__________
This part includes Takeover Bid (Vol. 3) and Business Blues (Vol. 4). The titles say it all; they are pure business with the usual awesomeness of action, thrill, and emotions! Let's talk business first.. In this installment there is a bigger emphasis on how tycoons have twisted tricks up their sleeves to manipulate financial systems, i.e. tax evasion and fraud, and yet how they manage to legalize their illegal actions. That being said, Largo Winch is still a handsome womanizer, and still has his awesome dagger. There is appearance of new villains in the field like the Green Archer who reminds me of a fantastic TV series I'm watching called Arrow based on [b:Green Arrow: Year One|2662182|Green Arrow Year One|Andy Diggle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348598681s/2662182.jpg|2687408].
