Green Arrow #18

Summary
Single-issue overview: This is Green Arrow (2016 monthly) #18, published by DC on March 1, 2017, 32 pages, an issue from the Rebirth era. The issue is titled "The Return of Roy Harper, Part 1: The Black Artery," written by Benjamin Percy, with interior art by Eleonora Carlini and colors by Arif Prianto. The story unfolds across two interwoven threads: one looks back to earlier years, telling how Oliver Queen took in young Roy Harper, who survived by stealing on the streets, and let him learn that he was Green Arrow, after which Roy became his partner as Speedy; the other takes place in the present, as Roy—now using the Arsenal name—returns to the Spokane Indian Reservation where he grew up, seeking to help resist an oil pipeline project that will cut through local sacred land, only to be coldly received by his foster brother, who resents him and holds him responsible for their "father's" death. Together the two threads reveal why this legendary mentor and student fell out for years and lead toward their reunion. The issue also introduces forces such as the Wild Dog Militia for the first time. One clarification: the "Marvel Comics collection" mentioned in the catalog clue is an error—Green Arrow is a DC character; and this corresponds to issue #18 published in March 2017, not DC's 2011 New 52 Green Arrow #18 (which was "The Kill Machine" Chapter Two), nor the #18 of the new volume from November 2024. This issue is collected in Green Arrow Vol. 4: The Rise of Star City (collecting issues #18–25). No reliable Chinese edition information could be verified, so no Chinese edition data is available.
Editor's review
第 18 期是《绿箭侠》重生连载中位置很关键的一期：它第一次在“后闪点”时间线里把奥利弗与罗伊相遇的源头讲清楚，也第一次让这对“绿箭与快手”的师徒组合在新的历史框架里正式重聚。编剧本杰明·珀西采用“过去—现在”双线交替的写法：一边是街头少年被收留、接受训练、改造出古怪箭头的往昔，一边是输油管道逼近保留地、族人却把旧日之死怪在罗伊头上的当下。 对长期读者来说，这期最有价值的是填补新52时期被一笔带过的空白：罗伊的出身、他与奥利弗决裂的原因，以及那些“功能古怪”的箭头到底从何而来。画面上，常驻画师 Juan Ferreyra 偶尔缺席，由 Eleonora Carlini 接手内页、Arif Prianto 上色，风格与主线保持统一，动作场面干净利落。 单期篇幅只有 32 页，故事在第一章结束处留了明显悬念，想完整读完罗伊归来的弧线，需要接着看第 19、20 期，或直接收合集《The Rise of Star City》。如果你只看过真人剧，这期可作为了解漫画版绿箭—军火库关系的短小样本。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追《绿箭侠》重生时期连载、想补齐罗伊·哈珀出身线的读者
- 对绿箭与快手/军火库师徒关系感兴趣的粉丝
- 想用单期低门槛试读 DC 重生时期绿箭连载的读者
- 喜欢双线叙事、社会议题与动作场面兼顾的欧美漫画读者
Not a good fit for
- 想找漫威漫画或“漫威漫画合集”的读者：绿箭侠属 DC 角色
- 只认《绿箭侠》真人剧、期待剧集情节还原的观众
- 希望一册读完完整故事、不愿追后续期数的读者
Reading tips
- 先读完本期，再接着看第 19、20 期，才能走完“罗伊·哈珀归来”这一整段弧线。
- 若不打算追单期，可直接读合集《Green Arrow Vol. 4: The Rise of Star City》，其收录第 18–25 期。
- 留意本期双线切换的时间标记，回忆片段讲的是奥利弗出道早年，与当下时间相隔多年。
- 若想区分版本，请认准 2017 年 3 月发行、编剧 Benjamin Percy 的那一期，不要与 2011 年“新52”第 18 期混淆。
FAQ
这本《Green Arrow 018》是新52时期的那一期吗？
不是。标注“018”最容易混淆两个版本：DC 2011 年“新52”连载的第 18 期是《杀人机器》第二章；而 2017 年 3 月 1 日发行的第 18 期属“重生”时期，标题为《罗伊·哈珀归来 第一章：黑动脉》。二者期号相同，系列年份和故事都不同，需按出版年份区分。
绿箭侠是漫威角色吗？为什么线索里写漫威？
不是。绿箭侠（Green Arrow，奥利弗·奎恩）是 DC 漫画旗下的超级英雄，与漫威无关。所附“漫威漫画合集”线索应为误记，本书属 DC 出版物。
这一期主要讲什么故事？
双线叙事：回溯奥利弗早年收留街头少年罗伊·哈珀、罗伊以“快手”身份成为搭档的过程；同时讲述成年后的罗伊以“军火库”之名回到斯波坎印第安人保留地，帮助抵抗穿越圣地的输油管道工程，却因旧日“父亲”之死被义兄责怪。两条线共同解释师徒失和的真相。
本期有中文版吗？
未查到可靠的中文出版信息，暂无法确认为哪家出版社、何时出过中文版。若要阅读，可考虑英文原版单期，或收录本期的英文合集《Green Arrow Vol. 4: The Rise of Star City》（第 18–25 期）。
单期内容完整吗？需要买后续吗？
本期是“罗伊·哈珀归来”故事的第一章，正文 20 页，结尾留有悬念，完整弧线延续到第 19、20 期。若想一次读完，直接选收录第 18–25 期的合集更省事。
