Green Arrow #9

Green Arrow #9 arrives in July 2012 as part of DC's New 52, with a Howard Porter cover that frames Oliver Queen — green-suited, unmasked, and blazing with what appear to be incendiary arrow tips in each hand — dwarfed between the legs of a massive, heavily armed opponent looming over a snowy wasteland. The tagline "Battle on a Barren Wasteland" says it all: the odds are steep, the terrain is brutal, and Green Arrow looks ready to fight his way out anyway. Ann Nocenti and Harvey Tolibao bring the third chapter of "Tripl3 Tr3at" to a head, making this a satisfying pick for anyone following Oliver Queen's New 52 adventures.
