Some thoughts about Green Arrow #29

Green Arrow is about to meet his opposite.

Ollie has arrived to Gotham City and now has decided to confront everyone who abuses their power, even the city's protector.

Well, same as usual I guess.

Ben Percy offers a new chapter where this time he makes the most logical team-up that you would expect. As I've mentioned before, Batman and Green Arrow are characters whose personalities play with each other's pretty well and Percy doesn't do a particularly bad job at creating a conflict between them. THE PROBLEM is that such conflict is completely based on the forced political themes that he has injected in the most blunt way possible and making both characters represent different ideologies instead of who they actually are as people (I mean, there's a mention of Bruce's family but aside from that?).

Also, I don't think I dig this... "conservative" take on Batman since it also seems kinda out of character. Not to mention that Percy is still HEAVILY repeating the theme of "If you're rich you're bad!" and barely touches anything else besides that.

Juan Ferreyra is a master storyteller that makes every page shine in creative ways and perfectly depicting the somber tone of Gotham.

Other than that, this is still as flawed as ever. No surprises.
