Green Arrow #12
Tags
Summary
This volume is issue #12 of Green Arrow (the series launched in 2011) from DC's New 52 era, written by Ann Nocenti with interior and cover art by Harvey Tolibao, released on August 1, 2012. In this issue, Oliver Queen's journey turns toward China: he travels there to negotiate with the businessman Fang, who controls shares in Queen Industries, but the talks go poorly and Oliver himself ends up imprisoned—leaving only Green Arrow to continue the maneuvering. Thus bow and arrow meet Eastern martial arts in the streets, and the story advances through action sequences. This issue follows up on the thread of Oliver's return to Seattle in the previous issue and lays groundwork for his upcoming partnership with the Chinese martial arts expert Suzie Ming. It should be noted that this volume is a 32-page single issue, not a collected edition of multiple issues; the New 52 was DC's 2011 publishing initiative that restarted its entire timeline, and this run of Green Arrow differs from the pre-reboot version in both character setup and relationships, so readers can begin understanding this issue's conflicts from Oliver's entanglement with Queen Industries and his family legacy.
Editor's review
这一期的看点集中在「身份与处境」的错位上:奥利弗·奎恩以商人身份出面谈判,绿箭侠却要在铁窗与街巷间用箭解决问题,两者之间的落差正是「新52」绿箭侠连载常用的叙事手法。安·诺森蒂的剧本把商业角力与动作场面并置,虽然篇幅只有单期,却把「奎恩工业的控制权争夺」这条长线推进了一步;哈维·托利宝的画风线条干净、动作分镜利落,中国街景与武术打斗的呈现也颇具辨识度。对于按期刊收集「新52」时期绿箭侠的读者,这一期是连接西雅图线与后续中国功夫角色登场的关键节点;单期篇幅配合封面的强视觉,也适合作为了解该时期美术风格与编剧走向的样本翻阅。
Who it's for
A good fit for

- 关注安·诺森蒂在超级英雄作品中的编剧风格的读者

- 刚接触绿箭侠、没有任何系列背景了解的入门读者
- 偏好中文合订本或译本阅读的读者
- 对单期漫画价格与载体形式敏感、只想读长篇合集的读者
Reading tips
- 先了解「新52」重启背景,以及奥利弗与奎恩工业的关系,再读本册更顺畅。
- 把它与第 11 期、第 13 期连着看,才能完整感受奥利弗重返西雅图到中国线的连贯性。
- 若只关心故事全貌,可另寻收录该段的合订本,单期更适合作为收藏与期刊式阅读。
