Some thoughts about Green Arrow #32

The final battle for Gotham is here.

The Dark Multiverse is taking over the city and is up to Green Arrow and the rest to save it no matter the consequences.

Boy, and you thought that the last issue was bad.

As I mentioned before, the Gotham Resistance crossover has been pretty bad for the most part, full of erratic pacing and off characterization so when this kind of stuff touches Ben Percy's Green Arrow you just know that things are just going to become worse.

And they do.

Pacing has always been an issue during this run but it gets especially bad here since Percy (accompanied by Joshua Williamson) make the story jump from segment to segment, from scenery to scenery without natural transitions or logical progressions which makes the whole read pretty chaotic. The character work is not bad per se since I do understand where Percy is going with Damian's portrayal although Ollie still seems like almost like a side-character in his own book (which to be fair, goes in vein with how other people treat him during this title).

Which takes me to the story, there's not a lot of it. Even if the heroes supposedly "discovered" the Dark Multiverse's weakness, I feel like this crossover barely achieved anything since they didn't even save Gotham and the main plot itself didn't progress at all.

Juan Ferreyra handles the artwork and as usual, his style is not really beautiful but he does know how to tell a story creatively although his work doesn't make the flow of the read any better.

Bad issue, bad crossover, better luck for the next one.
