Jun 30, 2011As I mentioned, this is my favorite Flashpoint tie-in so far. It accomplished everything I could've asked for it to do, and was an extremely enjoyable read. You don't need to know anything coming into the book, though a cursory knowledge of Green Arrow's personal continuity is particularly helpful in catching some of the nuances of the book. I highly recommend this, and am proud to give 5 out of 5 Stars. What're you waiting for-go buy a copy! Read Full Review

Jun 29, 2011This book does a great job of putting the reader in the position of both Queen and McCabe, forcing us to see how we might behave similarly to each, were we to be in their positions. The juxtaposition of levity and profound sadness give this book an emotional range equivalent to a three issue arc. This story may not impact the greater world of Flashpoint in any significant way, but it is definitely worth the read. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Aug 08, 2011Green Arrow Industries has some decent ideas to it and works with an idea that definitely makes sense in trying to take weapons that villains have created and to repurpose them for their own needs. While the whole military industrial complex angle makes it a scary notion, it's the kind of thing that can easily be expected to happen and someone like Ollie is the right kind of person under the wrong kind of circumstances. Though the second half of the book is a bit too much action and not enough of the character material. Ollie is a favorite, and this version of him has something to offer, but it's a disjointed one-shot with a lot of potential if it had the space to play with it. Read Full Review

Jul 06, 2011There's quite a few problems with this issue including very inconsistent art (four different artists were used on various pages), Queen's lack of prowess with a bow, and a level of preachiness that doesn't come off well on the page. That said, here's a Flashpoint character I'd like to see more of, so why is this title only a one-shot - especially when it seems to just be hitting its stride as the comic comes to a close? Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review

Comic Vine - Matt Demers
Jun 29, 2011I give this book a big ol' "skip" recommendation, and will continue to do so unless the next issues serve to bring some badly-needed development. Read Full Review

Comic Book Resources - Greg McElhatton
Jun 30, 2011Ultimately, there's nothing original or of note here. "Flashpoint" has turned out some fun mini-series and one-shots so far, but "Flashpoint: Green Arrow Industries" is not one of them. This is, in many ways, a new definition of a pointless comic. Read Full Review
