Bennett and Jack Jadson perfectly selling the chaos. It's a visually urgent issue that earns its "Day of the Dead" story title just from the cover alone.
