Oliver Queen and his father are returning from a safari in Zimbabwe in a private plane with one of the father's business partners and his son when a storm causes a plane crash on a desert island. Unlike other versions, Oliver is not the sole survivor, and in addition to man vs. nature, we get a little man vs. man, and a lot of conversations about relationships. Intended for children, this story is one of those that insults even that audience's intelligence. It's very dramatic revealing who lives after the plane crash, but not even a sentence or panel is wasted on those who don't. Oliver is depicted with a refusal to kill that comes and goes depending on the dramatic needs of the story and despite being a meat eater. It's hard to imagine any of this would lead Oliver to becoming a superhero. Very dumb and very disposable. no reviews | add a review

Something that's different with this Green Arrow is that Ollie is very opposed to killing any living being, human or animal. This boy was acting so scared to shoot an arrow, but great that he could hold fast to his beliefs.
Overall, this was a serviceable tale.
