Summary
This issue is Green Arrow #14 from DC Comics' 2016 "DC Rebirth" era series, the third of six parts in the arc "Emerald Outlaw," originally published on January 4, 2017. Tension in Seattle reaches its peak in this issue: the perpetrator of a series of murders is an archer whose skill is nearly unmatched, yet the media and public opinion point the finger at Green Arrow, Oliver Queen, questioning whether he is implicated in the killings. With the police unable to catch the mysterious bowman, Green Arrow and Black Canary must investigate the true culprit themselves, trying to clear their names under the double pressure of public opinion and the police. Meanwhile, a disgraced police officer previously humiliated by Oliver in a viral video resurfaces, determined to bypass the law and "get justice" his own way. Multiple threads converge in Seattle, and the identity of the true culprit is gradually revealed in this issue. This volume is the single issue #14 of the series, containing the above segment of the arc; it is not a collection or a complete trade volume, so readers are advised to read it alongside the adjacent issues.
Editor's review
“翡翠逃犯”是DC重生时期《绿箭侠》中口碑相当稳的一段城市犯罪故事:编剧本杰明·珀西把超级英雄漫画写成了带有治安焦虑的都市悬疑片——凶手手段精准,舆论先行审判,英雄反而成了被通缉的对象。第14期正处在故事的中段转折处,既收紧了“箭杀手”的追查线,又把“警察绕开法律自行执法”的副线推到台前,使整期节奏紧凑而不失信息量。 画面方面,卡尔利尼、罗德里格斯与巴斯克斯接手本期的绘制,线条风格延续了系列明快、富有动感的调性,动作场面与西雅图街景都颇具张力。对已经追到这里的读者来说,这是一期信息量足、钩子明确的中间章节;对刚接触绿箭侠的读者,也足以感受到这个“没有超能力、靠箭头与判断力”的英雄在城市犯罪题材上的独特魅力。

FAQ
这一期的故事在整个系列中的位置是什么?
本期是《绿箭侠》(2016年连载)第14期,属于“翡翠逃犯”六部分故事线的第三部分,于2017年1月4日发行,之后被收录进合集《Green Arrow Vol. 3: Emerald Outlaw》(第12—17期)。
这本单期和合集有什么区别?
单期是32页的杂志式单行本,仅包含第14期内容;合集《Emerald Outlaw》收录第12至17期共六期故事,适合想一次读完完整单元的读者。
没读过前几期能直接看吗?
可以读懂主线,但“翡翠逃犯”是多线并行的连续故事,直接读第14期可能对凶手追查线和警方冲突线的来龙去脉感到跳跃,建议先补读第12、13期。
本期编剧和画师是谁?
