Green Arrow #29

Summary
This is issue #29 of the DC "New 52" Green Arrow series, the fourth part of "The Outsiders War" storyline. Subtitled "The Prague Offensive," it is written by Jeff Lemire, drawn by Andrea Sorrentino, published in March 2014, and runs about 20 pages. "The Outsiders War" builds a new mythology for Green Arrow: several ancient clans exist around the world, each taking a weapon as its totem, and the Arrow Clan is only one of them. While searching for his father Robert Queen, Oliver Queen gradually discovers that his teenage years stranded on a deserted island and his eventual becoming Green Arrow were all along secretly manipulated by his father. In this issue, after Oliver leaves the island with the Arrow Clan totem, the front shifts to Prague; together with Shado, Robert, and some clan members, he tries to stop a hostile clan from launching an attack in the city. The story also advances the faltering relationship between Komodo and the girl Emiko, and ends on a cliffhanger. This issue is not a self-contained story but the middle of a six-issue arc, and must be read together with issues #25 to #31 before and after it. Visually, Sorrentino is known for highly designed panel layouts, large areas of white space, and broad fields of flat color, and with Marcelo Maiolo's coloring this series became one of the most visually distinctive works of the New 52 era.
Editor's review
如果你对绿箭侠的印象还停留在“射拳击手套箭的蝙蝠侠仿制品”，Lemire与Sorrentino联手打造的“圈外人战争”会彻底改变这个看法。他们把一个二线角色重新放回神话的坐标系里：武器氏族、图腾、父亲留下的谎言——奥利弗不再只是富家子出身的义警，而是一个被自己的家族史推上英雄位置的人。 第29期是这条长线的转折点之一。故事从荒岛转到布拉格，冲突从父子对峙扩大为氏族之间的战争，同时给科莫多与艾米科这对“父女”埋下裂痕。单看这一期，它更像一首长曲中的高潮段落：格局骤然放大，结尾留下让人措手不及的悬念。 真正让这册值得反复翻看的是画面。Sorrentino 对分镜的处理近乎平面设计，哥特教堂的尖顶、飞掠的箭矢、被拆解的每一个动作都被组织成严格的几何构图，Maiolo 又用克制的灰绿基调配以突兀的撞色，把情绪从画面里推出来。翻阅时常常会忘记自己在看一本商业连载。
