Esperaba mucho más, la verdad. En especial considerando que es el último volumen del run de Mike Grell. Tuvo dos momentos interesantes pero dejó muchos cabos sueltos y no me agradó para nada el asunto con Marianne. Shado aparece espontáneamente pero no tuvo el cierre que el personaje merecía.

I am gonna go witha 4.5 rounded up. I really enjoyed that Grell's last story featured Fyers. And that his run ended on such a bleak note for Oliver. I enjoyed The Wonder Year story. It was fun to see Ollie's origin story.

Honestly, the ending here sorts fizzled out, but The Wonder Year seriously raises the value. It was nice to see Roy pop up. I only wish the Grell run had ended there. Oliver and Dinah end up in a space that makes sense, but I feel she was poorly used for the entirety of the run.
As for The Wonder Year, I was pleased to finally have that collected though it doesn't really for here. It's an excellent standalone tale of Green Arrow's early days, and has the distinction of being my favorite Arrow story.

After reading this, and doing a quick search on what to read next, I'm surprised that fans reacted so negatively to Felicity Smoak on Arrow. While Black Canary is a recurring love interest, she's hardly the only one.
That out of the way, this was a disappointing way to wrap up Grell's Green Arrow run. It feels a bit like the plots are happening to Oliver and there's no clear reason why hethrows away everything with Dinah Lance . The main run Green Arrow comics also end on rather a down note and then segways abruptly into the Wonder Year mini-series, which is a huge jump in time and drawing style. I thought for a minute that I was reading a story about Robert Queen instead of Oliver.
Nonetheless, there were good moments... the brief return of Roy Harper and Shado, the multiple costumes parties with outfits that are in-jokes, Green Arrow's banter with the detestable Eddie Fyres. Overall I liked the Grell run but this was one of the weaker collections within it.
