This review is from: Green Arrow: Road to Jericho VOL 09 (Green Arrow (DC Comics Paperback)) (Paperback)

ROAD TO JERICHO contains issues 66 to 75 of the current ongoing series. Judd Winick, Andy Owens and Scott McDaniel have delivered another masterful story arc about the opinionated, but loveable Oliver Queen, a.k.a. Green Arrow, who has become my all time favorite DC character.

This time around, another opinionated hero, the Dark Knight, Batman, shows up in Star City , supposedly to lend his philanthropic support as Bruce Wayne to help Oliver Queen out. But of course, there's other reasons as we soon find out that a former protege of his - turned psychotic villian, has also arrived, with the intent of taking out Green Arrow's new adopted sidekick, the young female Speedy. But all this fun is preceded by a flashback as the Green Arrow contingent, supposedly blown up at the end of the preceding graphic novel, go through rigorous and tortuous survival and fighting training on a secluded island.

All in all, a great book, filled with all the passion, action, humor and thrills that have become associated with this wonderful character! Any book that throws together the Green Arrow and the Batman characters, so alike and yet so opposite at times, is always worth your time and your hard-earned sheckels!

Favorite scene: Green Arrow & Speedy are discussing their dislikes of Hawaiin Pizza (ham & pineapple on top), which they've retrieved from some thugs...and some panels later we see them chowing down on some slices while they're watching Batman in action from a nearby rooftop. Hilarious!

I go crazy just thinking about how awesome this book is. I should go grab it right now and read instead of writing this review. But oh man, its something you've got to pick up as soon as you log off your computer. Don't wait. Don't eat. Just drive over to your nearest book store and pick it up. Although you will likely have to order it. So take your time and enjoy a burrito.

From start to finish this book hits the target. As cheesy as that sounds, this Green Arrow Adventure shows you the extent to which a man is willing to go in order to fight for a cause.

The once Green Arrow was a Robin Hood-like hero who used an array of trick arrows and a right hook to fight off a world of criminals. Yet conviction and a boxing-glove arrow can not stop all of them. GA decides that if he, Speedy and his son Connor are to continue to fight the good fight, they need more. This book explains to you how easily it was for GA to defeat his opponent (without ruining it for those that haven't read)in Crawling From The Wreckage, and why his uniform and attitude have drastically changed.

If your a fan of the GA or just a first time reader, from beginning to end Road to Jericho is a refreshing and new start to the Oliver Queen/Green Arrow legend.
