Green Arrow #21 continues the story of a freshwater murderer. Like all previous issues, Chris Condon starts by contextualizing the story in a more realistic way than a vigilante who aims for a hood that points boxing gloves-shaped arrows at the Bad Guy. No, this Green Arrow Tale keeps readers wondering how often this happens today. How many people are affected by the chemicals in the community system? And from there, the story leaps to a higher boundary.

Oliver Queen is in trouble. Not only does his name have to do with the chemical disaster in Horton, but there are intruders in his home. Intruders are very similar to freshwater murderers. Wait, are they not dead? Obviously not that. So, this is a manga after all, and who’s really been dead these days? Unfortunately for this intruder, Oliver Queen is more than Oliver Queen. Maybe this was the wrong house to break in to seek revenge…
Condon handles the pace of this story very well. Again, the problem was over before I knew it, and I’m desperate to know what will happen next. There’s a bit of action in this issue, but the actual superhero itself is a bit slimmer and it really helps you bring home the personalities of this story.
Overall, this is definitely the best green arrow and has been written over a long, long time. Not only does the stakes feel real, but the issue at hand is a true ethical dilemma that is perfectly suited to DC’s most proud loudsell. This problem does something unthinkable and Ollie loses words. Furthermore, using the narratives of those who invade Oliver’s home is the best way to confront both Oli and the reader with the severity of the situation facing freshwater people.

Montos and Adriano Lucas continue to knock everything out of the park. The detailed approach to the story that Montos took helps maintain the strength of the story and emphasize this story as intended to be more graphic than other comics. Sometimes this blends things together, but while some readers may not be fans, it mainly helps to present the story as something with grit and raw emotions. From here, Adriano Lucas continues to add soft, intense colourful moments to the book. This helps to emphasize a particular moment more seriously or sincerely. Overall, the book is beautifully drawn and coloured by the great duo, keeping the emotional gravity of the story coming to life so much.
Green Arrow #21 is another big issue for Chris Condon, Montos and Adriano Lucas. The story isn’t very useful to get closer to the solution, but it takes a different approach and forces Oliver to rethink his perspective on his handling of Horton chemicals, and how clean his hands are doubt. As a result, this story remains an epic approach to contextualizing problems that occur every day through the lens of comic books.
