Title ~ The Midas Touch

Series ~ Green Arrow, Vol 1

Pages ~ 144

My Rating ~ 2 bites

Green Arrow/Oliver Queen is having problems with some villains who think it’s ok to sow destruction and live stream it. Rush and his gang need to be taken down, but Green Arrow also has to deal with some kind of toxic waste monster and his lady love, Blood Rose. 

I have to say that I found this parallel story ho-hum. Though the live stream of the idiots trying to kill Green Arrow was a decent idea in this day and age of technology and videos galore. I have no idea wtf is going on with the toxic thing and Blood Rose. And I find I really don’t care. Most of the art is decent but I have to say that Green Arrow looks like he’s on steroids. He’s like Oliver Queen hulked out. It’s ridiculous. I have Volume 2 from the library, so I’ll give it a go, but I’m not hopeful.

Green Arrow is set upon by triplets and lets his cock do the thinking. After which he goes to China and screws the pooch. Not literally, thank goodness though after that first storyline I wouldn’t be surprised.

Ok, seriously? This has got the stupidest superhero story I’ve read yet. Other than Green Arrow/Oliver clearly letting his testosterone run the show, I had no idea wtf this entire thing was about. The artwork’s not bad if we’re talking about everything except Green Arrow. Oliver Queen looks normal, but Green Arrow keeps hulking out more and more. Soon he’ll actually be Hulk-sized. Supremely ridiculous and I’m done with this series.
