About this ebook

Oliver Queen thought he had it all figured out. As the heroic archer Green Arrow, he'd finally found a sense of purpose, friends to aid him, even a place on the Justice League of America. But now, he's not even sure where he came from... or who he came from. As Green Arrow discovers that his stranding on a desert island was more than just an accident, there seem to be more sinister forces at work behind all these sudden revelations. The Queen family is embroiled in a war generations old. A war of clans. A war of outsiders. Acclaimed creative team Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN) and Andrea Sorrentino (I, VAMPIRE) take Green Arrow on his most challenging adventure yet. Collects issues #25-31.

Ratings and reviews

This was the first Green Arrow graphic novel that I read and loved it!!! I couldn't put it down once I got into it. I wished the CW/DC based their TV Show off of this version of the Green Arrow. The Outsiders War has a great storyline. Check it out when you can.

I just couldn't stop reading, between the art style and story it is just simply an amazing read
