With a new creative team and a new story arc, the creators deliver a dramatic confrontation that strikes at the core of who Arrow is.

There are some sudden shifts in storytelling early on, which I'm guessing relate to larger DC plots that I haven't been reading. The art is also a mix of some fantastic visuals with some that didn't quite work for me.

But the main arc of this volume is complex, dark, and strongly delivered by all the creators involved--making this a solid follow-up to the previous installments in this series.

I enjoyed this storyline a lot more than I thought I would.

Best short run on a character I've read, really felt like authentic Green Arrow while still having the newer aspects of the character from the culmination of the New 52 and Rebirth runs before it. Much better and superior to the disappointing conclusion of the Percy's run.

The character of Citizen seemed pretty familiar but I still really liked this story. Quite simple but works.

"Green Arrow: End of the Road" is the second to last in the current DC Rebirth GA cycle. As such, it feels transitional and slightly choppy. The book primarily deals with the slippery slope that all vigilante characters must navigate as Oliver is challenged and hunted by The Citizen, a vigilante who shares his aspiration to be a Social Justice Warrior, but is willing to go to far more deadly extremes. The book also segues about a third of the way in to deal with the death of Roy Harper ( AKA , Speedy, Arsenal, Red Arrow) in the "Heroes in Crisis" story arc, which overwhelms Oliver with grief and anger while causing him to question his past decisions and motivations. All in all this is a good book. It is solidly constructed and entertaining even though the story it tells is not really new or original.

A noticeable step down from Percy's mostly-cohesive run, but there's still some nice art, fun adventure, and an unexpected emotional punch.
