Summary

• In a tale from happier but no less dangerous times, Green Arrow labors to train a new apprentice who's every bit as deadly as his fiercest villains: a teenage girl, that happens to be his half-sister! But before Emiko and Ollie can embrace as family, they have to save Seattle from a foe that can see the future of anyone he chooses...
• "[Benjamin] Percy adds an interesting new layer on top of [GREEN ARROW] by essentially turning the book into what seems like a horror story. There's a sense of dread and unease throughout the issue that works remarkably well at teasing our new villains. Beyond that, Percy smartly brings back several supporting characters used in the previous runs which gives it a good sense of continuity with what's come before."--IGN "Delightful and quirky."--Nerdist "A breath of fresh air."--Comic Book Resources "Delightful and quirky."--Nerdist "A breath of fresh air."--Comic Book Resources Delightful and quirky.
