Green Arrow's life will be forever changed as he is betrayed by those closest to him! A budding relationship with Black Canary forces Ollie to confront the fact that he can't fight "the man" if he is "the man." And one by one, his friends desert him-and all the money in the world won't bring them back when he needs them most.

I enjoyed the story and how character's lives blended easily with action. I also liked the fast pace. Not sure about Dinah, or how she's so sexualised (and does a skimpy outfit really make sense when dealing with dangerous situations? How protective are fishnets really?) but I liked Oliver and his character development. I do feel like having disfigured villains is a little boring and expected though, and has some pretty shitty underlying messages. But still - a really decent Green Arrow story.
