Sadly, Green Arrow is mostly meh. I've made it through the first arc and it was a standard superhero fight. With some monologing from the hero. Green Arrow has always been a street level hero to me. These guys he was fighting and the way he was doing it just didn't draw me in.
The thing that makes Green Arrow different than Batman is social conscience. Batman fights crime. He doesn't do it to make Gotham a better place. He does it to bring justice. Green Arrow is all about society's ills. He's trying to make Star City a better place by dealing with the problems people bring. While I approve the move to the real city of Seattle , they lost track of why Geeen Arrow dresses up like Robin Hood and takes on the criminal element.
Things I liked: fast paced fight scene. Jurgens does know how to plot out one of those.
Things I didn't like: the lack of social conscience lost me. This Green Arrow is Batman with a different gimmick.
