I say this as someone who has enjoyed every single volume of Mike Grell's run on Green Arrow up until now, including the Longbow Hunters Mini-series that preceded it: this might very well be my favorite volume yet. The back of the book, as seen in my pictures, has the word "Wanderlust" on it in big white letters. That's probably the perfect word to describe the stories collected in here. At the end of the previouls volume, Black Arrow, Oliver Queen was a man who had been betrayed by his government, which caused him to lose credibility in the eyes of the public and the hold that he'd had on his life in Seattle. He was, to be blunt, no longer happy just sitting in place. The stories in this volume continue from that ending, sending our hero on a journey across the world and driving him into some of the most politically charged stories yet. Since he is now outside of America for an extended period of time, Grell takes this chance to have Ollie get involved in a number of different international issues. Africa, London, Canada, Ollie visits them all, getting involved in issues such as poaching, racial tensions, land ownership, and more. Naturally, since the world and its issues moves on, some of the conflicts might seem a little dated, as the political landscape is no longer what it once was. However, I thinkthey still hold up just fine and naturally allow us to see even more about our hero's personal views and how he has either changed or stayed the same over time.
As always, I suggest this to anyone who is a fan of either Mike Grell or Green Arrow, especially since the stories within are accompanied by some truly stellar artwork.

Interesting collection of sequential stories, paper quality only downside
