Green Arrow, Vol. 7: Citizen's Arrest by Shawna Benson, Julie Benson
4.0
Been awhile since I jumped back into Rebirth Green Arrow. Now that the final volume just came out (even though series has been done for like 8 months) I decided to catch-up on the final two volumes. How does Benson do? Well pretty good.
First we have a tie in with No Justice. The less said about that portion the better. Now we move on to the main story. This is about Citizen. He's a new villain (or hero to some) in town who wants to take revenge on the 1% and rich, especially those who got away with crimes. At the same time this volume deals with the aftermath of Oliver losing Roy.
I think the story actually worked here. While Oliver is a self proclaimed SJW, he hasn't met someone as extreme as Citizen. So it makes for a interesting look into the difference of what is right and wrong and how Citizen uses the public to become judge, jury, and exacutioner. I also think Black Canary and Oliver together works well, Julie has a knack for solid dialogue. Also the Roy funeral issue is fantastic.
The art seems offbeat half the time, maybe muddy, and doesn't flow as well. Also, the tie in No justice issue is meh at best.
Overall good. A nice change of pace compared to Ben's run that ran out of steam. Not amazing but enjoyable. A 3.5 out of 5.
