Green Arrow Vol. 5: The Outsiders War (The New 52)

by Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino

Overview

Oliver Queen thought he had it all figured out. As the heroic archer Green Arrow, he'd finally found a sense of purpose, friends to aid him, even a place on the Justice League of America. But now, he's not even sure where he came from... or who he came from.

As Green Arrow discovers that his stranding on a desert island was more than just an accident, there seem to be more sinister forces at work behind all these sudden revelations. The Queen family is embroiled in a war generations old. A war of clans.  A war of outsiders.

Acclaimed creative team Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN) and Andrea Sorrentino (I, VAMPIRE) take Green Arrow on his most challenging adventure yet. Collects issues #25-31.

Editorial Reviews

"Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino hit the bullseye perfectly with Green Arrow. Sharply written and featuring beautiful artwork, this is another hidden gem in the New 52 crown."—Craveonline

"Great writing, awesome artwork, fun premise and looks of cool action? Yep, Green Arrow's got it all."—IGN

"Sorrentino is quickly headed for superstar status with his work on Green Arrow, and his partnership with Lemire—-who is also a skilled visual storyteller—-is pushing the artist to new levels of excellence."—A.V. Club/The Onion

"This is most certainly going to be one of the best looking books of the year if Sorrentino keeps getting scripts from Lemire that show off his best work."—Comic Book Resources
