"Plays to Diggle's strengths - a tight script, snappy dialogue, thrilling action and an immediate feel for who these well-defined characters are...

Jock's wonderfully kinetic, minimal art style is hugely energetic and stylish (and he creates some of the best covers around), and Diggle writes tough guys with enthusiastic elan, working with the language of the movies and making GREEN ARROW: YEAR ONE massively accessible as a result...

Amidst DC's continuity-heavy jamboree, it feels like a breath of streamlined high-action fresh air."
