While never considerably exceeding expectations or delivering that one special moment, Green Arrow is probably the most consistent of all the "Rebirth" comics. #12 is no exception here, as Oliver Queen needs to cope with the media attention that his reemergence necessarily entailed, while also plotting to antagonise two of his nemeses.
It is especially Benjamin Percy's love for the character Oliver Queen, thoroughly felt in his playful characterizations, that give Green Arrow this special spark. And even though Percy's take on Queen and his environment are often a bit too superficial (ham monologues included), his insistence on bold and controversial political issues make the comic relevant and challenging at the same time. Combine all that with Otto Schmidt's edgy art and bright and distinct color palette, and you have comic that is satisfying on almost every level.
