Green Arrow is my favorite voice of the DC universe. He's blunt, always wants to kick butt-no matter who it is, and he's a great hunter.
Hunter's Moon is my first ride with the Green Arrow and it was great!
He takes on homophobia, a, child abuser, and chemical war from space. Need I say more?
Can't wait to read more about the clever Oliver Queen.

There are a lot of things to like about this collection. There are also a lot of cringey things being that this is very much a product of its time and some of the prevailing attitudes. That being said, it strikes me as surprisingly progressive for a mainstream superhero comic of the late 1980s. But that was what I was expecting given GA's history. I mean the third-story in this volume deals with hate crimes against the gay community. And while there are some definite stereotypes and awkward turns of phrases, the couple featured in the story are shown as loving and committed and not caricatures.
Things I really love about this characterization and this collection: Dinah Lance, Dinah and Ollie's very adorable interactions, Ollie's snark, all the women who comment on Oliver's physique, the ethically questionable Fyers, all of the random set-pieces in the background of the scenes (i.e. random cats, a stork statue), etc. etc. I could think of more I am sure.
I am not sure these comics are for everyone, but I sure like them.

I really enjoyed this book and how willing they were to go into the political issues of the day (late 80's). They were talking about real problems and showing, not telling, how human Green Arrow and Black Canary are. There are excellent parallels between themselves and the people they are helping. The artwork is pretty fantastic too, and I love some of the gorgeous panel work that was done with it. Can't wait to read the second one.

There were elements of this that I found to be too dark. That hampered my enjoyment some, but overall I thought it was a compelling story and a worthy follow-up to Longbow Hunters.

80s Green Arrow takes away the pain of the new 52 Green arrow & Marc Guggenheims messy writing

This should be "suggested for mature readers" who aren't that smart. Black Canary is a damaged, broken woman who only seems interested in recovering enough from her torture in a previous series to have sex with the Green Arrow again. The stories are meant to feel gritty but instead only serve as foreshadowing to the the forgettable ultra violent dreck of the 1990s rather than giving the Emerald Archer the Dark Knight treatment.
