This volume of Kevin Smith's run on Green Arrow is superior to the first, I'd say. Smith makes us cheer for Ollie (Grren Arrow) whether he's trying to win back Black Canary's heart, stomping the Riddler, or holding the villain Onomatopoeia at arrow-point.
Speaking of Onomatopoeia, the Smith and Hester created villain really makes this volume creepy. He's a bad guy who says the word of a sound as the sound happens. Upon butchering a minor character in the book, as her blood drips into the water in the bathtub he's killed her in, the psychotic killer merely stands and says, "Drip." Spooky... And a total enigma, too.
I've gotta say, the final showdown in this one, laced with action and intrigue, had me feverishly page-flipping to see waht was going to happen.
All this, paired with Smith's crisp and (sometimes) funny dialogue and Hester's one of a kind art, make this a great read for any fan of Green Arrow or Smith.
