I knew that this limited series was for
mature audiences. But, I expected 1987 mature audiences stuff to be full of
violence and blood. While the Longbow Hunters has that is spades, there’s also
tons of drugs, adult language, sex, nudity, even Ollie’s doodle. (I’m not
talking Green Arrow with a pen and sheet of paper, folks.) This is R-rated
stuff!
I liked most of the book. Green Arrow’s
always been grittier than most super heroes in the DC corral. However, there’s
some flash backs that are disjointed, probably to reflect the damage mind of
some of the villains. Creator Mike Grell does some “Kirby”-level experimentation
with panels and sequential art. So, the reader should be aware because trying
to read the book from tradition left to right and then down and back to the left
doesn’t apply in this mini-series at all!
Enjoyable, but very hard to read.
Rating 7 out of 10
stars.
