Green Arrow #17

This volume is issue #17 of Green Arrow Vol. 5 from DC's New 52 era. It is the starting point of Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino's run on the series and is regarded as the true "restart" of this volume. In the story, Oliver Queen wakes to learn that his father's old friend and former CEO Walter Emerson has sold Queen Industries to Stellmoor International, leaving him stripped overnight of his wealth and company. When he goes to confront Emerson, an arrow smashes through the window, pierces Emerson, and drags him outside; Oliver becomes the prime suspect. Immediately afterward, the floor where his last two tech-support allies, Jax and Naomi, are located explodes. Having lost money, identity, and friends, he flees to a backup safe house in Seattle, but when he changes into costume and appears, an archer calling himself Komodo aims an arrow at his forehead. Komodo knows all of Oliver's secrets, shoots faster and more accurately, and even uses the "trick arrows" from Oliver's own collection against him. This issue clears away the setup of the first 16 issues at a rapid pace, steering the story toward Oliver's relationship with his father, the truth of his time stranded on the island, and the ancient war waged in secret by the Arrow clan, opening the "Kill Machine" arc.
