It’s been a wild ride so far, and DC is sticking heavy with their guns on this one, no matter the wide variety (though often negative) reviews of the current storyline involving Green Arrow. This week, we continue where we left off last week with Green Arrow running away from everyone now that he’s been discovered as the murderer of Prometheus. This morning, DC posted a brand new teaser of this week’s issue:

GREEN ARROW #31

Written by J.T. KRUL; Art by DIOGENES NEVES; Cover by MAURO CASCIOLI; 1:25 variant Cover by MIKE MAYHEW

“The Fall of Green Arrow” begins here! Spinning out of the shocking events of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE and JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE RISE AND FALL SPECIAL #1 comes the destruction of Green Arrow. As Oliver Queen’s inner turmoil and guilt overwhelms him, secrets are revealed that will tear him asunder. What will the Emerald Archer reveal to the world that will change his life and the lives of the people around him forever? And why are Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), Barry Allen (The Flash) and the rest of the Justice League hunting him?

I have been an avid supporter of Cry for Justice, despite everyone being against me on this (except fellow writer Josh Mocle). I enjoyed what it did with the character and I am honestly interested in where it is going to go. That being said, I loved the Blackest Night issue of Green Arrow and HATED the Rise and Fall special due to it’s blatant disregard for continuity of a week that had come out a week before. We’ll see how/if I like this issue.

Now, if you listen really carefully at night, you may still hear from whispers on the wind a faint voice saying, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not as bad as everyone says it issss."
