Green Arrow #6

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Green Arrow #6 (April 2012) delivers a chaotic three-way melee straight from its Howard Porter and Ray McCarthy cover: Oliver Queen in his green hood trades blows alongside a black-clad female fighter and a small red-costumed figure, all of them squared off against a massive, grotesque undead creature bristling with arrows. The tag line — "How do you kill what's already dead?" — frames the threat perfectly, and with Jurgens, Giffen, Calero, and McCarthy inside, there's real craft behind the action. A satisfying chapter in Oliver's early New 52 adventures.
